Yay! A working polygon perfect mouse picking snippet, without the 2d distance cheats! Of course, this is unoptimized code because I only had the morning to code this, but it shows a method to do it.

Credits go to Yin Nadie for his collision tutorial at http://www.ilogicgames.com which could amazingly be applied for programs like this.

NICE CODE! I see it a bit complicated for use it now in my RTS (perhaps because all the variables and I screw up) but I'll surely have it stored for when I'll need it, it's a good code indeed good work, it's like the Pick Object of DBP...

I've got a question for you. I need your code for my rpg game..of course, i've downloaded it but in my db editor, the memblock command doesn't exist. But, when I delete the lines which are using this command, mouse picking doesn't work. Any sugestions??

@Phoenixon:

Get DarkMatter and install the patch. Unless you can read model vertex data and their positions on the spot using some complex maths, you have to stick with make memblock from mesh to read the vertex coordinates in real space. It doesn't work because you deleted the commands that make it work, duh. Forget about making an RPG then if you can't figure it out.
