pickpoint problem in 3dsmax9

Submitted by sergo on Thu, 2007-05-03 04:02

Bumped into a strange problem with pickpoint() function in max9 - function
doesn't return picked point's coordinate if some mouse movement occurs
during picking.
If
you press the mouse button then move the mouse and release button
pickpoint doesn't return any value - like I've never picked any point.
In max8 everything works fine - pickpoint() returns coordinates of a
point where mouse button has been released.

Thank you for reply,

Thank you for reply, surfoos!
I didn't think that it may be the problem of the graphic card. I'll do tests tomorrow at work with different drivers and on the professional graphic card.
But it's something strange anyway - in max8 everything works fine!

I have had the same problem.

I have had the same problem. I use it in a simple script like this:

CenterPoint = pickPoint snap:#3D
HitSphere = sphere prefix:"HitFromTest" pos: CenterPoint

..and it takes 2 to 6 clicks to get it it make one sphere. Very frustrating (especially when i am trying to create a 100 spheres).

I have tried the same code on three computers, each with a different graphic card. It works fine on one of them (one click picking); works poorly on the other two more expensive computers (requires multiple clicks, no matter how steady the mouse).
