Can anyone help me with some Javascript & Unity? Thread

So I have a spotlight but I need it to stay in one place - on the ground.Whilst the beam (the end) needs to follow and point at the mouse. I have absolutely no idea how to do this. So the beam kind of needs to rotate around an anchor at it's source.

All I can find is how to make the light follow the mouse at its source. Rather than just the beam facing the mouse.

Thanks guys

You need to do a raycast from the screen, passing through the position of the mouse, this will get the position in the game that the mouse is hovering over
save this in a Vector3 then do
transform.LookAt(mouse_Pos_Vector);
The code above needs to be in the light sources script.
I haven't actually tried this, but I assume it works.

Do a Raycast from player(Main camera) to the center of screen (where the player is looking at) and store that Vector as a Variable and use it on the torch as "Look at variable(Name of variable you stored the Vector of the ray).

If you're not familiar with Raycast look into the documentation.

It would also be wise to call it within an Update() function but you probably already knew that.
