I think the Roblox Mouse cursor may have been changed to run on lua recently, and the ray it draws to see what you’re clicking maxes out at 2,000 studs.
Repro: Move a part 3,000 studs away from the camera and try clicking it. You can’t anymore. You have to do this awkward click+drag to hopefully select the correct part within the selection rectangle.
You’re right.
I think it’s around 2048 studs though
Can reproduce this but as @TheAmazeman said, it seems to be around 2048 studs. I noticed I was having to do the click+drag selection a lot more recently, but as I was working on something new I couldn’t really compare it to the old behaviour.
Was there a cap before? Am I wrong or isn’t this a performance optimization?
I believe there was a cap before, but a considerably larger one. It may be a performance optimization, but I’d prefer having the option to increase the cap even if it meant a slight performance decrease.
i think its to prevent potentially unwanted selections if you’re on a really big map, if you click on what appears to be sky (render distance, parts popped out?)
Render distance is 50x the click distance.
