I must be very tired because the solution completely eludes me The Spring.GetProjectilesInRectangle ( number xmin, number zmin, number xmax, number zmax ...) function takes a rectangle as input. How do I determine the rectangle of the map in view? I tried with TraceScreenRay, but I cant make it work properly for rotated cameras. Any suggestions/previous implementations greatly appreciated.
Hmm, well Spring.TraceScreenRay works for me, are you passing a "true" parameter to only use ground? You may need to use max/min width/height if it goes off the screen.
Also, it doesn't work with water - it will hit the seabed instead of the waves, but according to jk you can use camera to recalculate that (I haven't done it yet so can't supply code):

[02:12] <[LCC]jK> you can recalc waterpos from tracescreenray [02:13] <[LCC]jK> with Spring.GetCameraDirection() [02:14] <[LCC]jK> it won't be 100% exact cause tracescreenray use a perscreenpixel direction, but it will give sane results
think it may be a problem if you're using corners, try this instead.
Code:
at, b=Spring.TraceScreenRay(sx / 2,0,true,false,false) --bottom if at=='ground' then y2=math.min(y2, b[3]) end at, t=Spring.TraceScreenRay(sx / 2,sy-1,true,false,false) -- top if at=='ground' then y1=math.max(y1, t[3]) end at, l=Spring.TraceScreenRay(0,sy / 2,true,false,false) -- left if at=='ground' then x1=math.max(x1, l[1]) end at, t=Spring.TraceScreenRay(sx-1,sy / 2,true,false,false) --right if at=='ground' then x2=math.min(x2, t[1]) end
