Using the mouse
 

Could somebody explain to me how the mouse wheel works and maybe give me a short example?

Re: Using the mouse
 

Well I suggest you start by reading your Newfeatures2002.txt in your Graal folder, it briefly explains the mousewheel and gives a small example on what is needed. If that don't help much, just PM me and I'll give you an example.

If you are lazy

- the script functions for accessing the mouse are now
available in the game, some new functions have been added:
- mouse variables:
mousex, mousey - position of the mouse in the level
mousebuttons - tells you which mouse buttons are pressed,
it's a sum of the values 1 for left mouse button, 2 for middle
mouse button and 4 for the right mouse button, so it's 1+2+4=7
when all buttons are pressed; you can also use the flags described
later to easier check for the mouse buttons
mousescreenx, mousescreeny - position of the mouse in the game screen
mousewheeldelta - the movement of the mouse wheel in the last 0.05 seconds
- flags for checking if a mouse button is pressed:
leftmousebutton - is set when the left mouse button is down
middlemousebutton - is set when the middle mouse button is down
rightmousebutton - is set when the right mouse button is down
- events:
mousedown - occurs when a mouse button has been pressed, so
you can do things like if (mousedown && leftmousebutton) message hi;
mouseup - occurs when a mouse button has been released
mousewheel - occurs when the mouse wheel has been used
- triggered actions (only on npcs where the player has clicked on,
is also sent to the npcserver):
actionleftmouse - the player has clicked on the npc
actionmiddlemouse - the player has clicked with the middle mouse button on the npc
actionrightmouse - the player has right-clicked on the npc
actiondoublemouse - the player has double-clicked on the npc

I already read that, and looked for other other people who have asked the same question, but i'm still confused about how it works.

If you are confused about simple flags and variables, maybe you should concentrate on the basics first.

i know the basics! i just dont know how this particular command works :(

oh, I enlightened myself on actionmouseleft / right and double click yesterday.

Well its pretty self exclamitory. I could give an example but it would end up doing your script...and I'm not going to do that now am I?

I don't have a mousewheel or a 3rd button on the mouse I use so it wouldn't help.

All the moust stuff is extra build-in flag and variables!!!

if(mousex in |30,40|) message pie!!!;

or something. figure it out. If you can't, you don't know the basics becasue these are NOT commands, they are flags and variables.

watch my leetness.

NPC Code:

---

if (mousewheel) {

 this.head = strtofloat(#e(4, strlen(#3)-4, #3));

 this.head+=mousewheeldelta;

 setplayerprop #3, head#v(this.head).png;

}

woot...shouldn't I mod these here forums, no?

moo....
