Does anyone know how I can get a program to register the mouse over an object?

I can get it to tell if it is right over the centre of an object with object screen x() and object screen y(), but what if I click near the edge?

All I know is that it will probably involve knowing how far the object is from the camera.

I just mean a 3d object at any coordinates (as long as its on screen) with the camera at any coordinates.

hmm, the best thing i found for this sort of thing is not to use a 2d mouse at all.

Make a 3d arrow object, and use some of the mouse comands to see if the mouse is being moved (if it is then move the 3d object). If the mouse object is touching the other object when a user clicks the mouse, then strut your stuff

Sorry cant be of much help; in a rush.

yeah i do i do

you'll need to get object size X*Z/2 and Y this will give you the standard size ... now you'll have to * that number but the camera distance/100
then you'll have a kinda standard area, you then check 1/2 XY from the screen object.

Hopefully that'll all make sense

Is that all it is? I thought it might contain references to the fov() and aspect ratios or something, but still. How accurate an area does that give you?
