I found this a little puzzling, possibly someone can tell me why it does not work.

Code:

---

function touch_event()
{
  if(event_type == event_touch)
  {
    if(mouse_right)
    {
      breakpoint;
    }
  }
}
action test_touch
{
  my.enable_touch = on;
  my.event = touch_event;
}

---

I do not understand why the breakpoint does not trip when I touch the entity, and right click the mouse at the same time, but it doesn't.

I assumed events were checked every frame, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for any help.

Events are NOT triggered every frame. Try hold rightclick and move over the entity . There are many ways to reach what you want, for example:

if (event_type == event_touch) {
while (!mouse_right) {wait(1);} //wait until the rightmouse is pressed
breakpoint;
}

This code is not well thought. It works, but there are downsides. It just depends how, what and when you need it.

didnt test it but you cold do it like this

Code:

---

action test_touch
{
while(my!=null)
{
if(my.skill5 ==1)
{
breakpoint;
my.skill5 =0;
}
wait(1);
}
}

function mouskill()
{
while(1)
{
  if(mouse_right == 1)
 	{
 	  if(mouse_ent)
 	  {
 	    you.skill5 = 1; 
 	  }
 	}
    wait(1);
    }	
}

function main
{
//lvl_load and mouse settings
mousekill();
}

Thank you both for the replies and suggestions. I understand now that events are different than loops, being that they are only triggered when the event has happenned and not every frame.

Makes even more sense when I put a "beep;" instruction in the event touch check, and I hear it only trigger once per each time I move the mouse over the entity.

I'll use a skill to set if the entity has been touch, and moniter that skilll in a loop to do further instructions.

Thanks again for helping me clarify this.

btw: There is also an event: EVENT_RELEASE you could use for your instruction..

if(event_type == EVENT_TOUCH)
{
my.mouse_over = 1;
}
if(event_type == EVENT_RELEASE)
{
my.mouse_over = 0;
}

//....
while(1)
{
if(my.mouse_over == 1 && mouse_right) { .. }
wait(1);
}
