Mouse position in game lua

Question

How do you get mouse position in game world or relative to the screen?

Is it possible to get it as Vector3?

Specifically for lua.

Hey @REDACTEDUSER

Getting the mouse cursor position is not currently exposed to lua, but we'll add this as a request for a future release.

If it helps at all in the meantime, you can look at /dev/Code/CryEngine/CryAction/FlowSystem/Nodes/FlowMouseInfo.cpp for an example of how to get the mouse cursor position in C++, both relative to the screen (CFlowMouseCoordNode) and projected into the game world (CFlowMouseRayCast).

Hey @REDACTEDUSER

One year later..Do we have now the possibility to get mouse cursor position with Lua on 1.15 ?

We need it to raycast (at each click) a ray from mouse position and retrieve any entity hit by this ray.

Thanks in advance,

I am also interested in a tutorial or answer. Need entities in the game to be able to be inspected with hovering over them with a mouse cursor.
