Lock pointer to object

[Richard C]

I'm struggling to find a solution either in the docs or playground.

I am moving a small mesh with the pointer using pointerMove - no problem. That mesh's movement is restricted to a confined area - no problem.

I would like to keep the pointer over the mesh while it is being moved and more especially not move off the mesh it is moving when the mesh reaches the borders of the restricted area until the pointerUp event is triggered. Currently, the mesh stops moving as required but the pointer moves off the mesh which is what I am trying to stop.

Any help please.

Thanks

Hi,

I understand you want to apply collision : https://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/cameras,_mesh_collisions_and_gravity.

On chapter "4 - Object vs. object collision", you can see the method moveWithCollisions. There is a playground on this tutorial

I found another playground here : http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#184SZL#4

Hi ViBe

Thanks for your reply. I do not see or think the issue is about collision. I just want to know if it is possible to attach the pointer to an object being moved via the pointer X Y position in the scene.

Thanks again

I don't think you can prevent the user from moving the point... would be horrible if java script was allowed to do that, right?
