Description
Gets the X, Y, Z world location below the mouse cursor. This basically traces from the position of the mouse cursor to the next colliding geometry in world space.
To get the entity use GetMouseHitEntity.
Syntax
GetMouseHitLocation()
Parameters
- This function has no parameters.
Return Value
- Returns 4 float values, X, Y, Z and distance.
Example
Example from the map editor package. https://github.com/BlueMountainsIO/OnsetLuaScripts/blob/master/mapeditor/client/editor.lua
function OnKeyPress(key)
if key == "Left Mouse Button" then
if IsEditMode then
local x, y, z, distance = GetMouseHitLocation()
AddPlayerChat("Hit: "..x..", "..y..", "..z..", "..distance)
-- if selected location is not valid (i.e. clicking sky) 0.0 is returned. we set it to something high so the check is triggered later on.
if distance == 0.0 then
distance = 999999.9
end
SelectedLoc.x = x
SelectedLoc.y = y
SelectedLoc.z = z
SelectedLoc.distance = distance
SelectedLoc.isValid = true
local EntityType, EntityId = GetMouseHitEntity()
if (EntityType == HIT_OBJECT) then
if (EntityId ~= 0 and SelectedObject ~= EntityId) then
SelectEditorObject(EntityId)
end
end
end
end
end
AddEvent("OnKeyPress", OnKeyPress)
