getFrontPosition() do not see good value

[Dad72]

Hello,

getFrontPosition() do not see good value, because if I create an object that must be 10 units forward on the Z axis relative to the camera's position that is a -10, the object should be at position 0 on the Z axis and should not move on the Y axis. Now the object has moved 18 units in front on the Z axis and has dropped 13 units on the Y axis.

Something is not good. I realize that this bug has existed for a long time.

There was two issues:

- camera's target is by default on 0,0,0. In your case you want to set it up to 0,7,0

-Because no rendering occured, you need to force the camera to have its value updated manually with camera.getWorldmatrix()

Why not add  camera.getWorldmatrix () in getFrontPosition () Otherwise I have to use camera.getWorldmatrix() as soon as we create a camera for each project.

Thanks DK

Because if you are doing it after at least one rendering you don't need it anymore

But you are right: it is not obvious! I'll fix it for next commit

Yes I understand, thanks for fixing it.

And for this bug, is there a possible repair ?
