your code is saying if object 2 is on the screen make the object pick count start at object one and end at object one, this because the command object in screen(2) returns a one not the object number.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that all the "pick" stuff uses bounding boxes/spheres. I had a similar problem when I had an object with a lot of open space to it where there were no pollygons. When I tried to pick an object behind it, I got the one in front.

Also, if you have all your targets in a loop, you need to make sure you aren't getting the last one in the ray, but the closest. You may need to check by distance.

The fastest code is the code never written.

Like HowDo said change it to this.
