Picking objects of a loaded mesh

[MauJovi]

Hi everyone, i'm a newbie playing with Babylon.js, so be nice. haha

I already saw a lot of picking meshes codes, onmousehover, onmouseout and stuff, but I wanted to use it in a loaded mesh. Especifically an .obj file.

I have a 3DS exported file with a lot of shapes, and I've already achieved some part of my objective using the code below, that returns me the name of my shape(nice!).

window.addEventListener("click", function () {
    var pickResult = scene.pick(scene.pointerX, scene.pointerY);
    console.log(pickResult.pickedMesh.id);
});

Now I want some hover and selected effect, but I haven't seen something like that on the internet.

I've tried to implement raanan's suggestion with jquery, but i wasn't successful.

What can i do?

Thanks in advance

We'll do out best!

My jQuery extension can be found here - https://github.com/BabylonJSX/Native-JS-Events , along with explanation of how to use it. This was more targeted towards web agencies that just need an embedded webgl frame but still use jquery for the rest of the site. Using jquery on your babylonjs window only for that will be redundant

Another way would be to use the onPointerMove event. The second variable of this callback is the picking info. So the job is done for you

Answering your question, I found a small bug with the onPointerMove function  but it is fixable, for sure. anyhow, here is a playground to get you started

It was easier than I thought! Thank you.

Btw, as I can see on my researches about babylon, you and other contributors are doing a great job. It was certainly the main reason to me to choose this framework. Congrats!

Thanks! Always wonderful to hear.

I made a remark about a bug - well, it isn't. I simply forgot about the conditions for picking...

Here is an updated version, without making a second pick call : http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1YHPTN#1
