Dragging an Object in 3D Space

Help & Support

Almost!

A couple of changes needed.

  1. Use the pc.Plane (https://github.com/playcanvas/engine/blob/master/src/shape/plane.js) shape rather than the pc.BoundingBox as mentioned above otherwise your intersection point will be in a very different place
  2. You need to calculate the vector from box to the intersection point and then project that onto the object’s forward (-Z) axis to get the distance to move it by

I’ve forked your project with the changes made which should help:
