how would I place an objec, say a cube, at a set distance, infront of the camera, and get it to match the co-ordinates of the mouse on the screen ?
to help, what I have, is a series of boxes, which is the game area, which the camera looks at, and I rotate the camera around the boxes.
but I need to be able to place an object behind the boxes ( the game area is at 300 from the cam, and the object is to be placed at 500 from the cam )
I`ve seen all the posts on how to get an object to be placed on a matrix, and various angles, but what I need is to always have the plain that the object is on is parallel to the monitor screen.
I`ve added a lil pic to try to explain for me..
