What's exactly your problem with this? Are you not getting the right 3D positions?
Using the following line should give you the exact 3D coordinates of a click:
Code:
var pos1;
var pos2;
pos1.x = mouse_pos.x;
pos1.y = mouse_pos.y;
pos1.z = 0;//0
vec_for_screen(pos1, camera);
pos2.x = mouse_pos.x;
pos2.y = mouse_pos.y;
pos2.z = 100000; //20000 use a big value here
vec_for_screen(pos2, camera);
trace_mode = ignore_passable + ignore_Sprites + ignore_models;
target =0;
c_trace(pos1, pos2,trace_mode);
After that simply save the 'target' it will return and use it. 
Cheers

Hey, that's very cool.
I'm wondering: How did you do the "corners" if the selected unit?
Are they just another model? Looks like it... but then how do you set it to be exactly the size your selected object? Or don't you?
An ingame editor's pretty cool. Does that mean you'll have a map editor in the game? but then what are you going to do with roads? they'll be hard to put in in an ingame editor...?
keep it up!

Thankyou for point me this, PHeMox, thats exactly what i´m doing.
But, instead of give me the exact clicked place, it gets me in the TARGET vector a place in between the camera and the place I had clicked. I got tired of trying tons of changes on it... so I decided to go ahead with the tool and maybe get some help from the community to correct this later.

I make a loop through the entity vertices, and get theyr x,y,z lower and higher positions, from what I get its real rendered dimensions. Then I compare it with a model , 64 quants squared ( Its a model, AlphaChannel skin... ) and adapt its scale to fit exactly the model size. The result isnt perfect all times, anyway.
When making scaling calculations, I set the Pan/tilt/roll to Zero of both entities, to get exact or ( something so ) results, them I put them back to the original position.
When I get home I will post this simple code.
About maps, I think will not work with them.
Thankyou GermanUnkol

Your welcome. Well, the only thing that I had problems with was when I used this code but not used c_trace. Do you use c_trace too? If so, then I'm not sure what's wrong hehehe,

for line drawing use these functions:
rel_to_screen (VECTOR* vector, VIEW* view);
draw_line(VECTOR*, COLOR*, var alpha)
look the up in the manual to see exactly how to use them, all you'd have to do is take a invisible box model scale it up and vec_lerp the distance between all 8 vertices to about 20% and draw from the vertex to that point
edit: Also carlos, sorry for hijacking your thread, the game looks, nice, i like the editor, and i have no idea how to fix your problem cuz that is how i would have done it too

Hi. I´m just finishing the work for the in game editor i´m using in Formula Cars game, and just made this screenshot, I changed the style a lot and placed the editor panel in the left side of the screen. The object spawner opens a secondary little window with options to set, not yet finished, but close to it..  I already made an improvment with corners "drag´n drop" style control to set the region limits of the objects to be spawned. Interesting that after develop with some functionalities in mind, I ended up with some I didnt planned but worked also nice, as an example, the hability of move the corners of the selected regions also in the control panel :  The code inside the tool is interesting also to study and see how some functionalities were achieved, so I think this tool altought simple can be very usefull not only to populate or even build complete model only levels, but also to new people to learn. This tool will be basically free for use, and I´m already setting a C-Lite converted one to contribute.
