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
  • Return objects from events based extensions 4ian/GDevelop#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.
