This will be better, as it returns the closet vertex to the pick, rather than you having to click on one exactly.

function pickedVertex()
local sd#=999999,srf
local vert,v,tri
    srf=pickedSurface()
    tri=pickedTriangle()
    for v=0 to 2
        vert=triangleVertex(srf,tri)
        xd#=vertexX(srf,vert)-pickedX()
        yd#=vertexY(srf,vetr)-pickedY()
        zd#=vertexZ(srf,vert)-pickedZ()
        td#=sqr(xd*xd+yd*yd+zd*zd)
        if td<sd
            sd=td
            rVert=vert
        endif
    next
    return rVert
end function

Another cheaper way for mouse click, would be to project each vert into screen space(cameraproject) and then just do a quick distance check from screen coords to mouse coords...no idea if it'll be any quicker.
