Hi guys,

I am using Away3D 4.0 for my new project and I don’t have a lot of experience with it yet.

I want to make a shooter game with a 3D gun, so I imported a max file using your tutorial with awd files (works like a charm).

Then I used your Starling, Away3D, Starling layer tutorial to make the right layers in one Stage3D instance. Also works fine.

Then I wanted to do the movement of the gun, so I placed the gun inside a container which is inside of another container (away3D containers). Until so far, no problem.

But than I wanted to make some gun smoke once you have shot. So I need to know the position of the end of the gun in 2D coords. I placed a simple cube on that position, so I can try to track that position.

Then I looked on the internet for all kinds of solutions, but none works for me. Does anyone here has a clue of what to do?

Cheers,
Marc from Holland

Just use the project() method of your camera to project the scenePosition of your cube (or whatever you have at the end of the gun’s barrel.) The X and Y components of the returned vector will be the screen position.
