G'day all,
I have found a problem with moving a game piece first with the mouse
and them with any key assignments.
In my HeroQuest module, the 4 arrow keys allow the player to move a
hero or monster piece in the 4 main directions (Up, down, left &
right). When the player presses a key, the movement trail leaves a dot
where they were and then creates a line to the new spot they have
moved to.
This also happens when the Player uses the mouse to move from square
to square. However, when the Player moves the piece firstly with the
mouse to a square and then uses the keyboard to move the piece, the
movement trail does not show that the piece stopped at the place the
mouse was released. That may be confusing so please look at this diagram.
H = hero piece
- = trail
X = the dot of the trail showing the movement of the piece
This is what I see when using either the mouse or the keyboard by
itself to move the piece from left to right and then down one:
H---X
|
H
This is what I see when I move the piece with the mouse one square to
the right and then use the keyboard to move the piece one square down:
H
\
H
Here's another example. This is what I see when using either the mouse
or the keyboard by itself to move the piece from left to right 3 spaces:
H---X---X---H
This is what I see when I move the piece with the mouse one square to
the right and then use the keyboard to move the piece 2 more squares
to the right:
H-------X---H
Hope that makes things clearer.
Cheers
