Mouse position problem

by Nir Ziso · in Torque Game Builder · 08/07/2006 (1:52 am) · 5 replies

I put an object in some place when I move the mouse on that object I made some script that tell me the mouse position of the cursor
The problem is that I get strange result of when the mouse is
For example my y object position is -16 and when I stand on the object at same height the mouse position is -21 instead of 16 why?
The camera is set to 100 75 and I use canvas coordinates

Where are you positioning the mouse? If you've set the object Y value to be -16, then move the mouse to the centre of the object. The mouse value should be around -16 (it may not be exact since the value is a float). If it doesn't, then type this in the console "echo(sceneWindow2d.getMousePosition())" and see what value is returned. If the value there is around -16, then your mouse co-ordinates script is wrong.
