Multi views and actionManager triggers

[garidan]

I have a multiview, 3 cameras and viewports, and switching from "old way" to manage actions to the actionmanager one.
I use ExecuteCodeAction with trigger OnLeftPickTrigger and it does activate an event only on one of the views, so one camera only.
RegisterAction has no camera parameter thus I would expect babylon manages the right camera for picking meshes, based on viewports and mouse coordinates, but it does not seem the case.
Any clue or suggestion?

 

Thanks

The "working" camera is the last one pushed as active

OK, I see "cameraToUseForPointers" in source code of scene.....

this.cameraToUseForPointers = null; // Define this parameter if you are using multiple cameras and you want to specify which one should be used for pointer position

Using multiviews, and perhaps in other multi camera usecases, this cameraToUseForPointers should be dynamically determined, in my case based on pointer coordinates.
Any clue, or any idea for a patch/future enhancements ?

I think the right place where I could override and change behaviour is _updatePointerPosition:
 

        Scene.prototype._updatePointerPosition = function (evt) {            var canvasRect = this._engine.getRenderingCanvasClientRect();            this._pointerX = evt.clientX - canvasRect.left;            this._pointerY = evt.clientY - canvasRect.top;            if (this.cameraToUseForPointers) {                this._pointerX = this._pointerX - this.cameraToUseForPointers.viewport.x * this._engine.getRenderWidth();                this._pointerY = this._pointerY - this.cameraToUseForPointers.viewport.y * this._engine.getRenderHeight();            }        };

Here I could change cameraToUseForPointers dynamically, with no side effects (?) right ?

Sounds good to me:)

OK, I did it this way:

var createScene = function() { BABYLON.Scene.prototype._updatePointerPosition = function (evt) {	var canvasRect = this._engine.getRenderingCanvasClientRect();        this._pointerX = evt.clientX - canvasRect.left;        this._pointerY = evt.clientY - canvasRect.top;	this.cameraToUseForPointers=getViewportCamera(this._pointerX, this._pointerY); }......

var getViewportCamera = function(x0,y0) {	var canvas =  engine.getRenderingCanvas();	// reverse y axis, apply scale -> xy origin in lower left corner	y = (perspectiveGlobalView.height - y0/engine.getHardwareScalingLevel());	x = x0/engine.getHardwareScalingLevel();        // logic hereafter depends on your cameras layout, code could be generalized here	// default camera	res = sideCamera;	if (x > perspectiveGlobalView.x && x < (perspectiveGlobalView.x+perspectiveGlobalView.width)) {		if (y > perspectiveGlobalView.y && y < (perspectiveGlobalView.y+perspectiveGlobalView.height))	{			res = camera;		}	} else if (x > topGlobalView.x && x < (topGlobalView.x+topGlobalView.width)) {		if (y > topGlobalView.y && y < (topGlobalView.y+topGlobalView.height))	{			res = topCamera;		}	}		return res;}
