So,

Code: [Select]

%Pos3D = VectorAdd(%client.camera.getPosition(), VectorAdd((%x / 15) SPC "0" SPC (%y / 15), %client.player.getForwardVector()));

=

camera pos + ("x/15 0 y/15" + forward vector)

as long as I can get help to capture the 3d position, i can script the rest

what i'm saying is as long as you have x and z of the delta vector, you don't need y (you can ray cast until you hit an AIPlayer). In other words, instead of a zoom method like you were talking about, it just finds the first AIPlayer on the line extending forward from the point where the player clicked.

You should be able to do it in script if you knew the 2d position of where the client clicked and the client's resolution.

Look at this picture:

I know this should be done in C++ but I'm wondering how to get the 3D world coordinates from the 2D mouse position.

here's what i have so far (which doesn't work very well):

Code: [Select]

// commandToServer('GetMouse3DPos', canvas.getCursorPos(), getRes());

function serverCmdGetMouse3DPos(%client, %clientMousePos, %clientRes) {

%Pos2D = (firstWord(%clientRes) / 2) SPC (getWord(%clientRes, 1) / 2);

%x = firstWord(%clientMousePos) - firstWord(%Pos2D);
%y = getWord(%clientMousePos, 1) - getWord(%Pos2D, 1);
// The cursor position is based off of the top-left corner of the screen
// This makes x and y relative to the center of the screen

%delta = "0" SPC (%x / 10) SPC (-%y / 10);
// If you click above your player, for example, this will be about:
// 0 0 1
// The z value is how far above your player you clicked

error(%delta);
%Vec3D = VectorAdd(%client.player.getForwardVector(), %delta);
%Vec3D = VectorAdd(%Vec3D, %client.player.getPosition());
messageClient(%client, '', '3D position is: %1', %Vec3D);
}

Code: [Select]

if( !$addedPlatformMaps ) {
   ...
   $addedPlatformMaps = true;
}

Don't forget that part :)
