Cursor drawing itself in World Editor, Infinite Loop?

by Steven B · in Torque Game Engine · 11/29/2004 (2:18 pm) · 3 replies

When I hit F11 and the editor opens I don't have to do anything and I can see the mouse cursor drawing itself over and over like it is in an Infinite Loop. If I move the mouse on the mouse pad I will just keep drawing a line of thousands of cursors on the screen.

Is there a file that I can check for this.

Computer has geforce 420mx with the latsest updates for opengl and directx.

I have been trying to solve this problem for over ten days now.

I've done everything I can do as far as my machine goes. I don't think it has anything to do with my computer.

I have to get past this problem, the engine is useless with this problem.

Sounds to me like you've done changes to your game, and at that point no one can say what's wrong if you don't give a bit more information.

Now, the mouse looks repeated.. like in a infinite loop, you say?
Are there any problems with the TScontrol behind it?
Maybe you're not refreshing the canvas correctly?

The only thing I did when I first got torgue was add a hud clock and a button and make
another button hide in the starter.fps
I have since cleaned and built it again and still have the same exact problem.

Also the racing kit won't run, I get a blank screen with a blinking caret and a filled square for a mouse cursor. Pressing Alt+Enter doesn't
help it just restarts it with the same result.

I am using the tutorial.base and I just went back to starter.fps and the same cursor problem is there.

Hit the tilde key and look for any console errors.
