Mouse Position

[Guest]

Is there a way to get the position of the mouse pointer (x,y) and then change it in code? Needed for 3rd person mouse control.

I saw that before and I'm sure the answer is there but I'm too new to working with APIs to make much sense of it. Could someone give me an example?

Code: Select all

        if (event.EventType == irr::EET_MOUSE_INPUT_EVENT)
        {
                s32 mouseX = event.MouseInput.X;
                s32 mouseY = event.MouseInput.Y;
        }

puh, thanks for the code, works great but I'm still not sure how to change the mouse position in code. For example, what if I want to reset the mouse's x and y back to the center of the screen? Can it be done?

Code: Select all

irrlichtDevice->getCursorControl->setPosition(0.5f, 0.5f);

would set the cursor to the middle of the screen

turboferret, it gave me an error messaage:
error C2227: left of '->setPosition' must point to class/struct/union

Any ideas? If I can get this working I'll write a tutorial about it to help other newbies.

Try:

irrlichtDevice->getCursorControl()->setPosition(0.5f, 0.5f);

This is assuming that you have a variable named irrlichtDevice that stores a pointer to a device.
