onMouseDown Help! [Resolved]

#1 Try:

sceneWindow2D.setUseMouseEvents( true );

#2 That line I already tried if you look again at the above JS would it matter if there is a space in there?

the line

sceneWindow2d.setUseMouseEvents(true); is right under the hide cursor or canvas.hidecursor();

Does there have to be a keybind set up for it or should it just work?

#3 The line you have and the one I posted are different.

That should activate the mouse events on the scene window, then the callback should work. No need to do a bind.

#4 Noticed you didn't have setUseWindowMouseEvents(true);
the line after I posted

The log shows this as an Error.

sceneWindow2d.setUseMouseEvents(true);

game/gameScripts/game.cs (23): Unknown command setUseMouseEvents.
Object sceneWindow2D(1316) sceneWindow2D -> t2dSceneWindow -> GuiControl -> SimGroup -> SimSet -> SimObject

#5 hmm... interesting. I've had trouble with the method not working sometimes and had to use the field acces like so:

sceneWindow2D.useWindowMouseEvents = true;

or
sceneWindow2D.useObjectMouseEvents = true;

#6 None of those work either.

But no script errors either.

#7 Are you sure that sceneWindow2D is valid where you're setting the mouse events?

#8

function startGame(%level)
{
   Canvas.setContent(mainScreenGui);
   Canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor);
   new ActionMap(moveMap);
  Canvas.hideCursor();  
  sceneWindow2D.setUseWindowMouseEvents(true);  
    moveMap.push();
   $enableDirectInput = true;
   activateDirectInput();
   enableJoystick();
   sceneWindow2D.loadLevel(%level);   
   Canvas.pushdialog(splash);  
    
}

This is where I have it calling from I have no idea where to find out if it's valid.

#9 I don't think it will be since you're loading the level after you're telling it to use mouse events.

#10 even if i put it after loading the level it still doesn't do anything.

#11 I suggest you place that in the onlevelloaded callback.

#12 I don't have an onlevelloaded callback

the startgame is a default.

#13 http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TGB/Behaviors/Callbacks#onLevelLoaded

#14 I read it but really no idea how to use it.

Tried the following

function scene2dWindow::onLevelLoaded()
{
sceneWindow2D.useWindowMouseEvents = true;  
}

The screen went entirely blank and all my game components where gone.

Btw Thanks for trying to help anyways. I can always just stick to the keybinds being they actually work.

#15 Hi Neal,

try this:

function t2dSceneWindow::onMouseDown(%this, %modifier, %worldPos, %mouseClicks)
{
shoot();
}

#16 Hi Neal,

try this:

function t2dSceneWindow::onMouseDown(%this, %modifier, %worldPos, %mouseClicks)
{
shoot();
}

#17 Amjad Yahya I tried that as well it doesn't work.

#18 Add this somewhere and see what happens. It just echos to log, so you shouldn't see anything on screen.

function sceneWindow2D::onMouseDown(%this, %a, %b, %c)
{
    echo(" -- onMouseDown " @ %a @ " " @ %b @ " " @ %c);
}

#19 I added that function and nothing showed up in the log.

#20 Cleaned up the code abit and it shouldn't be this hard to do a mouse bind.
