A-frame Cursor Listener On Sky Element Not Firing

I am trying to attach a cursor listener to a sky element (equirectangular image as texture mapped to sphere) in A-Frame. The ultimate goal is to get the 2D coordinates of the textu

Solution 1:

The soon-to-be-released version of A-Frame has fixes that will expose the cursor UV intersection data in the click event. https://github.com/aframevr/aframe/tree/master/dist . First I recommend grabbing that.

The sky is far away so you need to extend the maxDistance of the raycaster.

<a-entityraycaster="maxDistance: 6000; objects: a-sky"cursor></a-entity>
