Interactive captions

[Mason_Rocchio]

How would I make it so if the player is looking at a certain entity and the right mouse button is pressed a caption shows at the bottom of the screen. But if the player is not looking at it, or the right mouse button is released the caption will hide.

Hi @Mason_Rocchio! Do you make a first person game? If that’s the case you can probably use visibleThisFrame to check if the player is looking at the entity. Please check the topic below how to use this.

[SOLVED] Check Visibilty of Entity in the camera View

Hey! I am developing a bike racing game in which i want to destroy the objects which are left behind as bike moves forward. I was wondering if i can do it using any constraint of camera field of view or viewPoint?

var MeshVisScript = pc.createScript('meshVisScript');

MeshVisScript.prototype.initialize = function() {
 
    this.app.scene.layers.getLayerByName("World").onPostCull = (cameraIndex) => {
        var entity = this.app.root.findByName("Box");
        var meshInstance = entity.model.model.meshInstances[0];
        console.log("visible: " + meshInstance.visibleThisFrame);
    }
};

How would I add it so the text shows when i look at it

I did something similar in the post below. (Not exactly what to use, but to point you in the right direction). I assume you’ve already learned to use some basics like findByName and enabled?

[SOLVED] Problem with using 'visibleThisFrame'

I used the forum topics to set it up, and it’s working when the entity is outside the screen but not when the entity is behind another entity. [image] // Set visibility this.app.scene.layers.getLayerByName("World").onPostCull = (cameraIndex) => { if (this.target.model.meshInstances[0].visibleThisFrame) { this.entity.element.enabled = false; } else { this.entity.element.enabled = true; } };
