Mouse overs?

by Collins College Student (#0008) · in Torque Game Engine · 04/09/2008 (9:44 pm) · 2 replies

I am working on a project for school and I have run into a little snag due to inexperience as a programmer. What I want to do is very basic; I want the user to walk around the game and be able to mouse over objects that I have created such as sinks, table, chairs, etc. When the object has been moused over, the user will see a message box that will contain a couple of lines of text as well as several thumbnails of the object with different textures applied to it. That is really all I need and I am pretty sure that it is very basic, but right now I do not have enough time to learn Torquescript. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could direct me to a tutorial that will help me out or perhaps create a tutorial for me. It would REALLY help me out. Thanks

Hi, ill bite

the reason why probably no one has replied is, that the mouse over thing is actually right now one of the biggest seeked features. many people icluding myself are trying to develop code that will enable mouse/content interaction but right now ppl willing to share have made little progress and companies that have it working dont want to share.

u can check from time to time, just wanted to let u know

Move all the code in GameTSCtrl::onMouseDown to GameTSCtrl::onMouseMove
