Hi,

I am wondering if there is a way to program the mouse wheel to use for forward and backward motion? I want motion only when you are rolling the wheel. I can't find it in the templates or searching the forums.

Thanks,

Lawrence

You can use mickey.z for that.

I am sorry. I am not sure what mickey.z is?

Why don't you ask the mighty manual?

Well, you should read the manual, but with that said, I just wanted to post an example of code:

Code:


		camera.z += (0.5 * mickey.z);	//allow the camera to zoom in on middle mouse
			if(camera.z < 1500) camera.z = 1500;	//don't exceed bounds
			if(camera.z > 4000) camera.z = 4000;	//don't exceed bounds
		wait(1);												//avoid endless loops

It works like mouse_force and key_force.
