Hey.. Just trying to get my head around something,

I want move my camera when my mouse hits the sides of the screen.. in the direction that the mouse hit. Example, Warcraft 3. Just wondering if there was a way I could border my screen with lines and each time the mouse moves on or over them the camera would move that way until the cursor is lifted off the line.

Or maybe impossible on GDK? Surely Not

Thanks in advance.

i believe you can, but ive never tested it, say:



just replace the edgesofscreen in the code with the coordinates of the edges on the screen, kinda obviously

And how would you get mouse position? because AFAIK all the commands are relative (like mouse move). Other option would be to have some objects aligned with side of screen, and use pick object to see if mouse is over them.
