Mouse selection(mouse collision - x/y coord to vectors)

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 4:50 pm

in the colliision demo collision is detected directly forward from the camera. what if the camera did not move (so it wasnt a fps camera, just a normal camera) but the mouse pointer then aimed the collision line.

I have no idea where to start in making a vector line from the mouse coords.

Any help please?

Cheers

Dan

You could use sceneCollisionManager to get a ray from screen coordinates:
