Hi, im new to three.js. Im trying to get the mouse z coordinate trough raycasting the with a plane on the scene
( which i took from the examples) and i get an intersection. However
1 - the intersection is only halfway the plane (which is weird)
2 - i cant get the z position by "mouseZ = INTERSECTED.point.z ;" this stayes 0;
The parts of the code that affect this are included. Could you please help me out?
regards Teo
var projector = new THREE.Projector();
var INTERSECTED;
function findZ(x,y)
{
var intersected;
var v = new THREE.Vector3(x,y, 0.5);
projector.unprojectVector(v, camera);
var ray = new THREE.Ray(camera.position, v.subSelf(camera.position).normalize());
var intersects = ray.intersectObjects( objects );
if (intersects.length > 0)
{
mouseIntersect = true;
INTERSECTED = intersects[ 0 ].object;
INTERSECTED.material.color.setHex( 0xff0000 );
// show the intersected object more clearly by changing color
mouseZ = INTERSECTED.point.z ;
}
else
{
mouseIntersect = false;
mouseZ="broken";
}
}
var objects = [];
var material;
var planeW = 90;
var planeH = 90;
var testplane;
function createandaddplane()
{
testplane = new THREE.Mesh( new THREE.PlaneGeometry( planeW, planeH, 3, 3), new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0x555555, wireframe: true } ) );
testplane.rotation.x = - 90 * Math.PI / 180;
testplane.name = test;
scene.add(testplane);
testplane.visible = false;
objects.push(testplane);
}
function onDocumentMouseMove( event )
{
mouseX = event.clientX;
mouseY = event.clientY;
var newx = (mouseX/window.innerWidth)*2-1;
var newy = -(mouseY/window.innerHeight)*2+1;
findZ(newx,newy);
mousebox.innerHTML = newx+ ' ' + newy +' '+ mousedown + mouseZ + ' '+ mouseIntersect;
}
