Here's my code...

if GetPointerPressed() = 1
(do line of code here)
endif

(New line of code here)

It checks to see if the left mouse button is being pressed.
But how can I clear it after it's done? I need to go to my next line of code with a clear mouse, but it doesn't, and it messes up my game.

Is there any way to clear the mouse so it turns off or something? I only press it once and it doesn't clear afterwards. I need it to clear immediately after it is pressed.

maybe try something like this



but I would think you can make better use of the GetPointer* functions, without knowing exactly your doing its hard to judge but maybe a better structure to your code will avoid this problem?

I would like to 'clear the mouse cache' , I think they say.

maybe my code is faulty too, I'll check that out.

But i will definitely try your line of code..., thanks.

So you think I should put a sync() in there ? That's interesting, I might try that.

there is no mouse buffer its an event driven system, GetPointerPressed() should only return 1 or true the moment the mouse is clicked and will only be true for that single frame, GetPointerState() will return true all the time the button is down and GetPointerReleased() returns true the moment the mouse is released, in the case of Pressed and Released the true return should only register for a single frame and reset automatically on the next frame.

No you can (and you must !) only handle that with a variable flag like already shown

But if you have multiple conditions for a mouse click, you have certainly something different for each condition (position? Game state?)

May try executing the mouse not pressed conditions before the mouse pressed ones?

For example:

if GetPointerPressed() = 0
//do this
else
//do that
endif
Signature removed by mod because it's larger than 600x120... please resize and try again.
