Hi guys , i having a little problem with mapping objects picked so that i could drag them. the selection is working okay(i tested it)....but i dont know how to extract the nearest object picked and perform dragging...

i tried doing some dragging but ended up dragging the whole lot of models, but my intention is to drag individually.

i could move individual models with the keyboard but that does not involve picking which is fine, i just want to be able to drag individually...how do i map these two picking and draging

thank you

if any body has any idea...please help thanks

Please edit the OP by removing and re-pasting the code snippet. Make sure to paste it as raw text and wrap it then with tags. Pasting it as raw text may require you to first paste the snippet into a basic text editor (i.e. where syntax coloring and such is not used) and copy it from there.

In general: When the picking ray hits several objects, simply chose the one that is hit in the point closest to the origin of the ray and on the positive side of the track.

if any body has any idea...please help thanks

As written above: Paste only raw text. It must not have different sizes, text coloring, weighting, styles, ... Perhaps your Browser has a function "paste and adapt style" or something similar. Or else try the indirection using another, simple text editor to paste the text to and copy it from there as raw text.
