Hi guys,
I want to make a small strategy game. To recognize if ye click on a model I tried to use event_click, but it doesn't work. Anybody know why??

function mouse_event()
{
while(1)
{
if (event_type == EVENT_CLICK)
{
beep();
ent_remove(me);
return;
}
wait(1);
}
}

action sound_on_click()
{
set(me,ENABLE_CLICK);
my.emask |= ENABLE_CLICK;
my.event=mouse_event;
}

Welcome to the forums!

1. Don't use loops in events.
2. Don't use ENABLE_CLICK in combination with the set macro. This will do bad things.
3. Check if the action sound_on_click is ever called by placing a beep or a printf("Over here!"); in the first line of the action.

Your code should look like this:


Hope that helps.

Hi,
why do you use this while in your event?
remove the while loop, it doesnt make sence there!

how big is the distance btw. the camera and the objekt?(in quants)

and use code tags if you want to show us parts of your code(dont forget to use "inden all" in sed)
[ code ]
[ /code ]
without spaces
xxxxxxx

I'm sorry Urhwerk, but I don't know what a "set macro" is.

Thanks a lot for al those quick answers.
But it still doesn't work. I set mouse_range to 30000, the distance is about 1500 and I took the code of redeemer, so when I click on this model it should beep and disappear, or? What am I doing wrong

You used the set macro in the line "set(me,ENABLE_CLICK);". set is a macro because it gets replaced by the precompiler. After the precompiler changed your line it should look like "(me->flags |= (ENABLE_CLICK));". That is very dangerous because you set an eflag in the flags.

When you execute Redeemer's code it should work, yes. Please place a "prtinf("Here!");" in the first line of sound_on_click. Does that pop up a message box for you?

Why doesn't this work? I've done all you've said, bur it still doesn't work

EDIT: Found sth. if i put a printf in event_click, nothing happens. The event isn't beeing executed. But I've got no idea why.
Please!! Someone help me.

Did you activate the mouse at all (mouse_mode = 4;) ?

YYYEEESSSS, thanks!!!!!!
I'm so stupid
I had mouse_mode set on 2, of course it doesn't work then.
Sorry everyone for causing this trouble.
