Mouse implemented with numeric keyboard clicks through GUI

[Baro]

I'm adding the choice of using the numeric keyboard as a mouse. 7, 8, 9, 4, 6, 1, 2 and 3 move the mouse in the 8 directions. 5 is processed as a left click and Enter as a right click.

(in the on_key_press function, which I moved after the on_mouse_clic section for token definition issues)

Code: ags

  if (keycode==372) mouse.SetPosition(mouse.x, mouse.y-5);   //8
  if (keycode==380) mouse.SetPosition(mouse.x, mouse.y+5);   //2
  if (keycode==375) mouse.SetPosition(mouse.x-5, mouse.y);   //4
  if (keycode==377) mouse.SetPosition(mouse.x+5, mouse.y);   //6
  if (keycode==371) mouse.SetPosition(mouse.x-5, mouse.y-5); //7
  if (keycode==373) mouse.SetPosition(mouse.x+5, mouse.y-5); //9
  if (keycode==379) mouse.SetPosition(mouse.x-5, mouse.y+5); //1
  if (keycode==381) mouse.SetPosition(mouse.x+5, mouse.y+5); //3
  if (keycode==376) on_mouse_click(eMouseLeft);              //5
  if (keycode==13)  on_mouse_click(eMouseRight);             //Enter

But when the mouse is over the GUI and I press 5 (left click), it detects it as if there were no GUI and I clicked on the background (i.e: the character walks to that spot even if mouse is over a button). When I actually click the GUI with the mouse, it processes it as a click on the GUI (nothing happens in background, buttons work, etc) since the GUI is set as clickable.
How do I make this artificial keyboard mouse actually click the GUI?

Also, I don't know if I'm going to add functionality to the mouse wheel, but if so, I'd use the - and + keys. What are their ASCII codes/where can I find a more complete list than the one in the help? (or I can only pass those in on_key_press?)

Code: ags

  int move_by=5;
  int k=keycode-371;
  if (k>=0 && k<11 && k%4!=3) {
    mouse.y-=(k/4+1)*move_by;
    mouse.x+=(k%4-1)*move_by;
  }

  if (k==5) left_click();
  ...

Afaik, on_mouse_click isn't called if the mouse is over a clickable GUI. It's not possible to invoke a left click directly, you'll have to manually check what's at the mouse's location, going through GUIs minding their z-order & clickable property. I'm not sure if there's a way to call a button's OnClick that way, let alone clicking on the scroll buttons of listboxes and stuff like that.
After the GUIs are out of the way, it's fine to call on_mouse_click.

Wouldn't it be easier to turn on Window's built-in accessibility controls that do the same thing?

Keycodes of typable characters can be easily done in script like this:

Code: ags

if (keycode=='+') { // do stuff }

you whatever you put as on_mouse click
if (mousebutton==left) {
}

put it as mouse click left button.

That code doesn't work (the maths are incorrect, mouse.x and y are readonly (although I tried to create two variables and didn't work either), and left_click() doesn't exist)

you whatever you put as on_mouse click
if (mousebutton==left) {
}

put it as mouse click left button.

That's the first thing I tried, but it's a processclick, so it still goes through the GUI.

How do I use those controls?


Anyway, if there's no way of clicking the GUIs manually, I could add more keyboard input. For example, for the main cursors GUI, 'L' changes to look mode and so on.

Well, ok, let me be of more service to you.

Global script:
function mouse_click(Mousebutton *button) {
if (button==eMouseleft) {
ProcessClick(mouse.x,mouse.y,mouse.Mode);
}
}

//you want space to trigger left mouse click

function on_key_press(int keycode) {
if (keycode==32) {
ProcessClick(mouse.x,mouse.y,mouse.Mode);
}
}

}

ProcessClick
NOTE: This function ignores all interfaces and acts as though the point is directly visible. In other words, if the co-ordinates you pass happen to lie on a button on an interface, what actually happens will be as if the user clicked behind the interface onto the actual screen.

That's the problem, that what I wanted to do is actually click the GUI and notwhatever it's behind it.
However, I don't understand why it does click the GUIs when it actually loads on_mouse_click or processclick from an actual click from the actual mouse (although that's what it is supposed to do). That'd be the key to do this.
