Function DeProject, ScreenToWorld

[Chris2009]

Has anyone tried using the function DeProject?

I need to call this function or a function that can achieve ScreenToWorld calculations from within the PlayerController Class, would DeProject be the right function to use?

I tried using it and failed so far.

Canvas.Project is similar to WorldToScreen and Deproject is similar to ScreenToWorld. However, remember that it converts it the screen coordinates to a world plane coordinates which is parallel to the camera near plane. Thus, you can use a trace using the Origin and Direction that it calculates and the HitLocation the trace calculates would then be your world position.

This is currently what I use for my mouse code in Project Contrast.

Well I didn't get DeProject to work. I just wrote my own ScreenToWorld function.

My main problem was that I hadn't corretly grabbed the viewport size, and all my calculations were off.

Now I have 3D mouse selection.
