How to Map Yaw and Pitch in Left Mouse Button

by TigerHeros · in Torque 3D Professional · 06/08/2010 (2:14 am) · 5 replies

Hi All

I want to show my cursor in the Torque 3d. I modified this statement " noCursor = "1"; " into " noCursor = "0"; " in the playGui.gui. So, now I have my cursor showing in my game. However, this bring in a new problem:

moveMap.bind( mouse, xaxis, yaw );

moveMap.bind( mouse, yaxis, pitch );

the two statements above will take no effect any more.

How can I toggle(map) my Left mouse with yaw/pitch while the cursor is showing.

Need I modify the ENGINE?

When you make the cursor visible, the input system cannot receive mouse inputs. You can probably use GUIs to call the yaw() and pitch() functions, however.

Place a GuiMouseEventCtrl over your PlayGui, and use the onMouseDown(), onMouseUp() and onMouseDragged() callbacks to control the view. GuiMouseEventCtrl will send 3 arguments to its callbacks: modifier ($EventModifier::LSHIFT, $EventModifier::RSHIFT, etc), GUI-relative mouse position and number of clicks (so you can detect double-clicks).

You can store the position in onMouseDown(), and on each call to onMouseDragged() you check how much the mouse has moved and call yaw() and pitch() accordingly.

Could this work if you moved the buttons around?

@Manoel Thank You for you reply .

$ForwardKeyDown = 0;

function checkLeftMouseDown(%val)
{
if (%val)
{
if (Canvas.getMouseControl().getName() $= "PlayGui")
{

if (!$ForwardKeyDown)
$mvForwardAction = %val * $movementSpeed;
$LeftMouseDown = 1;
}
}
else
{
if (!$ForwardKeyDown)
{
moveForward(0);
}
else
{
$MouseDragged = 0;
canvas.cursorOn();
Canvas.setCursorPos($LastCursorPos);
}
$LeftMouseDown = 0;
}
}

when i have clicked the left mouse button i am receiving the following error.

Unable to find Object '0' attempting to call function 'getName'

if (Canvas.getMouseControl().getName() $= "PlayGui")

The above code does not take effect.

whats wrong in the code.
