Doom 3 like interactive screens

[ivam]

Heya guys, i was curious if anyone had an idea or could point me into the right direction on how to implement computer screens like in doom 3.

as a reminder, when mouse over on the doom 3 screens the crosshair turns into a mouse cursor on the actual screen an it allows you to click on that said screen.

Hi,
try System Events > MOUSE Enter/Over/Exit
or
Mouse Pick Event action if you need a distance.

ah i see, how would i go about with creating the cursor on the screen(probably raycast, create on location) and confine it to the screen space and all of that ?

Create a fsm on your "screen gameObject" with Mouse Enter Event in one state and connect it to another state. In that second state use Set Cursor action.
Then add Mouse exit event to return to first state for example.

later..
To avoid using raycast for distance measures, could add a isTrigger Collider, so when Player enters the trigger zone, that "screen" fsm starts to react.

Hope this makes sence:)
