How does CS mouse over/select a road segment?

[SirChick 184]

I'm trying to find the method they use where you can mouse over a road segment (or node) and it selects the correct one. 

Does any one know where that method is ? Tried to follow it from Bulldoze but I couldn't see any particular area of the code which showed them looking for segment by mouse point in world. 

Hope some one can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

No idea how it works or how to use it but it's ToolBase.RayCast

What Ronys69 said.

BulldozeTool inherits from DefaultTool. Look at DefaultTool.SimulationStep to see how to use raycasting.

I'm not sure what you want to do. If you want to make your own tool, you can probably just extend DefaultTool and implement Get...IgnoreFlags() and OnToolGUI()

Well i'm writing my own road mod but needed to know how the mouse selected them. Will take a look at the function, thanks.
