i'm trying to get it so that when someone clicks an enemy is 3d space, a little box appears around it to denote it being selected. How do I get this to happen?

I had some code that did this, but I overwrote it. Clever old me. Actually mine was a drag box, not clicking. that worked by converting the 3d coordinates of an object into 2d screen ones, then checking if it was inside the box that was drawn with the mouse.
Probably a much better way of doing this, but i would run a function after a click that converts ever object's coordinates into 2d scre en ones, then make an imaginary box using that and check whether the moue coordinates are ithin that box. The size of the box would be dependent on dbObjectSize and distance from the camera
