[Bf-committers] mouse pointer in blender

[Campbell Barton]

This is possible in 2.5x but I don't have any example script example
to show you.

You'll want to get the mouse pointer as a vector in 3D space, 2.4x had
a function for this which is property not hard to port see:
BPyWindow.py, mouseViewRay(...)
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/tags/blender-2.49b-release/release/scripts/bpymodules/BPyWindow.py

Then you can use obj.ray_cast, see:
