Hey Daevid if you're interested in looking a bit more into the player internals, then the drw package inside core is where all drawprimitives are stored. The mouseevent3d uses two methods here contains(x, y) and getZ(x, y). with these to functions, you are able to determine a) which drawing primitves are under the mouse, and b) what the z coordinate is (the z-depth between the camera and the surface of the drawprimitive under the mouse).
