how to get absolute mouse coordinates

[selmiak]

I want the exact room coordinates where a mouseclick happens and mouse.x for example only gives me the screen coordinates and not the room coordinates. What do I use? GetAtRoomXY doesn't help as it just tell what is there but doesn't give the coordinates.

I think checkout

GetViewportX() and GetViewportY()

with (GetViewportX()+mouse.x) it works, thanks barefoot

strange that there is no native expression for this...

Well you could write some custom functions pretty easily:

Code: ags

int RoomXToScreenX(int x)
{
  return (x - GetViewportX());
}

int RoomYToScreenY(int y)
{
  return (y - GetViewportY());
}

int ScreenXToRoomX(int x)
{
  return (x + GetViewportX());
}

int ScreenYToRoomY(int y)
{
  return (y + GetViewportY());
}
