pick

Doesn't the pick object have an x, y, z value in Lua?

 

pick = CameraPick(camera, Vec3(MouseX(), MouseY(), 1000), 0, 0)
	if pick~=nil then
		if pick.entity~=nil then
			Notify("x="..pick.x.." z="..pick.z)         -- this errors out saying it's not valid
               end
end

The pick class should be the first parameter to CameraPick, because CameraPick returns an int saying if anything was picked or not.

The fps script that comes with Leadwerks has

 

pick=CameraPick(camera,Vec3(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2,2.0),0,0)

 

Adding pick to the first param gives me access violation and kills the editor.

 

Note this is in the Lua forum

The pick class in Lua has 5 subclasses (entity, surface, triangle, position, normal), so you need to use pick.position.x.

Bah, thanks. Dang Josh and his inconsistency. Thanks

Any idea why I have to left click twice in the editor to get this code to run? Even that Notify("Inside click") won't run unless I click twice.

 

if MouseHit(1)==1 then
               Notify("Inside click")
	pick = CameraPick(camera, Vec3(MouseX(), MouseY(), 1000), 0, 0)
	if pick~=nil then
		if pick.entity~=nil then
			Notify("x="..pick.position.x.." z="..pick.position.z)
		end
	end
end

I've seen other applications call FlushMouse() before checking their mouse events.

 

Maybe giving that a try before checking your MouseHit()?
