Click Detection

[Xander]

Hi

Is there a way to detect if a user clicks on an object?  for example, to move the object and/or change its propertys?

If so, could you post the code :?:

Thanks

scene.mousepicking - using the cursors' coordinates.
But remember that tvs mouse coords are not the same as windoze coordinates.

yeah, how does tv do this in windowed mode? does it know to position op the window and then calculates where was clicked?

This is a basic of what i have.. works both Windows/Fullscreen

Code:

    Dim Mx As Long, My As Long
    Dim ImpactX As Single, ImpactY As Single, ImpactZ As Single
    Dim Pick As TVCollisionResult

    Inpt.GetAbsMouseState Mx, My

    Set Pick = Land.MousePick(Mx, My)

    If Pick.IsCollision Then
      ImpactX = Pick.GetImpactPoint.x
      ImpactY = Pick.GetImpactPoint.y
      ImpactZ = Pick.GetImpactPoint.z
    End If

Anti-Gremline code is correct, but his way is limited to landscape.

Use Scene.Mousepicking as JC said, it will return all the information you need (collided object, intersection point, normal point etc...)

I was only giving an example, but yeah just change it to Scene
