OnRightMouseDown but no OnLeftMouseDown?

by Rob Segal · in Torque Game Builder · 08/19/2006 (3:30 pm) · 2 replies

Why is there a function t2dSceneWindow::OnRightMouseDown but no t2dSceneWindow::OnLeftMouseDown? The OnLeftMouseDown function seems to be handled by t2dSceneWindow::OnMouseDown. Any particular reason for this GG guys? I just found it a bit confusing discovering this.

It's really not that confusing, although such things are always subjective. :)

You could always just add your own "left" versions of the functions in game.cs if you're concerned about consistency. You'd want to do this for sceneWindow2D and t2dSceneObject:

function sceneWindow2D::onLeftMouseDown(%this, %modfier, %worldPosition, %clicks)
{
   %this.onMouseDown(%modifier, %worldPosition, %clicks);
}

function sceneWindow2D::onLeftMouseDragged(%this, %modfier, %worldPosition, %clicks)
{
   %this.onMouseDragged(%modifier, %worldPosition, %clicks);
}

function sceneWindow2D::onLeftMouseUp(%this, %modfier, %worldPosition, %clicks)
{
   %this.onMouseUp(%modifier, %worldPosition, %clicks);
}

That's true I could add my own so thanks for that suggestion. And yes that's true it is personal preference. In my mind it makes sense to have a "left" and "right" but I'm not designing the API so I don't get to make those decisions.
