How to detect touch on 3D objects in the scene

⚠️ for it to work correctly, the object must have some type of collision ⚠️

In your Java class, do the following:

public class YourClass extends Component {

    // creates a new Laser
    private final Laser laser = new Laser();

    // creates a new Camera, @Singleton attaches the first Camera component it finds in the scene
    @Singleton
    private Camera camera;

    @Override
    public void start() {
        
    }

    @Override
    public void repeat() {
        
        // checking whether the first touch detected on the screen is null and returning the code if it is true
        if(Input.getTouch(0) == null) return;
        
        //  Vector2 responsible for storing the position of the first touch detected on the screen
        Vector2 position = Input.getTouch(0).getPosition();
        
        // the direction of the ray that will be fired from the camera at the position of the "position" variable
        RayDirection rayDirection = camera.screenPointRay(position);
        
        // the ray that will be fired
        Ray ray = new Ray(rayDirection, 0);
        
        // the laser collision point
        LaserHit laserHit = laser.trace(ray);
        
        // checking if laserHit is non-null
        if(laserHit != null) {

            // showing the name of the object that the laser detected in the terminal if the conditional is true
            Console.log("The detected object was: " + laserHit.getObject().getName());
        }
    }
}
