Ok. This is VERY simple. But it is very helpful when you have to find a location on the screen to put a image or something. It is called Mouse Finder. I made it real quickly in DarkBASIC Pro. Press space to get the positions of the mouse. Let go to keep the positions you have at the moment you unpress. Press control to clear the current positions.

Can be downloaded at: http://zabproductions.yolasite.com/mouse-finder




Hope it helps!

No offense, but this would probably be better off in the Code Snippets board. I've recreated it in 13 lines of code:



You could at least have it export the coordinates to a file, or have it draw points or boxes where you click. Think of something that can make it helpful and interesting.

It makes me wonder what version 1.0 was like

Tried it. I was too big of a noob and didn't know how to convert # to $ .

None taken. I told you it was VERY simple. I meant it.

Oh my....... don't even mention the BETA. It was even worse than this version

Look, I don't want to be rude, but the description of this board is as follows:

Here, knowledge!


Did you really need a 1280x800 screenshot for six lines of text ?

C'mon give the guy a break! Sheesh! No wonder we scare so many people off and communities like GameDev always dish cr@p to Dark Basic!

Yeah so it belongs in Code Snippets, but maybe you could work your comments a little less 'cleverly.'

@Game Guy
I suggest you add a little more functionality to your program.
If possible as it was mentioned copying it to the clipboard would be useful, as would saving it to a file. Also I've noticed that you show the mouse z position, does that mean we can find the 3D mouse coordinates?

Sorry for the Late replys been busy.

@jeffhuys

I've heard this before. I posted this here because I never really knew where to post the images with DarkBASIC. I would waste ten minutes re - arranging the images to the right area. Then I got this Idea. I start it , find the location , minimize it by pressing down key and get the image to where I want it. Others that don't yet know enough to do this can do it easily.

@BMacZero

Yeah thanks for the Knoweldge! .


@Darth Vader

Thank You! I don't think anyone has even said anything like that since I posted this .......... except you. Yeah now I know how to convert # to $ I'll prob do that. And for the MouseZ I saw it would only take like 3 more lines of code and I thought "why not?" maybe when/if I expand it a bit than I will make it like that.


Thank You all for your (mostly negative) comments. I will prob. expand it and include the copy to clipboard thing. But you can find the updates and stuff at: http://zabproductions.yolasite.com/mouse-finder

if anyone ever gets intrested.

Thanks for that! I always make that mistake.
I used to have a some code that converted 2D mouse coordinates to 3D, but I've since lost it!

dbPickScreen with mouse coordinates then use the vector commands and add it to the cameras current position.

I doubt this would be useful in the above program though.

AlexI,

dbPickScreen is in DGDK. I'm sure you know it's just simply Pick Screen in DBPro The use the Get Pick Vector X/Y/Z commands

Been a long time since I used DbPro, I could never go back to it, I hate BASIC syntax. But it did teach me a lot at the time

Yeah! I just figured it out! I added the write to clipboard feature (press upkey). Enjoy.
