ok so im trying to make a simple program to make an object below where the cursor object is.the object placed will be aligned with the plain(this will be replaced with a terrain later)

you need to press the "r" key after each click to reset it(i don't have a timer system yet) or hold it down to make a one every loop.

but the hit points of the cast are always at like 1.23...,0,0
so what am i doing wrong?



Thanks for you time

not sure which bit you are get your value from, however have you notice that your objects are being place in the middle of the plain see picture.

Are you talking about the "hit distance 1.62..." on HowDo's screenshot? you get 1.28?
It's from the "pick screen mousex(),mouseY(),1000" you use an arbitrary value (1000) for the distance parameter and get a slightly wrong value in return vectors. You could increase it to get more accurate result though, or use "get pick distance()".
Your "hit distance" value should always be 1.5 nothing else, the cursor at 2 above the ground and the ray hits the ground at 0.5

What version of DarkBasic Pro are you using? The pick commands changed alittle in the 7.4 update (the one i am using, and i suppose HowDo also).

what nvidia driver are you using, is the newest one that's just come out.

have you update darkphysx to 1.05.

are you running on vista or XP.

just going through the checks to see if you have done every thing.
