Screen To World Point [SOLVED]

[pjrm1470]

Hi. I'm trying to convert the mouse position to the game world position. I'm making a Tank game so i want the cannnon to rotate on Y using the Vector3 position of the mouse, but when i set the X and Y position to the Action "Screen To World Point", my variable Vector3 is always (0.0, 0.0, 0.0).

Am i doing something wrong?
Attached images "FSM_MousePos1.jpg" and "FSM_MousePos2.jpg" to show the process. I created 3 variables:

• Vector3 MousePointPos
• float MouseXPos
• float MouseYPos

those are visible on the Action!

Best regards,
PJRM.

Why not use Mouse Pick store the intersection vector3 with the floor?

I'm not sure why it is acting that way, have you tried using Normalized? Also, XZ is horizontal, so you're storing a vertical number in Y but looking from Top-Down.

I didn't get it.
avoiding the subject of rotating the cannon, Mouse Pick and also Screen Pick doesn't work either to get the position of the mouse in the world position.

I couldn't find one example with this action (Screen To World Point) working on playmaker. Maybe if i do it inside a c# script and make a public variable to be get into the PSM.

What you think? Would be beter?
