I know this question has been asked many times and answered, but I'm currently having no luck with any of the answers I've followed (mainly this one Mouse / Canvas X, Y to Three.js World X, Y, Z).
I've gotten object selection done and working the code I am using is as follows
onMouseMove:function(event)
{
event.preventDefault();
var scope = Game.GSThree,
$container = $(scope.container.element),
width = $container.width(),
height = $container.height(),
vector,
ray,
intersects;
scope.mouse.x = (event.clientX - scope.container.padding.left) / width * 2 - 1;
scope.mouse.y = - (event.clientY / height) * 2 + 1;
scope.mouse.z = 0.5;
vector = new THREE.Vector3(scope.mouse.x , scope.mouse.y , scope.mouse.z);
ray = scope.projector.pickingRay(vector.clone() , scope.camera);
intersects = ray.intersectObjects(scope.tiles.children);
if(intersects.length)
{
var hovered = intersects[0].object;
scope.selectObject(hovered);
}
}
This works fine, but actually I need to also know the exact world coordinates of my current mouse position. I am not sure if the solutions I've tried hold true for the orthographic camera, which is what I am using. If I log either scope.mouse.x or vector.x these do not give the world coordinates, ray finds the objects perfectly fine, but I don't know how to get the current coordinates of the ray in the world.
