Where Art thy Mouse

by Jason Darby · in iTorque 2D · 04/29/2010 (1:11 pm) · 4 replies

Ok so I am building my game to make the DSO's which means loading my game into TGB... but anyway the mouse cursor disappears and i cannot even click in the same location as the press button object to move to the next screen to generate the DSO's

Anyone got any advice, in 1.2 i am pretty sure that even though i couldnt see the mouse i could still click... now in TGB i cannot...

So is there another way to make the DSO's that is quick and easy?

Thanks

    Hi Jason, look for "hideCursor".

    I have this in main.cs - also there is a reference in levelManagement.cs in common/scripts, around about line 35

    ...
function initializeProject()
{
	//hideCursor();

...

    Also, WRT to the DSO files - I'm still not sure of the correct procedure, but this is what I do for deployment to the iPhone.

    - delete all .dso files
    - build to iPhone in xCode
    - run the game on the iPhone

    Apparently 1.3 can run the scripts without requiring the DSO files. However, you do end up shipping your source .cs files.

    Hey Scott

    Seriously Garage should employ you or something :)

    Thanks for the advice on the mouse, it was the levelManagement.cs file that was causing the issue.

    Yeah, now i have the mouse i can build the DSO's, so thats better for me i think than putting all the cs files on the phone (not that i am worried about my code to be honest, i just think it would run slightly faster... but soon see)

    Anyway, thanks yet again.
