Code: while(1) { mouse_pos.x = mouse_cursor.x; mouse_pos.y = mouse_cursor.y; if(mouse_ent) a=1; else a=0; wait(1); } this should set variable a to 1, if mouse pointer is on any entity. Variable is watched on panel Code: digits(25, 5, "%1.f", *, 1, a); It works when the position of the entity is (0,0,0), but when it is placed somewhere else, variable a is still 0, even when the pointer is on this entity. What am I doing wrong?
