Thanks for your help so far.

Is there a way to respond to a mouse click, move etc. even if the mouse isn't in contact with a particular object? I'd like to be able to click and drag the point of view, in this case to rotate around an object. This is proving tricky. Incidentally, if there's a better way to achieve this then let me know (e.g. a different way of using camera controllers).

Hi,

make a drag n drop is not possible at the moment,
but you can do something that approaches ... (I'm wrong maybe check !

)

I can not go to the Editor (I'm on very low spec), but I can help by giving you a "pseudo-code".

<CUBE>
   <IF MOUSE 'mouse_down'>
      <LOOP>
         <Set 'x' = (mouse.x -450)>
      <LOOP END>
   <IF END> 
<CUBE>

Warning, the CUBE go in the opposite direction on the X axis (it's normal)
So I add a number(-450) to around this problem but it is not efficient...

You can for the different axes, it'll have to adjust every time !

you should also do an event for MOUSE_UP to release the CUBE ...

there are still a concern, the xyz axes, does not rotate along with the camera axes .
I did not find any idea to work around this problem correctly.

maybe Cyberix Team will have a better idea.

PS, continue like that !
strength to create original mechanism,
you find your ideal gameplay for your future big project.

Joshua-Westbury OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 14	Thanks for the advice. That's going to be useful too, but actually I was looking for something simpler: how to do something when the mouse is clicked or moved, even if the mouse isn't over any object. As far as I can see, the green If Mouse --> clicked etc. only works for an object. Any ideas?

Ooops

<PLANE *Texture_Alpha = 0  *Rotation.x = -90   *size = "larger than the field of view">
   <LOOP>
      <IF MOUSE 'mouse_down'>
         <Set 'CUBE.texture' = "Material1">
      <IF END>
   <LOOP END>
<PLANE>

<MATERIAL1>
   <Color = Blue>
<MATERIAL1>

<CUBE Color = NULL or "any color,it is only to be a difference">
<CUBE>

This approaches what you want ?

Let me know.

*EDIT I just saw that you did your update at the same time I write my answer.
This works to a point, but for multi-points you can try to adjuste or create a HUD with rectangles2D.

Joshua-Westbury OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 14	OK the 2D rectangle worked fine, thanks for the tip. I would show you the result but having some trouble with the "publish" button...
