Second camera breaks clicks on main camera view

In this PG:

I set up a second camera which has a viewport at the bottom left of the screen.  That camera / viewport needs to be on top, but when it's on top I can no longer click the sphere through the main camera.  I can only click it through the smaller viewport.

I can get it to working again by adding the small viewport camera to the active cameras array first, but then the viewport is no longer on top.

Thanks Nabroski.

Is there a way to click on the sphere in both cameras?

At first I was thinking I could track the position of the mouse.  That wouldn't work very well for mobile devices, though.

Hello


things become more complicated with action manager

but im not sure. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events

 

EDIT
@adam
push the needed meshes in an array this is kind of layer thing, you can not click from one to an other layer
instead you can access the database of the engine and work you way from their

I am able to click back and forth like this:

I don't like how you have to click twice though.

It would be nice if we could register a function that gets called right before _updatePointerEvent and receives the pointerEvent.

https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/src/babylon.scene.ts#L689

then I could update scene.cameraToUseForPointers right when I need to.

I found scene.onPointerObservable:

it fires too late to avoid the double click between the viewports.

I found scene.onPrePointerObservable and it is now working.

Anyhow when you push the cameras the right way (or something) its working also, 

 

this is non optimized code from a project of my, maybe you find something useful, i also try to get familiar with github

maybe, their is more, and i dont have the time to find out, where the things start to work, maybe its also a bug, but a good one, -  sorry
i think what we are doing always project related, u are right their should be a global solution!

 you solution works great!
