Does anyone know why I can't substitute a keyboard keypress with (MOUSE_LEFT_BUTTON) in script?  Am I using wrong syntax?

Example:

$KeyPress: t
$On Key Pressed:
[
 Blah blah blah scripty scripty etc. etc.

That works fine.  But if I replace 't' (or any other keyboard key) with MOUSE_LEFT_BUTTON it won't work.

Tried a few different combinations of syntax to no avail.

Anyone have any clues?  I'm guessing I may have to call up some kinda mouse state or something, but I'm a plebe with that kinda thing...

Did you make sure that the mouse button wasn't already assigned?  I believe that is a default secondary input.

What's wrong with using io.isMouseButtonDown(MOUSE_LEFT_BUTTON) in an On Frame hook?

Reckon I have to just teach myself a little more scripting.  I'm just trying to mash up stuff with existing scripts, but I think I just have to write my own from the ground up.  Thats ok - it's something I've been putting off for ages, but I need to know how to do it.

I'll read some tutorials & faqs and stuff before I start whining again!

Cheers all.

One handy tip is to use the "Output scripting to scripting.html" switch in the Launcher's Dev Tool feature list. This will create a file called scripting.html in your FS2 folder, which contains all lua API functions the engine supports.
