I want to see the mouse position About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

I want to see the mouse position // Feature suggestions 1  |   Order by default Post by Wigand // May 20, 2006, 9:45am Wigand Total Posts: 462 Hello I often had the need to see the position of the mouse. In 3D view or all the other views. If I move the mouse, I want to see the actual position in world units. I know, if I move an object, I see the position in the object info box. Why not the mouse? To see the number of units of the distance between two object-faces is one of my suggestions too. Post by Cayenne // May 27, 2006, 5:33am Cayenne Total Posts: 144 Hi Wigand, there is currently an object in the objects-tutorial objects Library-called object distance. it will show you the distance between objects linked up to matrix a and b connecters based on the objects centers. slightly OT a neat thing with this is you can then link the distance out to the input of another obj matrix and moving one or the other hooked objects into the distance obj will make the one linked to distance out move by the amount. Also in the Activities-Base library is an obj called mouse listener. i am not sure if this will serve the purpose you describe. I found in order the get feed back from this obj , you have to place a plane to cover your ground area or, it also works when an object is clicked in the workspace. it will show the x an y postion of the mouse pointer on click in the workspace. this may suit your purpose for now thank you Paul Post by Wigand // May 27, 2006, 5:54am Wigand Total Posts: 462 Thank you for answering If I understand you right, I have to bind two objects in LE, to see their distance. I will try it. :) Until now, I am not very familiar with the LE concept. Because it is a complex theme, and I have to translate these complicated things in my language. Indeed I wrote several VB6-programs at my job and at home, but I think I need more information about the composition of TS-scripts. Nevertheless, I believe it is the future for programs like TS.

It could be a good addition to Frank's AniMark tool though ; but it may already exist as a standalone app.
