Stop mouse event propagation [solved]

by Rpahut · in Torque Game Builder · 07/21/2010 (7:51 pm) · 2 replies

Hello!
How do I stop mouse event propagation after it was processed? I have some overlapping sprites on the scene, and I want nearest object only to receive mouse event - if I clicking an object, I want this particular object to react, not all objects at that point in the scene.

Instead of using mouse events on the objects, you can use mouse events on the scene window instead. Then, I use pickPoint to get a list of objects at the coordinates passed by the mouse event. The first object returned from pickPoint() is the top object and you can then a a function on that object to process the click.
