Picking ray issue on mobile devices (caused by hardware scaling)

[demonixis 3]

Hi guys!

 

Since the last update I've an issue with babylon.js and picking ray.

 

Here is my code: 

var ray = _scene.createPickingRay(event.clientX, event.clientY);

It works as expected on PC but not on mobile. For having this method working I need to remove Hardware Scaling support in viewport object and in createPickingRay method.

 

So with this hack it's works :

// babylon.scene.jsScene.prototype.createPickingRay = function (x, y, world, camera) {      // Code      return BABYLON.Ray.CreateNew(x, y, viewport.width, viewport.height, world ? world : BABYLON.Matrix.Identity(), camera.getViewMatrix(), camera.getProjectionMatrix());};//  babylon.math.jsViewport.prototype.toGlobal = function (engine) {        var width = engine.getRenderWidth();        var height = engine.getRenderHeight();        return new Viewport(this.x * width, this.y * height, this.width * width, this.height * height);};

My test has been done on a Nexus 7 (latest chrome and Android) and Nexus 4 (latest chrome and Android). Have you an idea about this issue ?

I think a related issue is, on a desktop browser like IE11, if you change the browser scale settings to something other than 100% (using Ctrl+ or Settings/Zoom), then picking ray fails there as well.

 

So this might be a general issue with scaling and pick ray?

I do not have this issue with ie11 when using let's say 125%

Ok you're right! It is due to how I compute the width/height right now

I'll fix it
