Hi,

I'm trying to get an object to follor the mouse cursor on the screen and have been looking around the forums for some help. I've come across one that people seem to be using but I can't seem to make head or tail of it. Could someone shed some light on or elaborate it.

pick object() gets the object under the mouse

get pick vector x(), y() and (z) give you the 3D coordinates of the object under the mouse relative to the camera and then add the camera position to the coordinates to get its actual position in the 3D World.
