Interaction with Mouse only

[ingsan]

Hello everyone !

One question : Can we make an Actor interact when Mouse cursor only, ie without any Actor parented to it, is on it ?

The most logical thing to do is to create a MouseActor whose visibility is False, and on Collision with an Actor, an action occurs. But it would be more Practical to be able to DETECT mouse position and collision upon any actor !

Any idea

Your logical idea is the one I use.

Actor - hiddenMouseCollider

This is the animation I use:

Remember, you've got to use an animation with a hole in it so that mouse clicks can "punch through".

Thank you for the tip, Jazz !
That was exactly the problem I get when using a MouseActor ...
Having a hole in the MouseActor image is an excellent idea (at least, it is very helpful)

Maxslane, what do you think of having the possibility to have a new Event called onMouseOver that could call an action when Mouse rolls over on an Actor

May be "Mouse Enter" and "Mouse Leave" events

I approve.

Wonderful

You can simulate the Mouse Enter and Mouse Leave events by using the jazz_e_bob tip and catch the Collision and Collision Finish events

That's exactly what I'm going to do
