Raycast Collider Tag not returning correct result

Question

Hey there, just a small problem I am having raycasting in Unity. I want to play a video after clicking a gameObject tagged "PlayButton1" which when clicked will play/pause the video. I have the code almost working, in that, if I add a semi colon after the hit.transform.tag line it will play/pause the video, but when clicked anywhere, not clicking on the specific object I want.

Really can't figure this out and don't know ehere to go from here. Thanks in advance!

 var movTexture : MovieTexture;
 
 
 
 
 function Update () {
 
 
 var hit : RaycastHit;
 var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
 
 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
 
 {
 
 
 
   if (Physics.Raycast(ray, hit, 100))
   
   {
   
       if (hit.collider.tag == "PlayButton1")
       
       {
 
          if (movTexture.isPlaying) {
         movTexture.Pause();
         
         
     }
         
         
         else {
         movTexture.Play();
         
         
     }
 
 
 }
 
       
       
 }
 
 }
 
 }

Try this, I'm sure you simply misplaced a section of your code.

 var movTexture : MovieTexture;
  
 function Update () {
  
 var hit : RaycastHit;
 var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
  
 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
  
 {
   if (Physics.Raycast(ray, hit, 100))
  
   {
     if (hit.collider.tag == "PlayButton1")
     {
         if (movTexture.isPlaying)
         {
         movTexture.Pause();
         }
         else 
         {
         movTexture.Play();
         }
     }
   }
 }
 }

If this doesn't work try adding in a Debug.Log so that you can make sure it's hitting the right tag and make sure the collider on the button is not set to trigger.

Note: if it still dosn't work try chaing "ScreenPointToRay" to "ViewportPointToRay"
