| What does it mean to make objects pickable? How does it work? Do you know of any tutorials? |
| ||
| first you have to set the entity you want to pick to be able to be picked, using: http://blitzbasic.com/b3ddocs/command.php?name=EntityPickMode&ref=3d_a-z then you can use the pick commands, this is the camera pick command, which is quite often used with the mouse co-ords to pick an entity that the user has clicked on: http://blitzbasic.com/b3ddocs/command.php?name=CameraPick |

| Thanks but what does it do? Why would I ever want or need to use this? |
| ||
| They are for when you need to identify/select an entity, for whatever reason. For example, you can use CameraPick with the mouse position to select an entity on-screen by clicking on it. |
