Camera::Pick Not Working as expected

[martyj]

So I have an entity that I'm trying to use the Camera->Pick on. I am picking the entity at the center of the screen, and no matter what I do, it always chooses objects behind the entity that I am looking at.

 

Whether I set closest to true, pick radius to a number, or default of 0.

 

this->camera->Pick(centerOfScreen.x, centerOfScreen.y, pickInfo, 0.0f, false);

 

How should the entity be setup so I can pick it?

 

 

 

It's so bad that it will even pick the terrain that's far off in the distance before it even considers the tree.

Check if the entity you want to pick has a script, if yes , check if it has self.entity:SetPickMode([insert pickmode here]) in the start function if there already is one then just remove it, it should be pickable by default (if no then put it in the start function).

[martyj]

The PickMode is the default behavior for an entity. The other objects that I can select, have a default PickMode as well.

 

I can't actually find a difference in this object compared to other entity objects, except maybe the Collision Type. But the default collision mask is 0, so it shouldn't be checking for that.

Change that boolean property to true and try it.

Yep, setting it to true will fix that.
