With many different objects on screen, is there a way that certain objects ids can be returned?
Because of the limited number of 3D commands currently available I am not bothered at this stage if it is via vectors, xy screen positions, color or anything else although ideally it would be via mouse click or touch.

ObjectRayCast does the trick, but doesn't work with scaled objects (see thread http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=214800&b=41 for details).

@CJB very clever, I can see how it works. I will not be scaling objects in my current project so I should be able to use it.

Hopefully we might get a lot more 3D commands similar to some provided in DBPro sooner than later. An Object Hit or Collision would have been apt for my application here but until it happens I am very happy to use your method.

Many thanks.

Oh yeah, thank you both OminusPrime for the idea and CJB for providing the link. I was stuck without the help from you both.

Thanks.
