I'm trying to cast a ray into the screen (to target at objects) using Dark Physics based on the position of the mouse. Does anyone have an idea how to do this?

I just can't get my brain around it at the moment.

soul sucking devils, twisted body of the damed, slivering slim drips from every poor, sin licking at your ears, and the smell stinging your eyes, and if you don't like it, get out of my kitchen!

Ok change of plan. I need to be able to make a 3D object move around on the screen like a cursor. I need it so it's always on the screen and always in front of the camera, wherever the mouse cursor is.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

EDIT:
Thanks for that sindore. It's not what I was looking for but I learnt a few things from it.
