FreeSpace Releases > Scripting Releases

hate how the mouse works? have i got the script for you!

<< < (2/24) > >>

Huggybaby:
Nuke, this is fantastic!

For those curious, what this does is eliminate the need to keep moving the mouse to keep turning the ship, a problem which has caused a long thread elsewhere. Now the mouse works like a joystick! Move it a few inches and stop, and the ship keeps turning. It's no longer necessary to keep picking up the mouse and repositioning it! Awesome.

Umm, is the gauge even necessary? And if you use button 2 to roll (an idea I like), does that mean you can't fire missiles with it anymore?

Nuke:
new version

else
wf = w / 640

--mousejoy function, returns a value from -1 to 1 depending on the mouse's position

--- End code ---

ive added some more astheticly pleasing gauges. ive also added deadzone support for the mouse, you may tweak the dead variable to your liking. bigger number means more deadzone,  1 is the full range of motion 0.5 is half. i find a low value like 0.05 works well, to give you a small snap to indicate you reached center. bigger deadzones can be harder to deal with, and if you have a steady hand you can just set it to zero to get a fluid range. no matter what setting you use it will always run a full smooth 0-1 gradient from the edge of the dead zone to the edge of the range max. to change the deadzone just change the number on this line to whatever you want:
dead = 0.05   --factor of how much range of motion is dead, 1 is max 0 is min

ive also added a roll mode, enabled by the middle button, if you dont have a middle button you can use your right (or left for that matter) my changing this line:
rolltoggle = io.isButtonDown(MOUSE_MIDDLE_BUTTON)
to
rolltoggle = io.isButtonDown(MOUSE_RIGHT_BUTTON)
i used middle so i could use my right for missiles.

now i still havent plugged in scale factors for different screen resolutions yet. it might be a little large cause i designed it for 1280*1024, but i intent to make it uniform, at any resolution. i also havent plugged damping values yet. not sure how yet, i might need to ask wmc about that. but theyre on my to do list.

Wanderer:
if you are using the new scripting system why aren't you using sv.Player - or whatever was the new 'direct' handle to player's ship - instead of mn.Ships["Alpha 1"]

Nuke:
im just finally getting the hang of the new system. that wasnt in the scripting.html, but il make note for future reference.

*edit*
just tried it and it doesnt work :D

commented out this line
cornholio = mn.Ships["Alpha 1"]
and changed all other cornholio references to sv.Player.
crashes straight to desktop at mission commit, no error.

Wanderer:
well... WMC's pre-commit build fails to run on my cpu (that is when trying without any mods or any kind of scripts)

EDIT: Hmmm... fs2_open_C12172006-P4 caused an Illegal Instruction in module fs2_open_C12172006-P4.exe at 001b:005ef547.

Your problems sounds awfully lot like the older 'plr' handle issue that dropped game immediately when encountered if the actual exe file was of certain type. That is it worked with debugs and IIRC also on some redmenace builds but failed on all 369RCs for example
