This is my first posting to the list here, and I think it's of interest
to many people.
The problem I'm experiencing is with the Mouse() function. When I put
the following line into a repeating loop:
wait until the mouse is down
or
if the mouse is down then ...
it only works some times. On the first time through the loop, it will
correctly tell me the current state of the mouse button (I'm on a Mac,
and using a one-button mouse, but a multiple button mouse should work
with this, too) . However, when it loops around and comes to one of
those two lines, it cannot tell if the mouse is pressed. The only
message it gets (for some unknown reason) is that the mouse is up, even
when I'm pressing and holding it down. (I've checked this by making a
repeat loop which puts the result of Mouse() into msg box)
Here's part of a script I'm talking about:
repeat until givenTheSign is "stay"
wait until the mouse is down --**Also could be "wait until Mouse() is
down"
put the mouseLoc into someVariable
doOtherStuff
end repeat
The first time through the repeat, it keeps checking to see if the mouse
is down and, when it's depressed, it moves on to the next line (put the
mouseLoc into someVariable) .
However, the next time through the loop, it just gets stuck on "wait
until the mouse is down". This is quite important for a few games I'm
working on, including a basketball and casino game. What could I do
about this peculiarity?
Thanks for your time!
