Hello all

I just thought I would release this DLL to the public. It is nothing fancy, it just positions the screen cursor at a user defined location, something not possible in native 3dgs C-script.

It was made for C-script, but I guess it should work in Lite-C

Here is the link,

adoado,

This .dll is exactly what I need, but it seems to crash in A7 using lite-c. Has anyone been successful in using this .dll in lite-c?

Thanks!

correct me if i'm wrong but can't you set the mouse position directly with the

mouse_pos.x
mouse_pos.y

variables?

He means the screen cursor (mouse_cursor in GS).
This have to be set with a Windows Function.

In lite-c you should be able to use SetCursorPos somehow.

No, if your cursor is halfway the screen and put your mouse_pos at zero, you can't move further than halfway the screen, because your real cursor will be outside the screenborders if you did. And there are more issues such as clicking (I think).

With lite-c it's very easy without any dll:

add
#include <windows.h>;

and just use the API function:
SetCursorPos(5,5);

have fun, mercuryus

thanks! i didn´t know about SetCursorPos(). could this be used to limit the mouse cursor to the engine window? is there also a GetCursorPos()? could you post an example which does this?

You can limit the mouse cursor with lite-c by using ClipCursor and the Engine window properties (pos/size).
All these and many other function are defined in windows.h.

A reference of the windows api can be found here.

No example for clipping the cursor - but it's easy...

Wow .. windows.h! No doubt I'll find all sorts of goodies in there! Thanks for the responses. Just in case you are curious, in my game the mouse is normally active. Holding down the right mouse button goes into "move mode" and controls the entity's pan. Releasing the right mouse button changes back to mouse mode. The problem was that, after exiting move mode, my mouse pointer needs to get re-centered. Hopefully your advice will solve this issue. I think that those controls are somewhat like World of Warcraft, but it's been too long for me to remember.

Thanks!

Haven't checked this post for a while, didn't see all these comments ^^

I can change the DLL into Lite-C if necessary (but it appears not)

Thanks,
