Alert23 215 Posted February 23, 2020 Hi everyone, my question is how/can i make the mouse Cursor visible in an static Camera view. Spoiler i found this code on another thread [] spawn { _ctrl = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscPicture", 31357]; _ctrl ctrlSetPosition [0.48, 0.4799, 0.04, 0.04]; _ctrl ctrlSetText "\A3\ui_f\data\map\markers\military\destroy_CA.paa"; _ctrl ctrlSetTextColor [1, 0, 0, 1]; _ctrl ctrlCommit 0; }; but how would i make this marker move with the mouse movement? i want to create something like MoorHuhn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7erra 629 Posted February 23, 2020 You could do a loop what executes every frame: while {!isNull _display} do { _ctrl ctrlSetPosition getMousePosition; _ctrl ctrlCommit 0; _frame = diag_frameNo; waitUntil {_frame != diag_frameNo}; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7erra 629 Posted February 24, 2020 Is the screen static when shooting targets or is it the normal 3D movement with turning etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alert23 215 Posted February 24, 2020 8 hours ago, 7erra said: Is the screen static when shooting targets or is it the normal 3D movement with turning etc? its a static Camera View created with camcreate: Spoiler CameraView1 = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]; CameraView1 cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]; showCinemaBorder false; CameraView1 camPrepareTarget [14590,16806.8,0]; CameraView1 camPreparePos [14650.2,16746,2.25432]; CameraView1 camPrepareFOV 0.67; CameraView1 camCommitPrepared 0; the idea is to have some sort of "crosshair" like marker serving as the CursorTarget/Object. the problem is i cant get the mouse cursor or CursorTarget/Object to work in a static screen. this is how the mission is looking now everyting is working great, shooting,reloading etc.. but unfortunately i cant get that marker move by MouseMovement.

7erra 629 Posted February 25, 2020 Ah okay that should be easy. You could create a dialog and also move your ui elements to that dialog. The mouse should now be moveable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

7erra 629 Posted February 25, 2020 The dialog can be empty too. So put the following in the description.ext: class ALERT_EmptyDialog { idd = -1; class controls { }; }; Now you can create it with createDialog "ALERT_EmptyDialog"; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alert23 215 Posted February 26, 2020 Thank you, this indeed made the mouseCursor visible/moveable but now this code: Spoiler waituntil {!isnull (finddisplay 46)}; (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["MouseButtonUP", { if (_this select 1 == 0 && cursorObject isKindOf "Man") then { playSound "ShotGunSound"; cursorObject setdammage 1; //some codes} else { if (_this select 1 == 0) then { playSound "ShotGunSound"; //some codes }; }; false }]; Does not work if i press the LMB.

7erra 629 Posted February 26, 2020 Ah yeah you'll have to add that code to the newly created dialog: class ALERT_EmptyDialog { idd = -1; onLoad = "_this execVM ""ui_init.sqf"";"; class controls { }; }; And the ui_init.sqf: params ["_display"]; _display displayAddEventHandler ["MouseButtonUP", { if (_this select 1 == 0) then { playSound "ShotGunSound"; if (cursorObject isKindOf "Man") then { cursorObject setdammage 1; //some codes }; false }]; (Also a little bit of better if then statements). I just noticed that cursorObject is not gonna work. The cursorObject will always return what is in the center of the screen, not where the mouse cursor actually is. To maintain a static camera view you'd probalby do some more math with lineintersectsObjs or some command of that sort 🤔 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like. this brace is the closing brace for the if,then from above right? WRONG! Its something completely else that you don't expect. So lets clean up your brace layout and indentation to be able to see whats really going on. sleep 0.3; waitUntil {!(isNull(findDisplay 46))}; ShotGunShot1 = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["MouseButtonDown", { { if ((_this select 1 == 0 && side _x == east && alive _x && lineIntersects [ getPosASL StaticCamera1, getPosASL _x])) then { (findDisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler ["MouseButtonDown", ShotGunShot1]; playSound "ShotGunSoundEffect"; _x setdammage 1; 0006 cutText ["","PLAIN", 1]; null = [] execVM "scripts\ShotGunShoot2.sqf" } else { if (_this select 1 == 0) then { (findDisplay 46) displayRemoveEventHandler ["MouseButtonDown", ShotGunShot1]; playSound "ShotGunSoundEffect"; 0006 cutText ["","PLAIN", 1]; null = [] execVM "scripts\ShotGunShoot2.sqf"; }; }; false } }]; Here, that's better. Now we see that your code, actually does nothing at all. All your MouseDown handler does, is return a piece of code, starting at the first { and ending at the last } you never execute that code though, so it does nothing. Now I don't know what to do with _x, you never set that variable, i have no idea where you expect it to be coming from. 15 hours ago, Alert23 said: if (_this select 1 == 0) then { You do this check twice. It would be easier to just do a if (_this select 1 != 0) exitWith {}; at the start of your handler and be done with it. 15 hours ago, Alert23 said: false Why do you return false here? that doesn't seem to have any purpose.

Chewz 23 Posted April 14, 2020 It's not hard. @Larrow has given pretty much all of the solutions for you. You just need to adjust his code slightly. Try this. //Create a camera 2m infront of the player cam = "camera" camCreate ( player getPos[ 2, getDir player ] ); //Set camera 2m off the ground cam setPosATL ( getPosATL cam vectorAdd[ 0, 0, 2 ] ); //Switch to the cameras static view cam cameraEffect[ "Internal", "Back" ]; //Create a blank UI so we can see the mouse pointer createDialog "RscDisplayCommon"; //On render update addMissionEventHandler[ "Draw3D", { //Max distance of intersect _maxDistance = 200; //Camera position _camPos = getPosATL cam; //Mouse screen position as world _worldPos = screenToWorld getMousePosition; //Direction( normalised ) from camera to mouse world position _vectorDir = _camPos vectorFromTo _worldPos; //Calculate line end position _lineEnd = _camPos vectorAdd ( _vectorDir vectorMultiply _maxDistance ); //Get first surface intersections between camera and line end lineIntersectsSurfaces[ ATLToASL _camPos, ATLToASL _lineEnd ] select 0 params[ [ "_pos", [] ] ]; //If we have an intersection if ( count _pos isEqualTo 3 ) then { //Check for nearby entities to the selected position _EntityToKill = (_pos nearEntities [["Man"], 5]) select 0; // kill nearest entitity _EntityToKIll setDamage 1; }else{ diag_log format[ "%1: No intersect position", time ]; }; }]; Credit to Larry for the majority of the code above, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
