Lua: Finding mouse screen X and Y

Anonymous — Mon, 31 Aug 2015 15:32:31 GMT

Hey!

I've been attempting to find the (x,y) coordinates of the mouse. I understand that

stingray.Mouse.axis(stingray.Mouse.axis_id("mouse"))

will return the mouse delta, and I've tried every combination of words I can think of but I can't work out how to retrieve the actual x & y positions.

Any help is greatly appreciated 🙂

Cheers,

Kaine

Hi Kaine,

Are you wanting to do this with scaleform as a UI functionality or in your game with mouse focus?

Hey Dan!

At the moment I'm looking to do it in the game with mouse focus, though I'll need to learn it for scaleform at sometime so both would be great! But mainly in game.

Thanks!

Hi Kaine,

You can return the location of the cursor by using the following:

stingray.Mouse.axis(stingray.Mouse.axis_id("cursor"), stingray.Mouse.RAW, 3).x,
stingray.Mouse.axis(stingray.Mouse.axis_id("cursor"), stingray.Mouse.RAW, 3).y)
