Odd Behavior

Can anyone possibly shed light on what’s going on here?

I have an EventSystem that takes in mouseEventEntity’s that at the least have a ScreenPointComponent which holds a Vector3 position which gets the Input.mousePosition.

    public void Initialize()
    {
        dragEntityGroup = inputContext.GetGroup(InputMatcher.AnyOf(
            InputMatcher.DragSelectionMouseButtonDown,
            InputMatcher.DragSelectionMouseButtonHeld
        ));
    }

    protected override void Execute(List<InputEntity> entities)
    {
       InputEntity mouseEventEntity = entities.SingleEntity();
       ScreenPointComponent mousePosition = new ScreenPointComponent();
       mousePosition.position = mouseEventEntity.screenPoint.position;

in the above code and proceeding

//example
if (mouseEventEntity.isLeftMouseButtonHeld
&& !mouseEventEntity.isLeftMouseButtonDown)
    {
    if (dragEntity.hasDragSelectionMouseButtonHeld)
    {
        dragEntity.ReplaceDragSelectionMouseButtonHeld(mousePosition);

if I dont specifically instantiate and set mousePosition as a new ScreenPointComponent and instead use mouseEventEntitiy.screenPoint the results are very odd:

• using mousePosition = new ScreenPointComponent GOOD
• using mouseEventEntitiy.screenpoint BAD

again the only dfference is the first (desired) example creates a new Entity and assigns it an existing component and the second uses the existing component. You can see it lags behind the cursor greatly especially at lower speeds.

Thanks for any assistance!

I will see who added this example project and will let him/her know
