Umm... what the title said...

It's for my project. You might have come across some of my other threads. I plan on making the active object moveable with the mouse, but, for the life of me, I can't getting it to work. Probably something so simple it's evading me. That happens sometimes...

As always, I'll give credit in my program if you can help. Thanks.

Alright... let me explain further...

How do you get the object to move with the mouse, while the mouse is clicked, exactly where the mouse moves to.

YES!! That's exactly the effect I'm going for! I couldn't get it to work. I had to implement movement with the arrow keys, and it just plan sucks...

change the way to speak about your problem if you want to more help regarding it. Its clear to many users that your not really trying to apply yourself and people dont usually dump it on your plate all nice and neat for you.

If your refering to a 3d environment where u can move the camera around at any angle whilst also being able to click on an object and drag it around then look into the code snippets board or the code references. there have been many methods for this posted before hand.

The easiest method if your just starting is to limit the camera from rotating or moving and creating another object to provide the collision with.

mouse x() and mouse y() would be updated with this mousecubes location and if its collides with the 2nd cube or object then the 2nd object or cube is updated in position with the mouse cube.



"this sux and that sux " attitude wont get you far at all.

Eh... *looks at ground, kicks dirt, ashamed* sorry indi...

I was kinda rushed at the time. Don't recall why...

Anyways, I'll check out the code snippets board. Thanks...
