Documentation / Node reference / code nodes
The point where a ray meets a plane.
Geometry
This is the node that turns a cursor into a position. A code/CursorRay says which line through the scene the pointer picks out, a code/Plane says where to stop, and this gives the one point that is both. Wire the result into a code/SetObjectPosition inside a geo/Actor and the object follows the cursor across that plane.
Not every ray meets its plane. One running parallel to the plane never touches it, and one pointing away from it only would meet it behind its own start, which does not count as a hit. In both cases the fallback value is returned instead, so a miss is a value you chose rather than a silent zero.
| Name | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| fallback | Vector3 | The position to return when the ray never meets the plane: parallel to it, or pointing away from it. |
Scenes you can open in the editor that teach this node.
An object that follows the mouse across a plane. The cursor ray is built in the graph and intersected with that plane, then an actor moves the object there on every tick.
