As it states in the title: how can I do that?

Here a PG, I got 2 boxes to which an actionManager is attached, I’ve set the camera in the right position so you’ll see the unwanted effect quickly

Hello!

I would recommend to simplify the repro because there are too many not required info 🙂

I’m not sure to understand what is the problem with that PG

I think this sort of gets you there.

Looks like `scene.meshUnderPointer` does not take in to account if there is another mesh in the way.

What I did was just do a simple `scene.pick` at where the mouse is currently at and check to see if the hit mesh is what is currently under the cursor. There are likely better ways to do this though.
