Can GUI events override Mouse/Keyboard events?

[fernando24691]

Hello everybody!

At last I've coded my event receiver. I've enabled it to handle GUI, mouse and keyboard events. But there's a little problem.

First of all say that I coded a function that moves the player everywhere I click in the 3d world (a classic "goTo" function). Well, when I click a button , it runs ok, but the goTo function also starts, and makes the player go to the point "behind" the button in 3d world.

To solve this, I need to override GUI events over mouse events, so I can click the button without moving th player. So, any idea?

Thanks!

as you know from the other post a return true; causes Irrlicht to not handle the event enymore...
so after you handled the button click event return true, that should do it...

You saved me two times dude .....

I think I missunderstood you ... .... I cannot solve it...

Here's my receiver structure:

Code: Select all

virtual bool OnEvent(const SEvent& event)
   {
       if (event.EventType == EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT)
              {
             ///BLABLABLABLABLA
               }


       if (event.EventType == EET_MOUSE_INPUT_EVENT)
               {
             ///BLABLABLABLABLA
               }


        if (event.EventType == EET_GUI_EVENT)
               {
             ///BLABLABLABLABLA
               }

      return false;
     }

As you said me, If I return true, GUI code doesn't run, only mouse and keys, so, as you can see, I returned false.

Now, as you said, I guess I had to return true after GUI event code... so my receiver would be:

Code: Select all

virtual bool OnEvent(const SEvent& event)
   {
       if (event.EventType == EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT)
              {
             ///BLABLABLABLABLA
               }


       if (event.EventType == EET_MOUSE_INPUT_EVENT)
               {
             ///BLABLABLABLABLA
               }


        if (event.EventType == EET_GUI_EVENT)
               {
             ///BLABLABLABLABLA
             return true;
               }

      return false;
     }

But that doesn't change the behaviour of the program. I still having mouse and GUI events at once. What's wrong?

ohh, yes, sorry, that's because a gui event always has a mouse event first...

maybe this thread can help you: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=30463

That post definitely solved my problem! Thanks

Indeed. I had this problem for my simulator. Lots of headache, but I fixed it on my own. It's the way that I ordered them and had to take out some "return false;" 's
