GUI inventory problems

[mätzyboy]

*EDITED*

OK, I did some debugging, and decided tor try a different method not including handling of inventory clicks in script. What I'm trying to achieve is a GUI with left double click= use, single double click = walk, right click = look. My GUI is an edited version of the original button bar, where all the buttons for changing cursor modes has been replaced by one single inventory area. When in this area I want a single left click to make the inventory item currently pointed at with the mouse to be selected.

I figured that checking weather the mouse was over a GUI or not and choosing how to interpret different clicks according to the test. My code looks like this:

function on_mouse_click(int button) {
 
    int double_click;

    if (button==LEFT) {

/*debugging code*/
               string buffer;
   StrFormat (buffer, "GUI %d", GetGUIAt (mouse.x, mouse.y));
   SetLabelText (1, 0, buffer);
     
/*check if over GUI*/
   if ((GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y))<0){

                            /* if not over GUI use on double walk on single click*/

      SetMouseCursor(GetCursorMode()); // stops wait cursor appearing
      double_click = WaitMouseKey(7)*IsButtonDown(LEFT);
      SetDefaultCursor();
      if (double_click) {
         ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_USE );
      }
      else {
         ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_WALK);
      }
        }
                /* If NOT over gui left click = use */
   else ProcessClick(mouse.x,mouse.y,MODE_USE);
    }

/*Right click is always equal to look*/   
    if (button==RIGHT) {
   ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_LOOK );

   }


The looking works fine, the walking and using outside GUI works fine. But the detection of the GUI doesnt! I added a debugging code showing the reult of the test and it seems like GUI -1 (=no GUI) is always returned from GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y)

Tips, anyone?

Is this simple enough for the beginners forum, or should i try the advanced?

You'd need the on_event () function, check the parameter GUI_MDOWN. Not every mouse click passes to on_mouse_click ().

[Ishmael]

on_mouse_click also takes LEFTINV and RIGHTINV as the if (button==...) param. You might want to try if (button==LEFTINV) works any better in the inventory handling. Place it before the if (button==LEFT) sort of codes.

Thanx both of you! Radiants tip solved my problem!
