Hello,

I'm programing on a 3D retro levels player open library.
It works on Windows and Ubuntu.
But i have a problem on Macbook Air trackpad.
Same thing if i connect a mouse.

The problem is with these commands : SetRawMousePosition() / GetRawMouseX() / GetRawMouseY().

I use SetRawMousePosition(GetVirtualWidth() / 2.0, GetVirtualHeight() / 2.0) to reposition the mouse at center.
And when the player move the mouse to look around, i substract it from GetRawMouseX() / GetRawMouseY(), to get MouseMoves.
Sadly, after a needed simple click on mac screen, the player mouse moves has no effect.

Have you any working piece of code to solve my problem ?
(The 3D FPS Example, with the click needed anytime is not what i need)

I've attached my program, at this time.

SetRawMousePosition( x, y )

from the help file
Description
Attempts to position any mouse pointer used on this platform. Not guaranteed to work on all platforms. Will only work whilst your app window has focus.

all of the raw commands are machine and OS specific and should only be used if you can guarantee them to work
on your target audience device otherwise you should use these commands to ensure compatability

Ok. But is there a solution found by someone, to make a simple FPS player ? A simple source code ?

Theres isn't a way of setting the mouses position but there is the following
GetPointerX()
GetPointerY()

which should work fine with your airpad

The way is far from GetPointerX() / GetPointerY() to a working 3D FPS camera.
Any help ?

( Or i will rename you TJC (the jokes creators) )

May be is it difficult to say the truth : you can't use GetPointerX() / GetPointerY() to make a real FPS ?

that's what I answered

and if you look at this thread https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/222027
in particular the post "A small random 3D world of fractals and Kaleidoscopes"
you will find one of the many solutions across the forums
If you comment out all the SetRawMousePosition() it will work quite well as for your rudeness I wont help with it anymore
