I know that DGDK detects the first mouse button by default, but what about the second, or even third mouse button (that being the middle mouse). In ArmA, middle mouse click is almost essential to gameplay because it is pretty much your action/use button. So I was wondering, is there a way to detect second mouse, and third mouse (middle mouse) button clicks.

dbMouseClick ( ) returns the currently clicked button, so

if ( dbMouseClick ( ) == 1 ) checks whether button 1 is down
if ( dbMouseClick ( ) == 2 ) checks for button 2, etc.

but i'm not really sure what happens if two or more buttons are down at once

The values are added up:

LMB = 1
RMB = 2
LMB + RMB = 3
MMB = 4
LMB + MMB = 5
