Seems the door action needs a while loop to allow alternating mouse input.
Something like:
Code:

---

action doorControls 
{
   my.ENABLE_CLICK = ON;

   while(1)
   {
      if(event_type == EVENT_CLICK)
      {
        my.event = manipulateDoor;
      }
      wait(1);
   }
} 

---

did not try it but hope it helps,
cheers

Still no joy! It's beginning to bug me now!

I can't see what the problem is except that the player movement action is exclusively hogging the "my" pointer or something. When I use the c_scan from the player control loop it works fine (well, as fine as it can with a c_scan) but the minute I try and run the door action from a click nothing happens.



Thanks anyway...

Jim.

no the while loop is false, when you call an event it automaticly waits for your input.

Do you mean that it does work when you use even_scan instead of event_click in the door action?

Try to use beep(); instead of my.pan += 45; and see if you got a result when clicking. It should work though as far as I can see.

Yeah - although I call c_scan from within the player control loop. When I trigger the scan it triggers the action. The problem is I don't like using c_scan to manipulate objects...

I eddited my post in case you missed it

Still nothing! I put the beep in the action defintion as well as the event and it beeps three times when the world is first compiled (there are three entities with this behaviour so the action behaviour is registering properly) but when I click on the target nothing happens!

You do have a mouse function do you?

Code:

---

bmap mouse_pcx = "mouse_pcx";

function mouse() {
  mouse_map = mouse_pcx;
  mouse_mode = 1;

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

---

what does happen if you remove

player.pan -= (mouse_force.x * 24 * time);
tempTilt = (mouse_force.y * 8 * time);

it would be the problem if it still dont work its a other problem

and i maid a foult i hink

funtion main
{
mouse_mode = 1;
mouse_map = "pointer.bmp";
while(1)
{
mouse_pos.x = pointer.x;
mouse_pos.y = pointer.y;
wait(1);
}

Right, forgot.
OK, you're getting a lot of suggestions,
here is another one for the door action:

Code:

---

action doorControls
{
	my.ENABLE_CLICK = ON;
        if(me == mouse_ent && mouse_left == on)
        {
             my.event = manipulateDoor;
        }
}
  

---

cheers

might need the while loop for this one though

Nope! Neither one of those seems to resolve it - I've tried different uses of the mouse_ent object too.

One idea did spring to mind - is it possible to call the my.event function from the mouse_ent object? That way I could place the code to handle the mouse click within my player control loop and run it from there?

Just a thought...

Thanks again for your help guys, it is appreciated.

Cheers - Jim.
