I've never experienced the problem while playing a non-AGS game, but I'm not certain that any of the games that I've successfully used Dragon NaturallySpeaking’s "mouse click" voice command with were DirectX-based.  Can you point me to a non-AGS game that you know to be DirectX-based?

I didn't realize that it was you, Chris!  I'm new here.  While playing Infamous Adventures' Kings Quest's III remake, I discovered that the game recognized a mouse click when I issued a "mouse mark" voice command followed by a "mouse drag" voice command.  Then, I discovered that AGDI's Kings Quest's I and II remakes and DreamMaster's The Black Cauldron remake worked the same way.  The Dragon NaturallySpeaking "mouse mark" and "mouse drag" voice commands are commonly used to drag and drop.  The "RememberPoint" and "DragToPoint 1" (1 indicates left click) are the equivalent Dragon NaturallySpeaking script commands.  The "Wait" script command ensures that the drag will be from the mark point remembered immediately beforehand.  It's probably required only due to a Dragon NaturallySpeaking bug.

There are a lot of people using speech recognition software these days.  Do you think that you'll be able to implement a change that will make AGS games compatible with Windows Vista's "click that" command and Dragon NaturallySpeaking’s "mouse click" command?

You'd want to use it if you had tendinitis that was aggravated by clicking a mouse.  You should be thankful that you don't.

I've found that Windows Vista's "click that" command and Dragon NaturallySpeaking’s "mouse click" command don't work with any games that were created using Adventure Game Studio.  However, I've engineered a script that enables me to circumvent the problem.

Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking Legal, Medical, or Professional, you will be able to create voice commands that launch the scripts below.

Launching the following script will cause an AGS game to recognize a left mouse click at the current mouse position.

Sub Main

RememberPoint
Wait .001
DragToPoint 1
   
End Sub

Launching the following script will cause an AGS game to recognize a right mouse click at the current mouse position.

Sub Main

RememberPoint
Wait .001
DragToPoint 2
   
End Sub

These scripts work only when the game is run in a window; they do not work when the game is run full-screen.
