GetClickSide
Gets the side of the component clicked on, 0 to 5 
- BYTE Return


Detailed description

This call retrieves the face of the bounding box intersected by the mouse. This is always the closest face to the screen.

Face numbers

The faces of the bounding box are ordered according to the following table:

Face Position
0 XY plane, Z=-1
1 YZ plane, X=-1
2 XZ plane, Y=-1
3 XZ plane, Y=1
4 YZ plane, X=1
5 XY plane, Z=1

Each face, when added to the opposite face on the cube, adds up to 5 (so each YZ face = 1 + 4 = 5).


Examples

Calling in a calculation

  • Declare a variable 'result' of type BYTE
  • Add to a calculation icon:
