Hey guys, I’m having a little trouble with selecting a model using ray casting. I mean, I got the general idea to work, I can make a unit move to a spot based on where I click, but I have no clue of how to select a model when I mouse-pick it. I’m trying to have my modified version of TestBetterCharacter (found in here http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/forum/topic/rts-unit-selection-and-movement-help-needed/) respond only once I’ve clicked on it. Could anyone help? Also, I’ve made the BetterCharacterControls into an array of 128, and right now I’m using physicsCharacter[1] to test everything, physicsCharacter[0] would be nothing selected.
I am not exactly sure what the question is, so I’ll give it a try:
while ray casting you get a list of collisions.
Select the one you need (most likely the closest)
Then you can find out which spatial / geometry is refered to, by that collision.
[java]Geometry target = collisionObject.getGeometry();[/java]
