Why does the pick not work ?

[Slastraf]

I have a third person character controller, the character has pickmode(0).

I can walk around and have obstacles between the player and the cam , but nothing happens?

 

 

the self.pivot is a pivot which is at the center of the character (the camera focus).

 

updateworld:

 

 

if self.entity.world:Pick(self.pivot:GetPosition(),self.camera:GetPosition(),pickinfo,0,true) then

 

 

local model2 = Model:Box()

model2:SetPickMode(0)

model2:SetPosition(pickinfo.position)

model2:SetColor(0,1,0)

System:Print(">> PICKED")

--self.camera:SetPosition(pickinfo.position)

 

end

When I did this for one of my games I used Collision.LineOfSight in the Pick() and set all the environment to Scene. Also, I would pass true to both GetPosition() calls, if they don't share the same parent they could be in different coordinate space.

You could try picking from the camera on screen ordinates.

 

Depending on the location of the pivot whether it is behind the camera or in front, decides where it picks.

When i get the global position with GetPosition(true) , it works fine. Same as my last problem ._.
