Focus on center of screen?

[kinetiknz]

I'm trying to setup an FSM that can detect which ever object is currently visible in the center of the screen under a gui cursor. With the intention of making an FSM that can cycle through materials. I can't figure out the combination of nodes to construct it though, has anyone done something similar?

There are quite a few samples in PlayMakerSamples\TestLab\GUI that deal with picking (e.g., MouseOverObjectGUI, MousePickCursor).

You can use Lock Cursor in the Set Mouse Cursor action to keep the cursor in the center of the screen (like in the NoExit sample). Or use Screen Pick with screen coordinates set to the center of the screen (0.5 if normalized).

For material cycling, take a look at PlayMakerSampes\TestLab\Material\MaterialEffects.
