Mouse input

[raistlin969]

Is there a way to get mouse coordinate information through an event handler.  For instance, if I have a canvas hosted in a window, can I get the x,y values of where the mouse button was pressed in the window.  I saw that there are keyboard sensors, but I could not find anything for the mouse. I am kind of slow so maybe I am just missing something obvious.  Thanks.

You can use the sio (system io) package. For example in the OnMouseDownLeft handler of the canvas you can write:

sio.getMouseX(event)

to get the mouse x-coordinate with respect to the lower left corner of the canvas. You can also pass any other GUI object or nil to get coordinate in screen space. This package is not yet properly documented but you can also get mousewheel and keyboard state from there.

Great, that is what I will do.  Thanks for the quick reply.
