A little help about translation gizmo

Questions

Hello, I’m currently working on a project where I need to know, once a translation axis has been selected, which one it is if you push or pull it. Would you know how to do this?
thanks for your help

Hello :slight_smile:

Having a look at the doc, I found out that you can actually use observables for each axis :

gizmoManager.gizmos.positionGizmo.xGizmo.dragBehavior.onDragStartObservable
gizmoManager.gizmos.positionGizmo.yGizmo.dragBehavior.onDragStartObservable
gizmoManager.gizmos.positionGizmo.zGizmo.dragBehavior.onDragStartObservable

ha cool! but I can’t tell if I’m going one way or the other?

I’d like to be able to use the same principle as this ticket:

to know if I’m going one way it gives me -1 and the other +1

4 
gizmoManager.gizmos.positionGizmo.xGizmo.dragBehavior.onDragObservable.add((evt)=>{
        console.log(evt.dragDistance > 0 ? '+1' : '-1')
})
5

AND that’s what you need.

+1 is that you go forward or to the right or up depending on the chosen axis.

-1 means that you go backwards or to the left or down depending on the chosen axis.

You can also look at the position values ​​if they go towards + or - when you move the model
