Mouse wheel

[Raknarg]

Is there a way to detect mouse wheel scrolling?

[Zren]

There's nothing in the Mouse module, and the GUI module doesn't use it, so nope.

actually, someone who made forces (windsurfer) incorporated the mouse wheel (as well as the right button) into their game.

im not sure how but it's possible (and the source code for forces is out there)

[Raknarg]

Yeah, theres probs a way to do it.. I know for a fact that someone made a module to use a joypad, so it has o be possible

[Alex C.]

also, do you mean scrolling or clicking with the wheel?

[Raknarg]

scrolling, like my first post said

[Alex C.]

by the way, "Retro Shooter" might have mouse scrolling in it's code somewhere...

Turing:

Mouse.ButtonChoose ("multibutton")         var x, y, button, left, middle, right : int         Mouse.Where (x, y, button)         left := button mod 10           % left = 0 or 1         middle := (button - left) mod 100   % middle = 0 or 10         right := button - middle - left     % right = 0 or 100         if left = 1 then             put "left button down"         end if         if middle = 10 then             put "middle button down"         end if         if right = 100 then             put "right button down"         end if

You know is your heart that you should have searched for it

[Alex C.]

huh, that's actually pretty useful!

Well, actually the functionality is bugged. You can't detect more than one button click on the mouse at a time. See this thread.

Unfortunately, Racknarg is looking for a way to detect scrolling not clicking. Zren is correct Turing does not provide a way of detecting mouse wheel scrolling.
