ember-mouse-picking-incorrect

[Erik Ogenvik]

The mouse picking is sometimes incorrect.

We use OpCode for our mouse picking, which provides a collision detection system. All entitites in the world have a corresponding collision mesh, which is checked against a ray to catch collisions. Since version 0.5.0 however it seems like the opcode collision mesh often is incomplete, resulting in incorrect mouse pickings.

A collection of example screen shots of how it gets it wrong can be found here: http://amber.worldforge.org/ember/screenshots/various/picking/

One solution might be to use this instead of Opcode:

New collision detector commited, needs some testing.
