Direction between mousedown and mouseup

HI Everyone,

I'm trying to get the direction between mousedown and mouseup, for projectile. But i'm getting my z direction always zero, whenever i try to throw my object it goes in y direction. Below is my script.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. #pragma strict
3.  
4. var speed :float = 1500;
5. var startMousePos:Vector3;
6. var endMousePos:Vector3;
7. var direction:Vector3;
8. var sphere : GameObject;
9.  
10. function Start () {
11.    
12. }
13.  
14. function OnMouseUp(){
15.     endMousePos = Input.mousePosition;
16.     direction = (endMousePos-startMousePos).normalized;
17.     var ballClone :GameObject = Instantiate(sphere,this.transform.position,this.transform.rotation);
18.     ballClone.rigidbody.AddForce(direction*speed);
19. }
20.  
21. function OnMouseDown(){
22.     startMousePos = Input.mousePosition;
23. }
24.  
25. function Update () {
26.  
27. }

any idea how to get z direction right.

your in "screenspace" not "world space".... are you trying to do a 2d or a 3d game?

 

Hi thanks for the reply.

I'm making 3d game

 

Basically i want to make projectile by swiping of the finger in any direction.
