GetWorldFromScreenPosition

This function allows you to retrieve the world position corresponding to the 2D position on the screen, at a certain depth.
If you want to detect what element is at a particular point on the screen, use processLineOfSight between the camera position and the position returned from this function when passed a high depth value (100 or so, depending how far away you want to detect elements at).
Syntax
float, float, float getWorldFromScreenPosition ( float x, float y, float depth )
Required Arguments
- x: A float value indicating the x position on the screen, in pixels.
- y: A float value indicating the y position on the screen, in pixels.
- depth: A float value indicating the distance from the camera of the point whose coordinates we are retrieving, in units.
Returns
Returns three x, y, z floats indicating the world position if successful, false otherwise.
Example
This example binds the local player's "i" key to a function that creates an explosion in the middle of the screen.
function explosion () local w, h = guiGetScreenSize () local x, y, z = getWorldFromScreenPosition ( w/2, h/2, 10 ) createExplosion ( x, y, z, 11 ) end bindKey ( "i", "down", explosion )
