how do i pick terrain with mouse

Like i don't whant to pick the terrain using camerapicking i woulde like to use only the mouse just to get the name of the terrain by clicking on it or other entitys like how is this done

CameraPick cam,mousex(),mousey()

thatl do it for ya

It would be very hard to do it without a camerapick call. Unless you want to find the xy bounding boxes of ojects, sacrifice some accuracy and check whether or not the mouse is in it.

Camera pick is not always accurate, I've had instances when a camera pick on terrain refused to give an object ID (terrain) or x,y,z co-ordinate.

I think it was because that piece of terrain was in a gully? or maybe i had clicked too many times before??

PS what command do i use to get the size (x,y,z) of an object, in relation to distance from camera.

I don't know much about picking terrain (sorry) but I can help you out with your PS question. First off, I interpret your question to mean you want the screen pixel dimensions of the object (your question is a little unclear.) Assuming that, there is no built-in command but in the Code Archives there are example codes to find the bounding box around an object, what you need.

There are answers, that are no answers ....
