Search help

  • Simple searches use one or more words. Separate the words with spaces (cat dog) to search cat,dog or both. Separate the words with plus signs (cat +dog) to search for items that may contain cat but must contain dog.
  • You can further refine your search on the search results page, where you can search by keywords, author, topic. These can be combined with each other. Examples
    • cat dog --matches anything with cat,dog or both
    • cat +dog --searches for cat +dog where dog is a mandatory term
    • cat -dog -- searches for cat excluding any result containing dog
    • [cats] —will restrict your search to results with topic named "cats"
    • [cats] [dogs] —will restrict your search to results with both topics, "cats", and "dogs"

You'd have to describe the problems first. We can't read minds :(

You can project mouse coordinates into the world. Or you could pick object at cursor location (ground, let's say), this will give you world location of where you clicked.

But you'll need to be more descriptive first.

Have you tried this:

I still do not know what you are trying to do? Click on the ground, click on a unit? Your are converting mouse location, are you trying to place something in the world using UI?

Woooo that works !

Im trying to select a unit

But i think my first step is to know my mouse click location in the world, later see if there is an object in that position

or there is another way to do it?

Give your actors tags, FriendlyUnit, EnemyUnit, FriendlyBuilding, Ground and so on, at the very bottom:

When you HitBreakResult, pull a wire from HitActor (this is the actor that you clicked, either the ground mesh or the unit) and search for ActorHasTag. Compare it to tags you created and you can branch the execution this way.

Something like this:
