1.7.2 getMousePosition() failure

by Vern Jensen · in Torque Game Builder · 08/27/2008 (2:58 pm) · 3 replies

If I call getMousePosition() at program start-up or right after changing from full-screen to windowed mode, it returns incorrect values. Just try doing this at program startup after everything is loaded:

echo(sceneWindow2D.getMousePosition() );

As soon as you move the mouse, it'll return the correct value from that point on, until you switch between full/screen and windowed, in which case the value is again incorrect until the cursor is moved.

I believe this is a bug that's been here since 1.3.

Oh, and this is on a Mac. And I've been unable to use sceneWindow2D.setMousePosition() to avoid the problem. (I thought that maybe getMousePosition() would return the correct position if I had just set it with setMousePosition, but the problem still exists.)

Vern, this doesn't happen on my PC. I'll add it to my list of bugs to verify on Mac and log it when I can.

Thanks boss

Thanks Phil. If you ever need me to send code snippets or anything like that, I'm happy to help.
