KinematicBody click event

ozmosis

Hi! I need a KinematicBody response to a click mouse, as I understand this is possible if the node has selected the property Input ray pickable and the function input_event

My problems is nothing happen when click over the KinematicBody, there is not a call to the function, I' don't know if I missing something.

My treenode is:

-KinematicBody
      |__ MeshInstance
      |__CollisionShape

The script has implemented the function input_event connected with a signal from the Editor.

Is this possible to do or I need to change the type of the node?

Thanks!

extends KinematicBody

func _ready():
	self.connect("input_event", self, "_on_input_event")

func _on_input_event(camera, event, click_position, click_normal, shape_idx):
	if event is InputEventMouseButton:
		print("clicked")

You have to check as well which MouseButton it is.

I already try this but still doesn't work. Could be necessary add an Area node to catch the event?

I found this, is the same but in 2D, not fixed yet

I'm using Godot 3.1.1

Thanks

No extra action needed, just to make it clear: You have as well assigned a CollisionShape as a child node, right? Also take care that input_ray_pickable property of KinematicBody is TRUE

Doesn't seem to work for me either. I'm using this code, which works but seems like overkill. I'm also on 3.1.1.

# cast a ray from camera at mouse position, and get the object colliding with the ray
func get_object_under_mouse():
	var mouse_pos = get_viewport().get_mouse_position()
	var ray_from = $Camera.project_ray_origin(mouse_pos)
	var ray_to = ray_from + $Camera.project_ray_normal(mouse_pos) * RAY_LENGTH
	var space_state = get_world().direct_space_state
	var selection = space_state.intersect_ray(ray_from, ray_to)
        return selection

Sorry, I literally just woke up so I might be completely wrong on this but isn't there a missing if statement from somewhere in there..?
