Mouse to play IPO

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion

Hi all!

I have found lots of different mouse scripts searching the forums, but I have not come across one that allows me to just change a property…
If I can control the property’s of an actor I can control the IPO frames.

I have a cannon I need to change the elevation with the y movement, and a turret the gun is attached to to be assigned the X movement.

the game works great with keyboard but is a bit too complicated in my opinion.

Thanks in advanced for any help :slight_smile:

I don’t have my blender stuff on me at the moment (damn you, viruses on windows!) but an approxamite version of the script (probably has bugs) is:


import GameLogic as g
import Rasterizer as r
cont=g.getCurrentController()
own=cont.getOwner()

mouse=cont.getSensor("mouse")
mouseX=mouse.getXPosition()
mouseY=mouse.getYPosition()
midX=r.getWindowWidth()/2
midY=r.getWindowHeight()/2

Xstep=.01
Ystep=.01

if 0<=own.X<=10:
	own.X+=(midX-mouseX)*Xstep
if own.X<0:
	own.X=0
if own.X>10:
	own.X=10

if 0<=own.Y<=10:
	own.Y+=(midY-mouseY)*Ystep
if own.Y<0:
	own.Y=0
if own.Y>10:
	own.Y=10

r.setMousePosition(midX,midY)

something like that, anyway. it needs to be plugged into a mouse movement sensor named mouse, and there need to be a float properties named X and Y.

[edit] I fixed it, it should work now

Ok,

Tried it out, and was able to hack it into submission :slight_smile: (I had 30 frames not 10)

That is Sooo cool!

Thanks Very very much for this :slight_smile:
