Hi there, So it seems that when the pointer moves, the `PickingInfo.hit` always resolves to `false`. This is a bit weird… or maybe it’s deisgned like that for optimisation? But since `scene.onPointerMove` has `PickingInfo`, then I guess there is a way to use hit info on moving pointers? Can I configure it so I can detect hits with moving pointers? Here’s an example showing, that on moved pointer `PickingInfo.hit` is always `false`: > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#R8KSU6)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL 3D scenes ---

I believe this is caused by the lazy picking feature, is there a way to turn it off @PolygonalSun ? ---

I’m literally having the almost same issue right now, but with Havok raycasting 🤔 In this case, the raycast hits, but the result is not good, faulty body/transformNode and bodyIndex always 0. It worked perfectly good a few weeks back, so i am very confused ---

Huh, that is strange indeed… do you have a playground example so I can take a look? ---

By default, picking on move events doesn’t occur unless one of the following is true: - There is at least one ActionManager - `enablePointerMoveEvents` is true for a given mesh - `scene.constantlyUpdateMeshUnderPointer` is true When none of the above are true, the PickingInfo will just provide the default information (which is just a miss). This was done effectively as an optimization as picking requires a bit more computing effort. If you’re looking to get proper picking info during a move, I’d recommend trying one of the above-mentioned methods and that should get you the info that you’re looking for. ---

@carolhmj Sorry, it’s a rather complex setup, when i made a PG sample i did not reproduce. I kept digging and it turns out the ray started colliding with my character’s capsule body when moving the character or rotating the camera, i don’t know why, since the ray is offset to the right so it _shouldn’t_ cross paths with the capsule. Adding filtering should fix it, i have procrastinated that for a while now. ---

thx @PolygonalSun😄
