Activating Camera movement (with Cursor On) by a mouse button.

by Robert Pierce · in Torque Game Engine · 05/29/2005 (4:06 pm) · 4 replies

I have been trying to get basic MMO like functionality into the RPG I am working on.

I have most MMO like features in the RPG I am working on, the only exception being mouse button activated mouse movement.

I am trying to avoid any C++ coding for the moment. The methods I have been trying (push()-ing action maps) don't really work at the moment (since when the cursor is on, all mouse events are handled by the GUI system).

So, what I am asking, how would I go about activating camera control by (holding) the right mouse button.

I apologize for any errors in this post as I have two young ones jumping on me trying to get me to play with them.

Okay, so does anyone happen to have any ideas at the moment?

You are going to have to get up to speed on the move input processing, and probably take a look at how move events are captured and modified (via any accelerators). The functionality you want isn't necessarily difficult, but there are a wide variety of issues that may pop up--one of which off the top of my head will be clicking through any GUI objects that may be on the screen.

I robert,
were you able to get anywhere with this feature? I have a similar thing to do, was wondering if you got some good starting points.

You could set the CurosrOff() when they press the button, and then CursorOn() when they release the button.
