Hello.

So I'm working on an RTS. I'm at the part now were you can select units by making a drag box. however my first test is not working. The camera can change hight and what not and I'm not sure how to use pick screen correctly. Mostly the field of distance. Is that the distance to zero on the plain, the cameras hight, or something else? any ideas?

Thanks much!

edit: what I'm asking for in specific is help with just the code pick screen. I can do the rest. but when I use pick screen it does not work correctly.

I believe it's the vector distance, that is the distance straight out from the camera's current view.

you may also want to look into the pick object command
