Getting mouse position for object selection

Hi,

i have implemented the advanced camera + object selection from 2 tutorials available here in this website..

my question is: the object selection im using is ready for picking objects on first person mode by doing this:

%player = %client.player;
%eye = %player.getEyeVector();
%vec = vectorScale( %eye, %selectRange );


// startPoint = the player's eye position
// endPoint = startPoint + length of selectable range
%startPoint = %player.getEyeTransform();
%endPoint = VectorAdd( %startPoint, %vec );

%exempt = 0;
if ($selectedObj) %exempt = $selectedObj;

%object = ContainerRayCast( %startPoint, %endPoint, %searchMasks, %player, %exempt );


i am able to get the camera postion from the advanced camera, but i now need to know the mouse position to be able to raycast the world and find colliding objects..

im sould be using godview or track camera mode

anyone ?
