create a new objective when the player sees an object

I have used this script in my own mission, and am thankful it exists!

Have a technical question on how it works-
Because I couldn't get it to work with a texture object. Only "physics" rendered ones. Is there any reason why lineIntersectsSurfaces wouldn't work with texture objects?

My code is simplified with cursorObject. This works with many edited or terrain objects.

The lineIntersectsSurfaces works wit LODs. It's better if you want a specific point of intersect ... that doesn't matter here, especially if you aim to destroy the object.

 

So, what do you mean by texture object? Do you have a class name?

Ah, let me give context:

My mission has players investigating a crash site. They are supposed to find some blood on a tree. I simply placed a "user texture 1x1" object (classname: UserTexture1m_F ). Here's a picture:

(Note: the texture itself is a placeholder)

Since I am not interested in destroying the object, and I do want players looking at something in particular, I understand that I should use lineIntersectsSurfaces, yes?

I will admit it's a pain in the behind finding an object to call HOOKDEVICE (with LODs) that has a hiddenselection (so I can turn it invisible) that I can place behind my user texture. Anyone have a suggestion? 
Edit: answer is "VR objects".

Play with:

- the distance between player and your texture;

- add a "cone of visibility" returning true : 

getCameraViewDirection player vectordotProduct vectorNormalized (getpos hookdevice vectordiff getpos player) > 0.95
