Hi all,

Just started with GStudio and I'm trying to code some basic movement / environment manipulation scripts. I know there are templates for this sort of thing but it's helping me learn the basics. Anyway, I've a door entity that is rotated using a EVENT_CLICK and the script works just fine - that is, unless it's used in conjunction with my player movement script!

The problem seems to be that the movement script takes exclusive control of any mouse / keyboard input and mouse clicks just don't seem to register at all.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance, Jim.

** DOOR SCRIPT **

// DoorFunctions.wdl

function manipulateDoor() {

if(event_type == EVENT_CLICK) {

my.pan += 45;
}
}

action doorControls {

my.ENABLE_CLICK = ON;
my.event = manipulateDoor;
}

** PLAYER CONTROL SCRIPTS **
// PlayerControls.wdl

// ** Global variables
var moveVector[3] = 0, 0, 0;

action playerControl {

player = me;

wait(1);

// ** Loop while player exists - check for keyboard / mouse input
while(player != null) {

// *************************************
// ** Control and update player movement

moveVector[0] = ((key_w - key_s) * 4 * time); // ** Sets "reldist" vector that sets the
// ** "direction" of the player's forward
// ** / reverse movement

moveVector[1] = ((key_a - key_d) * 2 * time); // ** Sets "reldist" vector that sets the
// ** "direction" of the players strafing
// ** movement

player.pan -= (mouse_force.x * 8 * time); // ** Pans the camera - controls x-rotation

// ** Tilts the camera while restricting the amount of tilt to + / - 75 degrees
var newTilt = 0;
var tempTilt = 0;
tempTilt = (mouse_force.y * 8 * time);

if((camera.tilt + tempTilt) > 75) {

newTilt = 75;

} else {

if((camera.tilt + tempTilt) < -75) {

newTilt = -75;

} else {

newTilt = (camera.tilt + tempTilt);
}
}

ent_move(moveVector, NULLVECTOR); // ** Moves the player

vec_set(camera.x, player.x); // ** Moves the camera
camera.pan = player.pan; // ** Rotates the camera
camera.tilt = newTilt; // ** Tilts the camera


if(key_space == 1) {

c_scan(camera.x, camera.pan, vector(10, 10, 200), SCAN_ENTS);
}

if(mouse_left == 1) {


}

wait(1);
}
}

Hey, Jim...

It would be easier to analyze your code if you would use the UBB CODE brackets when posting.

Didn't know you could do that!

Hope this helps...

Cheers - Jim.

P.S. Ignore the c_scan section triggered by the left mouse click - that was included after I encountered the problem as part of a workaround. Even without it the problem persists...

Cheers - Jim.

it could be mouse_mode ore mouse_range

Yeah I think it's the mouse_range as well, couldn't find any other explanation, and the player input wont suck the input for other entities away

I've changed the mouse mode and the range is set at a suitable level (the world is just a single, hollow cube) but still no joy...

Cheers - Jim.

another try
make and add a mouse_map
and move the mouse wite

while(1)
{
mouse_pos.x += mouse_force.x;
mouse_pos.y += mouse_force.y;
wait(1);
}

Thanks for the help Flits but still no joy!

I can't see where I've gone wrong with it - if I use a c_scan and change the doors ENABLE and EVENT the rotation occurs, it just doesn't seem to work with the click.

Frustrating!

Thanks again, Jim.
