I have set up a canvas renderer with two mesh (cubes) and I am trying to
in order to execute the appropriate method for it.capture the click event on each cube
Currently, I am able to capture the click event on the entire renderer, so when I click on cube1 or cube2, the click is treated as one event because it is bound to the renderer :)
My question is, how can I bind the click event separately to each cube?
Here is the relevant code snippet:
//dom
var containerPopUp=document.getElementById('popup');
//renderer
var rendererPopUp = new THREE.CanvasRenderer();
rendererPopUp.setSize(420,200);
containerPopUp.appendChild(rendererPopUp.domElement);
//Scene
var scenePopUp = new THREE.Scene();
//Camera
var cameraPopUp = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(50,60/60,1,1000);
cameraPopUp.position.z = 220;
cameraPopUp.position.y = 20;
//
scenePopUp.add(cameraPopUp);
//Add texture for the cube
//Use image as texture
var img2D = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ //CHANGED to MeshBasicMaterial
map:THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('img/2d.png')
});
img2D.map.needsUpdate = true; //ADDED
//Add Cube
var cubeFor2D = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.CubeGeometry(40,80,40),img2D);
cubeFor2D.position.x =- 60;
cubeFor2D.position.y = 20;
scenePopUp.add(cubeFor2D);
//
var img3D = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial({ //CHANGED to MeshBasicMaterial
map:THREE.ImageUtils.loadTexture('img/3d.png')
});
img3D.map.needsUpdate = true;
var cubeFor3D = new THREE.Mesh(new THREE.CubeGeometry(40,80,40),img3D);
cubeFor3D.position.x = 60;
cubeFor3D.position.y=20;
scenePopUp.add(cubeFor3D);
//
rendererPopUp.render(scenePopUp,cameraPopUp);
//
animate();
rendererPopUp.domElement.addEventListener('click',testCall,false);//Here the click event is bound on the whole renderer, means what ever object in the renderer is clicked, the testCall method is called.
In the code above, cubeFor2D and cubeFor3D are contained within the renderer. I need to bind the click event individually to each mesh. I attempted to achieve this using threex.domevent.js:
var meshes = {};
meshes['mesh1'] = cubeFor2D;
meshes['mesh1'].on('mouseover', function(event){
//response to click...
console.log('you have clicked on cube 2D');
});
However, this approach did not work, as I received an error in the console:
TypeError: meshes.mesh1.on is not a function
I made sure to include the API source code file:
<script src="threex.domevent.js"></script>
