So Ive been reading up on an rts tut by Phaelax. And in one of the code snippets in there there is a command called get3dmouse(). But when I compile it, it says there is a syntax error. So my question is, how do I fix it? Or is not a native command and its from a plugin?

It's not a built in function, it's a user declared one. I'd guess that whatever you're copying is just part of a program. Hunt around in the code for something that says "function get3dmouse()"

I already checked. I guess I'll have to write it myself.

it's a pretty popular tutorial... I'd be surprised if there was non-functional code where you'd have to write a "get 3d mouse" function.

When you read the tutorial, it says that whatever code you use to get the 3D coordinates from the mouse click(the matrix specific code, or the pick object() code) will be referred as get3dMouse() from that point on. So just make your own function called get3dMouse() that does the same thing.

Here's mine if you want it:


Note: You'll probably have to adjust for the tutorial but I think you can figure it out.
