Hi
I have a maybe very simple problem but i have no idea how to solve it. i just want to move an entity with the mouse over the screen (only in x and y direction).
Could someone please help me?
I have looked in the manual but there is only explained how to rotate an entity with the mouse and here in the forum i couldn't find a post with my problem...

Here is a sample code to achieve this, not perfect
but should get you started.

Code:

---

var speed = 2;  // play with 2

action myEntity
{
  while(my)
  {
     my.x += sign(screen_size.y/2 - mouse_cursor.y) * speed * time_step;
     my.y += sign(screen_size.x/2 - mouse_cursor.x) * speed * time_step;
     wait(1);
  }
}

function main()
{
   ....
   ....
   mouse_mode = 1;
}

---

hi
I've tested your code but there the entity automaticly moves in one direction (to the upper right side of the level in the top-perspective) and you cannot influence the movement with the mouse...

The above code split the screen into 4 quarters, your entity will
move to left or right depends on your mouse pointer located on the
left side or right side of the screen. Also, the entity will move
forward/backward depends on your mouse pointer is on the upper or
lower part of the screen.

As I said it's not a perfect code, you have to modify it to get what you
need, or you have to be more specific about what you want to achieve.

I simply want to move my player entity with the mouse and not with the keyboard. maybe i can explain it in such a way that the player entity should be my mouse cursor

while(1)
{
MOUSE_POS.X = POINTER.X; MOUSE_POS.Y = POINTER.Y;
temp.x = MOUSE_POS.x;
temp.y = MOUSE_POS.y;
temp.z = 50;
vec_for_screen(temp,CAMERA);
vec_set(player.x,temp);
wait(1);
}

in this case player will be at the cursor pos and 50 quants front of the camera.

This is what you want to make?

Yeah^^
Thank you!!! It works great. This is exactly that i was looking for
