Given a screen coordinate, outputs the start and end points of a line going through that point (2 and 400 units away from the camera, respectively). | Given a screen coordinate, outputs the start and end points of a line going through that point (2 and 400 units away from the camera, respectively). | ||
That might sound weird, but usually you'll just wire those points into a [[Raycast]] to find the object the user tapped, or [[Line vs Plane]] to find where on the ground the user tapped | That might sound weird, but usually you'll just wire those points into a [[Raycast]] to find the object the user tapped, or [[Line vs Plane]] to find where on the ground the user tapped (see [[Screen To World#Examples|Examples]]). | ||

Because of this bug, the script will not function correctly on the first frame. To avoid incorrect values, use the block's output only if the [[Current Frame]] is greater than 0. | Because of this bug, the script will not function correctly on the first frame.
