Anyone have any ideas on how to make the same kind of mouse steering in DBP as in the game Freelancer? You press a button and the ship moves towards the mouse pointer.

I use the PICK OBJECT and pick vector commands to get a 3D coordinate where the mouse intersects an invisible plane. That gives me a way point that a ship can navigate towards. There are other commands that also convert a 2D mouse location into a 3D world coordinate. I like the map clicking method because it works from nearly any camera angle.
