Three Js, Get The Vector3 That Pointerlockcontrolsi S Facing

Wondering if it's possible to get the way the yaw object in pointer lock controls is facing and use that as a direction for a raycaster. I've been toying around with the code, tryi

Solution 1:

Add the following to your copy of PointerLockControls ( or wait a few days for the next release):

this.getDirection = function() {

    // assumes the camera itself is not rotated

    var direction = new THREE.Vector3( 0, 0, -1 );
    var rotation = new THREE.Euler( 0, 0, 0, "YXZ" );

    return function( v ) {

        rotation.set( pitchObject.rotation.x, yawObject.rotation.y, 0 );

        v.copy( direction ).applyEuler( rotation );

        return v;

    }

}();

three.js r.59

Solution 2:

Well, with the new Version it do not work. I have to add

var v = new THREE.Vector3( 0, 0, -1 );

before

v.copy( direction ).applyEuler( rotation );

because Firefox do not recognize v.
