Hi<br /><br />Do not know: do you mean dragging *in* the plane of the screen (like a HUD), or do you mean *parallel to* the plane of the screen, but at a fixed coordinate within the scenery?<br /><br />For first case here a little example of a rotary knob within a HUD, which was used to control some parameter of the scene (not shown here).<br /><br /><Transform DEF='HudTransform'><br /> <Switch DEF='KnobSwitch'><br /> <Transform DEF='KnobTransform'<br /> rotation='1 0 0 1.570796'<br /> translation='0.2 0.25 -1'><br /> <Transform DEF='KnobRotation'><br /> <Shape DEF='Knob'><br /> <Cylinder height='0.01' radius='0.05'/><br /> <Appearance><br /> <Material /><br /> <ImageTexture url='"knob.jpg"' /><br /> </Appearance><br /> </Shape><br /> </Transform><br /> <CylinderSensor DEF='KnobCS' <br /> description='click and drag to rotate knob' <br /> minAngle='-1.570796' <br /> maxAngle='1.570796' <br /> diskAngle='1.570796' /><br /> <ROUTE fromField='rotation_changed' fromNode='KnobCS' <br /> toField='rotation' toNode='KnobRotation'/><br /> </Transform><br /> </Switch><br /></Transform><br /><ProximitySensor DEF='HudProximity' size='1000000 1000000 1000000' /><br /><ROUTE fromField='position_changed' fromNode='HudProximity' <br /> toField='translation' toNode='HudTransform' /><br /><ROUTE fromField='orientation_changed' fromNode='HudProximity' <br /> toField='rotation' toNode='HudTransform' /><br /><br />Should be easy to change from cylinder sensor to plane sensor<br /><br />Hope it helps :)<br />Christoph<br /><br /><blockquote type="cite">

Does anyone know of a way to drag something (like using a PlaneSensor) <br />such that the result is being able to drag an object in the plane of the <br />screen, no matter the orientation?<br /><br />I would have thought putting a drag sensor into a billboard <br />(camera-facing) would get me close, but it's got problems. So I'm <br />looking for a script or proto that can accomplish this. Or any tips on <br />extensions like Device or Mouse sensor. Any platform, any player. Thanks<br /><br />Dave A.<br /><br />_______________________________________________<br />X3D-Public mailing list<br />X3D-Public@web3d.org<br />http://web3d.org/mailman/listinfo/x3d-public_web3d.org<br /></blockquote>
