Ignore mouse movement when interacting

[BoldBigflank]

I’m using a FreeCamera and onPointerObservable/POINTERDOWN events. Is there a way when I sucessfully pick a mesh with the mouse I want to interact with, to stop the freecamera from moving around for the duration of the click?

Yes, camera.detachControl()

See Babylon.js Playground

Oh that’s lovely. If I have redundant camera.attachControl(canvas, true) functions, it won’t have any negative effects, right? Or is there a way to check whether control has been detached before attaching again?

Check if controls attached to camera?

Hi There, I was trying to check if the controls are attached to the current camera, to be able to toggle controls on or off. export const CanvasControlToggleBtn = function (scene:Scene) { var advancedTexture = AdvancedDynamicTexture.CreateFullscreenUI("UI"); var button1 = Button.CreateSimpleButton("but1", "ON"); button1.width = "150px" button1.height = "40px"; button1.color = "white"; button1.cornerRadius = 20; button1.background = "green"; var attached = scene.…

This may help.
