Mouse Input Issues

[Silvo]

Howdy! I am a little concerned right now. It is probably my code, but I just want to check. Do any of you also get extra occurances of mouse clicking? (specifically, I right-click the mouse and hold it down, and it looks like the HMInput component keeps sending out Mouse Click messages to the OnClick event, in other words i press the mouse once, but whilst I'm holding it down, my game thinks it is getting new clicks all the time). Do you get this, or is something dodgy in my source code? (Well, obviously you don't know what my source code is, but you get the gist.)

are you for sure calling the mouse clicked and not the mouse held event? they are two very different things

I'm positive. What I want to happen is when you hold down the right mouse button, and move the mouse, the camera rotates. This currently happens, but I also want the camera to zoom out a little when you first right-click. But what is happening is that the zoom-out code is constantly executed -- even though I'm holding the button down. I have triple-checked that the code is in the OnClick event, so now I'm worried that there's something wrong with the HMInput code.

Figured this one out by the way. The CheckPressedState function was wrong (oops!). Here's the new code for it:

        internal static HMPressedState CheckPressedState(ButtonState currentState, HMPressedState lastState) {
            if (currentState == ButtonState.Pressed) {
                if (lastState == HMPressedState.Pressed || lastState == HMPressedState.Held) {
                    return HMPressedState.Held;
                } else {
                    return HMPressedState.Pressed;
                }
            } else {
                if (lastState != HMPressedState.Released && lastState != HMPressedState.Idle) {
                    return HMPressedState.Released;
                }
            }

            return HMPressedState.Idle;
        }
 
This one is used in version  3 of the tutorials. Hope that helps.
