Layer Entities - click

hmrg, I am using gamestudio since A4 and never used this screen entity things.
Now I need them and can't get them to react to the mouse.

I am creating this entities with
ENTITY *ent = ent_createlayer("file", 0, 1)
then I assigned an event
ent.emask |= ENABLE_TOUCH
and of course the I set the
ent.event = myEvent;
function.

No matter how big the mouse_range var is, the things will not react to the mouse.
Can they react? If yes, how do I do that?

Greeting,
Patrick

through functions and actions

I still use wdl, but since you come from wdl you should have no problem converting this code:

function click_event(){

if (event_type == event_click){beep();}// and further code proceeds

}

action click_act{

my.enable_click = on;
my.event = click_event;

while(1){wait(1);}

}

Hope this helps

The problem is, that I allready do that. Only in Lite-C.
the function ent_createlayer only returns the entity, you can't
assign an action directly.
I create the screen entities procedural, so I can't prdefine them.
I come more and more to the conclusion, that it is not possible, to let them react to the mouse.

VIEW entities do not receive mouse events. See the table in the manual about entities: http://www.conitec.net/beta/aentities-intro.htm

Ah ok, thank you
