Isn;t the "mouse.pos" just 2D. Not 3d, so it doesn't relate to any position on the actually 3d world?

EG. - Mouse pos could be 520, 370 x and y respoectively right?

BUT I want the "tank" to move to a position on the map say 530, 200, 70.. x, y and z respively..

I thought there was a command called mouse_to_level.. but I can't find it in the manual.

Anyway... my answer is - "I don't know".

look at stratego on AUM2
http://www.gameresource.de/aum/aum2/english/aum2/index.html

temp.X = MOUSE_POS.X;
temp.Y = MOUSE_POS.Y;
temp.Z = camera_height;
vec_for_screen (temp, CAMERA); // temp holds pointer's coords now
MY.SKILL12 = temp.X; // store pointer's coords before they get lost
MY.SKILL13 = temp.Y;

Taken from Stratego

The problem with this is that the 3rd co-ordinate, is taken from the cameras height. Which means the camera has to be facing downwards.. I think..

I just don't see howit can be converted to make a game like say... Sacrifice.
