Hi, Again, a problem when upgrading to A8: "mouse_ent" is always NULL, no matter where I move the mouse.
while(1)
{
draw_text(str_for_num(NULL, mouse_range), 200,150, vector(200, 250,250));
if(mouse_ent)
draw_text(str_for_entfile(NULL, mouse_ent), 200,100, vector(200, 250,250));
else
draw_text("nil", 200,100, vector(200, 250,250));
wait(1);
}
I wrote this code to help me debug: it always prints nil. Mouse_range is 99999. Tried with mouse_mode 4 and 0.

How wide is the model? Make a square that is just plain silly huge in it's width. If it is still null then assign that square the handle "player" and check to see if mouse_ent is player. I don't always trust "if(mouse_ent)" type equations when it comes to pointers.

Thanks for your replies!
My level IS way too large (back when we started, I made everything to fit the player model) but 99999 should be enough to touch something when I fly close to it. I even tried the highest number the integer can hold. It can't be too low (it always worked in A7 and with the older shadeC - it might also be shadeC).
The code above was only for testing purposes, that's not the real code that tries to work with mouse_ent. The actual code checks mouse_ent == NULL as far as I remember (I'm not at home right now). Still, if(mouse_ent) is the correct syntax, I believe the only time these don't work is when there's multiple terms, like this:
if(a==b && mouse_ent) //this fails sometimes
but
if(mouse_ent) should work.
Funny thing is: even IF shadeC had an entity that blocked it all, then it should either print the name of that entity, or - if the entity is UNTOUCHABLE then it should print the name of the entities behind it, meaning the level entities that I want to get -.-
But it just sticks to "nil".

Ive used mouse_ent a few times in A8, and had no problems.
So if it really is the "if(a==b && mouse_ent)" that is failing,
have you tried it as "if((a==b) && (mouse_ent))" instead?

No, sorry, I wasn't clear on that:
I'm not using "if(a==b && mouse_ent", I'm just saying that this could fail, but if(mouse_ent) - which I AM using - should not.

start a new project and try this code. If it works then, then there is something else in your code that could be affecting it.

I did. Thanks, it worked.
mouse_ent behaves the same, it's some other code (messing around with camera views) which made it fail.
I'll have to find the problem there...
Thanks for all the replies!
