Why my Input touch code doesn't work on AR Foundation?

Trying to build an AR app where I can have a number of input touch like drag, rotate, scale, double tap to event, hold on object to event etc.
Everything works fine in a test scene I have built [not AR].
Once included the code in my AR placedOnPlane prefab [template scene - place on plane], once I touch the object, it disappears, and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong!
Finally, I took advantage of LeanTouch and everything works fine (why? because it's a badass asset), but I usually hate using assets when I have my code that is working equally good and I spent days on it! Some help please.
I tried commenting out the built in drag function in the PlacedOnPlane code that comes with the scene of ARfoundation but it didn't work.

This is because you are using Physics.Raycast which does't work on AR trackables(Planes) because they don't have any specific geometry associated with them.
So to interact with trackable data unity has provided separate Raycast method that is available in ARRaycastManager in ARFoundation.
In previous version of ARFoundation it was available in ARSessionOrigin. So check which version you are using of Ar Foundation.
You can use it like this
enter code here
`
[SerializeField] ARRaycast​Manager raycastManager;
void Update()
{
if (Input.touchCount == 0)
return;
Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
if (raycastManager.Raycast(touch.position,s_Hits,TrackableType.PlaneWithinPolygon))
{
// Raycast hits are sorted by distance, so the first one
// will be the closest hit.
var hitPose = s_Hits[0].pose;
if (spawnedObject == null)
{
spawnedObject = Instantiate(cube, hitPose.position, hitPose.rotation);
}
else
{
spawnedObject.transform.position = hitPose.position;
}
}
}
`

How to Rotate an Object Based On Swipe

I am working on a script to move an object back anf forth based on swipe similarly to a game called Sky Rusher on the iOS App Store. The movement in the original game lets you swipe in any direction and an object moves in the same direction. However, the object also "bounces" for lack of a better term. For example, if you swipe to the left, the object will tilt to the left and then tilt back to its original position. For the best example I can give, please take a look at this video for a demonstartion of the game:
Sky Rusher Gameplay
This is the code I currently have (the object also doesn't move back and forth when swiping, not sure what==y that is but have an idea on how to fix it):
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class MovePlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
private Vector3 currentPos;
private Vector3 touchPos;
private float screenWidth;
private float screenHeight;
private float touchX;
private float touchY;
private float objectX;
private float objectY;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
touchX = 0;
touchY = 0;
screenWidth = (float)Screen.width / 2.0f;
screenHeight = (float)Screen.height / 2.0f;
currentPos = new Vector3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if(Input.touchCount > 0)
{
Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
if(touch.phase == TouchPhase.Moved)
{
//touchPos = new Vector3((touch.position.x - screenWidth)/screenWidth, (touch.position.y - screenHeight)/screenHeight + 1, 0.0f);
touchPos = new Vector3(touch.position.x, touch.position.y, 0.0f);
touchX = (touchPos.x - screenWidth)/screenHeight - 1f;
touchY = (touchPos.y - screenHeight)/screenHeight + 1f;
//objectX = ((currentPos.x * screenWidth) - screenWidth)/screenWidth;
//objectY = ((currentPos.y * screenHeight) - screenHeight)/screenHeight;
objectX = currentPos.x;
objectY = currentPos.y;
objectX += (touchX - objectX) * 1.5f;
//objectY += (touchY - objectY) * 1.5f;
if(touchX >= 0.9f)
{
objectX+=0.05f;
}
else if(touchX <= -0.9f)
{
objectX-=0.05f;
}
currentPos = new Vector3(objectX, objectY, 0.0f);
transform.position = currentPos;
}
}
}
void OnGUI()
{
/*
// Compute a fontSize based on the size of the screen width.
GUI.skin.label.fontSize = (int)(Screen.width / 40.0f);
GUI.Label(new Rect(20, 20, screenWidth, screenHeight * 0.25f),
"Pos: x = " + (objectX.ToString("f2")) +
", y = " + objectY.ToString("f2"));
GUI.Label(new Rect(20, 50, screenWidth, screenHeight * 0.25f),
"Touch: x = " + (touchX.ToString("f2")) +
", y = " + (touchY.ToString("f2")));
*/
}
}
I need my object to tilt when moved similarly to how it is done in sky rusher. My game is played in a landscape orientation on an iOS Device using Unity Remote 5 and Unity 2018.3.

Quick way to achieve this effect, if I understood correctly what you mean:
1) Each time touchX >= .9f (you are moving right) apply localRotation along Z axis with some angle.
2) Each time touchX <= -.9f (you are moving left) apply localRotation along Z axis with some negative angle.
To make this look smooth and not jumpy, apply rotation along several frames, first calculating target rotation, then using RotateTowards with some given speed. Here is yourr code slightly modified:
public float tiltEffectAngle = 20;
public float tiltEffectSpeed = 90f;
void Update() {
var targetRotation = Quaternion.identity;
if (Input.touchCount > 0) {
Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Moved) {
//touchPos = new Vector3((touch.position.x - screenWidth)/screenWidth, (touch.position.y - screenHeight)/screenHeight + 1, 0.0f);
touchPos = new Vector3(touch.position.x, touch.position.y, 0.0f);
touchX = (touchPos.x - screenWidth) / screenHeight - 1f;
touchY = (touchPos.y - screenHeight) / screenHeight + 1f;
//objectX = ((currentPos.x * screenWidth) - screenWidth)/screenWidth;
//objectY = ((currentPos.y * screenHeight) - screenHeight)/screenHeight;
objectX = currentPos.x;
objectY = currentPos.y;
objectX += (touchX - objectX) * 1.5f;
//objectY += (touchY - objectY) * 1.5f;
if (touchX >= 0.9f) {
objectX += 0.05f;
targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(
transform.localEulerAngles.x,
transform.localEulerAngles.y,
tiltEffectAngle);
} else if (touchX <= -0.9f) {
objectX -= 0.05f;
targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(
transform.localEulerAngles.x,
transform.localEulerAngles.y,
-tiltEffectAngle);
}
currentPos = new Vector3(objectX, objectY, 0.0f);
transform.position = currentPos;
}
}
transform.localRotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.localRotation, targetRotation, tiltEffectSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}

Unity 2D Mouse Zoom, but zoom in to location of mouse point

Edit : I need an answer for a 2D implementation, not 3D. So the 'Asked Before' question doesn't work for my project.
Edit : Using the accepted answer below, this is my working script. It's slightly off because the 0.1F part of the Vector3 is hard to get right, but it works. Time.deltaTime didn't work though.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class CameraZoom : MonoBehaviour
{
private float zoom = 10;
Vector3 newPosition;
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") > 0 && zoom > 9)
{
zoom -= 1;
Camera.main.orthographicSize = zoom;
newPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, newPosition, 0.1F);
}
if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") < 0 && zoom < 101)
{
zoom += 1;
Camera.main.orthographicSize = zoom;
}
}
}
Original Question : I have a basic script for zooming in and out, but when I zoom back in with the mouse-wheel, I want to zoom in to the point of the mouse cursor. I think you can see something similar in the Paradox Games (EU4 etc), where you zoom out, hold your mouse over a country off to the left of the screen, then zoom in and the country zooms in and becomes centered.
Here's my basic script so far, attached to my camera, which just zooms in and out in a straight line.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class CameraZoom : MonoBehaviour {
public float zoom = 10F;
void Update () {
if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") > 0 && zoom > 9)
{
zoom -= 1;
}
if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") < 0 && zoom < 101)
{
zoom += 1;
}
GetComponent<Camera>().orthographicSize = zoom;
}
}

I haven't tried this myself but I hope this will work.
Vector3 newPosition;
bool canZoom;
bool isMoving;
void Update ()
{
if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") > 0 && zoom > 9)
{
zoom -= 1;
canZoom = true;
}
if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") < 0 && zoom < 101)
{
zoom += 1;
canZoom = true;
}
if (canZoom)
{
isMoving = true;
Camera.main.orthographicSize = zoom;
newPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition);
}
if (isMoving)
{
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, newPosition, Time.deltaTime);
}
if(transform.position == newPosition)
{
isMoving = false;
}
}
Note: If you want the camera to maintain certain camera height, adjust newPosision's y value before moving.
Hope this helps.

Calculate the difference in world space and move towards it while zooming.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class CameraZoom : MonoBehaviour {
public float zoom = 10F;
void Update () {
if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") > 0 && zoom > 9)
{
zoom -= 1;
}
if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") < 0 && zoom < 101)
{
zoom += 1;
}
Camera cam = GetComponent<Camera>();
RaycastHit hit;
Ray ray = cam.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
Vector3 targetPos;
if (Physics.Raycast(ray , out hit))
{
targetPos = hit.point;
}
Camera cam = GetComponent();
cam.orthographicSize = zoom;
cam.transform.position += (targetPos - transform.position) / 5f;
}
}

C# with Unity 3D: How do I make a camera move around an object when user moves mouse

I am trying to make a 3d viewing simulation in Unity 4 where the user can select an object and move their mouse to rotate around it (360 degrees) I have taken many shots to try get it to work, but I fail each time, any help will be appreciated and if it is written in C# that would be great! (But it doesn't have to)
Thanks in advance!

This is a different and interesting way :) (I use it)
(Here, the cube is the target)
1) Create sphere - Name: "Camera Orbit" - Add material: Transparent (Alpha = 0) - As scale as you want - Rotation: (0,0,0.1f)
2) Add the camera as a "child" to Camera Orbit's surface. Position = (0,"y = camera orbit scale",0)
Rotation = (90,0,0)
3) Create empty GameObject - Name: Input Control.
InputControl.cs:
public class InputControl : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject cameraOrbit;
public float rotateSpeed = 8f;
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
float h = rotateSpeed * Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
float v = rotateSpeed * Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
if (cameraOrbit.transform.eulerAngles.z + v <= 0.1f || cameraOrbit.transform.eulerAngles.z + v >= 179.9f)
v = 0;
cameraOrbit.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(cameraOrbit.transform.eulerAngles.x, cameraOrbit.transform.eulerAngles.y + h, cameraOrbit.transform.eulerAngles.z + v);
}
float scrollFactor = Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel");
if (scrollFactor != 0)
{
cameraOrbit.transform.localScale = cameraOrbit.transform.localScale * (1f - scrollFactor);
}
}
}
CameraController.cs:
public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform cameraOrbit;
public Transform target;
void Start()
{
cameraOrbit.position = target.position;
}
void Update()
{
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(transform.rotation.x, transform.rotation.y, 0);
transform.LookAt(target.position);
}
}
4) Add CameraController.cs to Camera.
5) Add InputControl.cs to Input Control.
6) Set public variables in scripts. ("Camera Orbit" and "Target")
That's all. Mouse click and drag: Rotate - Mouse whell: Zoom in-out.
ps. If you want, you can change target as runtime.

The MouseOrbit script do that:
http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=MouseOrbitImproved#Code_C.23
Just attach this script into your Camera Object, and link the target object in inspector.

-- Use this for the Mouse Press down and drag
-- I modified the code here: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=MouseOrbitImproved#Code_C.23
public Transform target;
public float distance = 5.0f;
public float xSpeed = 120.0f;
public float ySpeed = 120.0f;
public float yMinLimit = -20f;
public float yMaxLimit = 80f;
public float distanceMin = .5f;
public float distanceMax = 15f;
private Rigidbody rigidbody;
float x = 0.0f;
float y = 0.0f;
float mouseX = 0f;
float mouseY = 0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
Vector3 angles = transform.eulerAngles;
x = angles.y;
y = angles.x;
rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
// Make the rigid body not change rotation
if (rigidbody != null)
{
rigidbody.freezeRotation = true;
}
}
void LateUpdate()
{
if (target)
{
GetMouseButtonDown_XY();
x += mouseX * xSpeed * distance * 0.02f;
y -= mouseY * ySpeed * 0.02f;
y = ClampAngle(y, yMinLimit, yMaxLimit);
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(y, x, 0);
distance = Mathf.Clamp(distance - Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") * 5, distanceMin, distanceMax);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Linecast(target.position, transform.position, out hit))
{
distance -= hit.distance;
}
Vector3 negDistance = new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, -distance);
Vector3 position = rotation * negDistance + target.position;
transform.rotation = rotation;
transform.position = position;
}
}
public static float ClampAngle(float angle, float min, float max)
{
if (angle < -360F)
angle += 360F;
if (angle > 360F)
angle -= 360F;
return Mathf.Clamp(angle, min, max);
}
Vector3 mousePosPrev;
void GetMouseButtonDown_XY()
{
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
mousePosPrev = Camera.main.ScreenToViewportPoint(Input.mousePosition);
}
if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
{
Vector3 newMousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToViewportPoint(Input.mousePosition);
if (newMousePos.x < mousePosPrev.x)
{
mouseX = -1;
} else if (newMousePos.x > mousePosPrev.x)
{
mouseX = 1;
} else
{
mouseX = -0;
}
if (newMousePos.y < mousePosPrev.y)
{
mouseY = -1;
}
else if (newMousePos.y > mousePosPrev.y)
{
mouseY = 1;
}
else
{
mouseY = -0;
}
mousePosPrev = Camera.main.ScreenToViewportPoint(Input.mousePosition);
}
}

This is perfect. The only change I made is to add a script to the Camera Orbit:
public class FollowPlayer : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject player;
private Vector3 playerPos;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (this.transform.localScale.x <= 1)
{
this.transform.localScale = new Vector3(1, 1, 1);
}
if (this.transform.localScale.x >= 15)
{
this.transform.localScale = new Vector3(15, 15, 15);
}
playerPos = player.transform.position;
this.transform.position = playerPos;
}
}
Then attach your "player" object to the Input Control, and the input control will go where ever the player does, allowing you to track the player, as well as rotate and mouse wheel zoom. Fancy.
The localScale if statements means you can only zoom in and out so far.
The only problem with this script now is that if you zoom out to 15 and then keep trying to zoom out, the camera bounces. I'm sure that's an easy fix, though, I just haven't put the time in yet.

You don't need the CameraController at all, just set the camera's z rotation to -90.

Bouncing (via code and not physics material) and changing height

I'm creating on a game where the player is always bouncing up and down can go on different ground with different hights.
I have created this code for bouncing :
transform.position = new Vector3(Mathf.Lerp(transform.position.x, Towards.x, Time.deltaTime * 5), minY + Mathf.Abs(Mathf.Sin(Time.time * 3) * maxY) , transform.position.z);
with "MaxY" I controll the amount of height in a bounce. I change maxY when the ball is on the ground so it will have a smooth movement
if (Mathf.Abs(Mathf.Sin(Time.time * 3)) < 0.02f && grounded)
{
grounded = false;
maxZ = 2.5f * maxY;
}
else if (Mathf.Abs(Mathf.Sin(Time.time * 3)) > 0.02f)
{
grounded = true;
}
my problem is when the ball goes to a higher or lower ground.
i detect hight of the ground with this code :
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -transform.up, out hit, 40, mask))
{
minY = GetComponent<SphereCollider>().radius + hit.point.y;
}
and then it will be added to the minY in next update. but the problem is the player will suddenly change it's position in the air when the minY changes.
I need a code to make this change of height smooth but cant come up with any idea.

Here is my very simple solution maybe you can give it a try:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class jump : MonoBehaviour {
private float radius;
public float jumpPowa = 350;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
radius = GetComponent<Collider>().bounds.extents.y;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (isGrounded())
{
GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.up * jumpPowa);
}
}
private bool isGrounded()
{
return Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -Vector3.up, radius + 0, 1);
}
}
