Hello.

If you have an object, you can use the following:
var object_name = m_scenes.get_object_name(obj);

var x = m_mouse.get_coords_x(e);
var y = m_mouse.get_coords_y(e);

var obj = m_scenes.pick_object(x, y);
console.log(obj);

Gives null value and it does not give object inside the muse x and y

and reason ? or how can solve ?

Hello.

Be sure that your object is selectable:

Also, I noticed that you use m_mouse.enable_mouse_hover_outline. You should enable the "Enable outlining" property:

Appreciate Mr Roman Sementsov,

It's working now,I understood and you have explained well.

i am making anything, but i am having some difficulties on node logics editor.

Hello everyone, I have a problem I believe you can help me:
I want when selecting an object, change a numeric variable with the value that represents this object that was clicked.
I want to move only this object that has been selected to another position, I hope to move each object to a certain place where it will be clicked on this place so that it will be taken the position for this place that was clicked, since it will move to this place only the object that Is selected.

Have you tried the "Move To" node?
I uploaded an example for you. See attached items below (little paper clip icons).

Also it is hard to answer your question because you posted in many places on this forum.
If you go to the Newbie Question area you will see a link at the bottom to "Create New Topic" down at the bottom of the page. Then you can make your own topic posted in just one place

Hi!

Unfortunately, there is no way to store a selected object somehow via logic nodes. Like Will said you can use the "Move To" node (and the "Transform Object" node too) but you can't pass an arbitrary object into it - the node works only with the object initially specified in Blender.

Have you seen this demo: Cartoon Interior - it was made with pure JavaScript and without logic nodes. It requires some coding skills to make something like that, but your task seems to be less complicated. We also have tutorials for this demo - here's the link: link.
