doit mouse position checking

[Rob]

Is there a way to repeatedly obtain the mouses x and y positions in (method (doit))?

[Brian Provinciano]

You can create temporary event objects and use the GetEvent kernel to obtain all the current info (mouse button, x, y, key, etc.). There are also many other ways of obtaining the info. The titlescreen.sc script for example, checks if you click or press a key.

I will post some more tutorials including a solution to your question when I get back. I'll be back Tuesday and then start writing them.

Thank you, because doing

(method (doit)
  (var hEvent)
  = hEvent (Event:new())
)

works but seems to override the regular Eventhandler that controls the mouse and keyboard actions.
