vec_for_screen to place objects

Hello,

I'm trying to use vec_for_screen to place objects on the ground by using the mouse.

But in everything I tried the object were misplaced.

So what I'm asking for is a small expample of code on how to place an object (ent_create) on ground using vec_for_screen to create it.

Thanks

Hallo,

Ich bin auf der Suche nach einem Weg die vec_for_screen Anweisung zu verwenden um Objekte mit Hilfe der Maus auf dem Boden zu platzieren.

Bei all meinen Versuchen waren die Objekte allerdings irgendwie immer verschoben.

Also bin ich auf der Suche nach einem Code-Beispiel mit dessen Hilfe ich Objekte (über ent_create) auf dem Boden platzieren kann mit Hilfe von vec_for_screen.

Danke

Hello,

you could try something like this:
Code:

---

VECTOR vec_to; // target vector of mouse trace

vec_set(vec_to, mouse_dir3d);
vec_normalize(vec_to, 4000); // length of trace
	
// trace from mouse position to target vector.	
c_trace(mouse_dir3d, vec_to, IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_PASSABLE);

if (trace_hit) ent_create(.., target,..);

---

I would try the search option:
