Mouse collision

[Guest]

Hi, I've read all the stuff on 2d-to-3d and mouse collision on this board. But my program is still not working:

My mouse acts independently from the camera, the camera is aimed at the player. The below code doesn't work, as in I don't get any hits. If I use the intersection with the line (commented out bit), though, I get tons of hits.

Code: Select all

       line3d<f32> mouse3d = colmgr->getRayFromScreenCoordinates(Cursor_Position,camera);

        core::line3d<f32> line;
        line.start = Camera_Position;
        line.end = line.start + (camera->getTarget() - line.start).normalize() * 1000.0f;

        core::vector3df intersection;
        core::triangle3df tri;


        if(colmgr->getCollisionPoint(mouse3d, metaScene, intersection, tri))
//      if (smgr->getSceneCollisionManager()->getCollisionPoint(line, metaScene, intersection, tri))
 printf("Hit\n");

The mouse coordinates are given to me properly, so I think the problem must be in the getRayFromScreenCoordinates function. Any idea what it could be ??

Sorry, that was me. Not logged in ...

I've solved the problem, at least partially:

Changing

Code: Select all

colmgr->getRayFromScreenCoordinates(Cursor_Position,camera);

to

Code: Select all

colmgr->getRayFromScreenCoordinates(Cursor_Position);

does the job. I don't understand, why, though. How can my camera be different from the actual camera?
Just above the code posted earlier on, I have two lines:

Code: Select all

   camera->setTarget(Player_Position);
   camera->setPosition(Camera_Position);

Shouldn't the camera be the same as the "camera" ?
