Babylonjs action manager

[droggam]

Hello coders,

I tried scene.actionmanager(

etx and

if(evt.sourceEvent.key=='f')

{ Let sphere666= etx

sphere666.position.y= evt.pointerY

}

so basically what I want is press f

and create sphere at where mouse is at

the code is THE parts i remember rn.

problem is its not Creating a sphere

but pointerX is correct values etx

anyone can help?

Hi @droggam and welcome to the forum. Could you make a playground with what you have so far, that really helps us to help to.

@JohnK

Well thanks i Guess im on mobile.

problem but i Will try later again

[trevordev]

@droggam try this http://playground.babylonjs.com/#571YN6

[droggam]

PG is not working for me att all only get directed to default template

@trevordev

[trevordev]

@droggam It works for me, maybe try again, it looks like the default playground but if you click on the platform the sphere should move

@trevordev

Hi i Will Keep trying.

I tried gui lib No luck

Babylonjs GUI i mean what wrong with it?

Trevor I really tried solve My puzzle

So far this is what i found out I see that pointerX is 666 value and it need divide

It 100 Times to even see THE new created ball in THE screen when

So how do i translate pointerX to real value in babylonjs vector3?

Hi again @droggam I know it is frustrating for you but we do need a working or nearly working playground to build from.  The playground from trevordev http://playground.babylonjs.com/#571YN6 does work even if it is not exactly what you want. In this playground click anywhere on the grey square and the sphere will jump to that position. Instead of making the sphere jump could you make a sphere appear at the place where you click. When you have done this then explain a small change that you want to make to get it closer to your final goal.

@droggam You could try to use offsetX instead of pointerX, offsetX will be the pixel offset of the canvas you clicked on. You can then use scene.getEngine().getRenderingCanvas().width to get the width of the canvas. Subtract scene.getEngine().getRenderingCanvas().width/2 from the offset X and you have the distance in pixels from the center of the canvas. Multiply this by a ratio to convert pixel distance to meters (eg. 1/100) and set the x position to that. Maybe that is more what you are looking for?

Can you try a different browser?

Ye i Will try i started out with phaser3

And happy i changed to babylonjs.

Feel like more fun n documentation

I just feel gamedev in general is buggy and errorprone 

What is offset exactly i Will research for sure but IF pointerX is not correct how to builds working game.

And another question what is a Good approach of i want say a grid and put items in THE small boxes like i Said tried install babylonjs GUI but it couldnt find THE packade in npm terminal
