onMouseDown() not working, help?

[khortez]

Tried doing:

PHP Code:

function onMouseDown(button){
if(button == "left")
triggerserver("gui", name, "block", temp.x, temp.y);
} 


but it doesn't work when i do it that way. it only works if i keep it the way it is below. someone mind telling how i can fix that? any help appreciated.

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide(){
  if (params[0] == "block") 
    temp.p = putnpc2(params[1], params[2], "");
   temp.p.join("personal_khortez_block");
  }









//#CLIENTSIDE
function onKeyPressed(code, key){
if(key == "z"){

this.on = !this.on;

if(this.on){
settimer(0.05);
player.chat = "Blocks on!";
}

else {

player.chat = "Blocks off!";
}
  }
    } 
   




function onTimeOut(){
temp.x = int(mousex);
temp.y = int(mousey);
 
  if (this.on){ 
    
    showimg(1, "cega_staffblock2-frozenlies0.png", temp.x, temp.y);
    showtext(2, temp.x+2, temp.y+0.5, "Palatino Linotype", "i", player.nick);
    
    changeimgcolors(1, 1, 1, 1, 0.5);
    
    if(leftmousebutton){
    triggerserver("gui", name, "block", temp.x, temp.y);
    }
    
    setTimer( 0.05 );
   }
   
   else{ 
    hideimgs( 1 , 2);
  
}
 }

In your function, temp.x and temp.y is not defined. Try using mousex and mousey.

Have you tried seeing if button is actually "left"

I.e:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onMouseDown(button) {
  player.chat = "Param: " @ button;
} 


I have memories of onMouseDown being only for left-clicks, so having logic button == "left" logic like that might not even be needed at all.

onMouseDown is for all buttons (if I recall correctly—fairly sure it is).

Oh well according to documentation for GUI Controls:

onMouseDown(keymodifier,mousescreenx,mousescreeny, clickcount) - the left mouse button has been pressed inside this control
http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Crea...ent/GuiControl

but I guess this is one of those Graal being Graal things.

thanks guys, tig was right. it was defined in another function but not in Mousedown()

Kinda. It only applies to GUI controls. The regular onMouseDown() event features all other mouse buttons as well.

Okay so to avoid making posts, ill ask here. if i have to ill make a new thread but for now, to the point...

destroy(); for some reason is constantly deleting the weapon out of my inventory.... at least i believe it is. Why? and when i use it to delete the blocks i have placed, it doesnt delete them permanently. they show up again when i reconnect.

also id like to know what triggeraction means.

[fowlplay4]

destroy() destroys the object that calls it, which is why it gets removed from your inventory.

triggeraction, sends a trigger to the x, y, with an action, and parameters. Honestly though just search the forums for triggerserver or triggeraction. There's plenty of examples out there that show how it works.

Tip: Search the forums for the answers, unless your question is completely specific to a situation you'll probably be able to find a solid answer.

Thanks, i figured id go ahead and ask since i wanted to know why destroy(); was deleting my weapon. still i wonder why it wont delete the blocks i lay down permanently, it looks like their deleted on my screen until i reconnect.

oh and i know about triggerserver, saw chris vimes explain it to someone else on these forums. triggeraction i saw too but it wasnt explained, so it was fairly new to me

The blocks are only being deleted clientside and will remain serverside. You have to do the destroy()ing in the serverside part of the code.
