402 Chapter 12: Methods

modelList Optional. A list of model references that are included if they are found under the

specified ray. Model references not included in this list are ignored, even if they are under the

specified ray. Use the model references, not the string names of the models. Specify each model

you want to include. Adding a parent model reference does not automatically include its child

model references.

Example

This statement creates a list of ten models:

tModelList = [member("3D").model("foo"),member("3D").model[10]]

This statement builds a list of options that would return a maximum of ten models, include

simple detail, and draw results from

tModelList:

tOptionsList = [#maxNumberOfModels: 10, #levelOfDetail: #simple, #modelList:

tModelList]

After the options list is built, the first line in this handler translates the location of the cursor from

a point on the Stage to a point within sprite 5. The second line uses the

modelsUnderLoc

command to obtain the first three models found under that point. The third line displays the

returned information about the models in the message window.

-- Lingo syntax

on mouseUp

pt = the mouseLoc - point(sprite(5).left, sprite(5).top)

m = sprite(5).camera.modelsUnderLoc(pt, tOptionsList)

put m

end

// JavaScript syntax

function mouseUp() {

pt = _mouse.mouseLoc - point(sprite(5).left, sprite(5).top);

m = sprite(5).camera.modelsUnderLoc(pt, tOptionsList);

put(m);

}
