Digital Workshop

I want to click lclick with the mouse and then let an object to be cloned at the x and y coordianatiion of the mouse to be dragged later.

Hi

I created a sample. Is this what you are looking for?

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Excellent
Thanks for your Time.
Is there a way to let the square stick to the mouse until i click right click ?
anyway your sample is enough .

Hi

I think it would become awkward to try to do this combined with cloning, using the standard 'move object to cursor' action. When I try to add this, the original object, not its clone attaches to the cursor.

I think a script would be needed, and I can't locate the script version of this action in the script guide.

Perhaps, a Forum member with more scripting experience could create a work-a-round for this effect.

Kind Regards,

Each clone has it's own ID number that can be used to manipulate the clone. However, if you are clicking on the actual clone use 'this' to manipulate the object. For example;

this.Hide() will hide the object clicked.

As for click n grab, it's achieved using get mouse position and set object position within a endless loop, broken on right click. I've got an example of this that is part of some functions that I was supposed to upload to my website this last week, before getting side tracked. I'll try and get it finished this week and post a note.

Mack.

Thanks Stephen
you did the most of the work


Thanks mackavi

You are always helping.
we're waiting to your post

I try now to do it by
using trigger 0.01s
square.SetPosition(mouseX,mouseY)


it stick but now searching for release it

The sample I've posted does nothing with the cloning, but it shows a method of picking up an object, moving it, and upon release having it return to its original position.

Perhaps you might be able to incorporate this technique into your pub.

I use these principles to have a student pick up a pencil and mark/highlight specific words. The highlighting works only if the correct target object is selected as the pencil's target.

This example was produced, after much trial and error, by Steve H and me -- Steve did most of the work
