Can't use mouse buttons with cursor on? (tgea)

#1 I've been reading around, and other people have been looking for the answer to this question. No answer yet. From what I've seen, when the cursor is on, the gui takes control of processing mouse input so it can move the cursor and click on buttons etc in the gui interface. Apparently, after the mouse input is processed with the cursor on, it isn't used to trigger any of the functions in the bindings (default.bind.cs). What I want is a way for the mouse input to be processed both by the gui as it does when the cursor is on, and also to be processed normally when the cursor is off, so i can use my functions in default.bind.cs . Any idea how to go about doing this?

#2 You presumptions are spot on.

You're going to need access to the source code to alter the default behaviour of the mouse and GUI's, can't do it via script.

#3 I first came across this situation when I was implementing the P5 Glove Resource (which is a great resource for learning how to implement 3rd party SDKs and figuring out Torque input systems).

For some reason, I was getting in game input (turning, shooting, etc), but anything GUI or cursor related just didn't work right.

So both Dean and Tim are correct. To add input response with a cursor on, you have to modify the engine. I can't go into detail since this is a public forum, but I can tell you it's quite easy to get set up.

#4 After sorting through code for a while, I figured it out. I added some code to the engine that lets both mouse movement and mouse clicks trigger the key bindings while the cursor is on. I also figured out how to show the cursor when you're in cursoroff mode, but i dont think i'll use it. woohoo :P

#5 I made a resource for this here:

It's my first resource, so if you have time, I'd like some feedback :)
