Thank you for submitting this extension.

I have some concerns:

Using the Z position and the depth will only work for boxes that are not rotated.
- To handle models as a boxes, new expressions would need to be added to get the origin and center point of 3D models
- To handle rotation, it needs a bit of trigonometry.
Event-based conditions can't pick objects, for now, it needs a bit of JS
- https://github.com/4ian/GDevelop/pull/3163

In which use-cases do you see this extension being used? For projectiles or clicks, I guess a raycast would be a better fit.
