Getting mouse position

[CannonFodder100]

How might one go about acquiring the current position of the mouse in a trigger? For example, upon hitting Numpad 1, it grabs the mouse's position and either moves a point to it if necessary or simply plugs the value into another action which would create a unit at point.

Thanks, and let me know if I need to clarify.

you cant get position unless you click

Ok and how do you detect the position of the mouse after clicking?

 

[splashy5]

with the-mouse click Position X
mouse click Position Y
mouse click Position Z
Then make point from XYZ

  • Local Variables
  • Conditions
    • (Mouse X position clicked in the world) == Value 2

    • UI - Player 1 clicks Left mouse button Down.
  • Local Variables
    • Mouse X = 0.0 <Real>
    • Mouse Y = 0.0 <Real>
    • Mouse Z = 0.0 <Real>
    • Mouse Clicked Position = No Point <Point>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Variable - Set Mouse X = (Mouse X position clicked in the world)
    • Variable - Set Mouse Y = (Mouse Y position clicked in the world)
    • Variable - Set Mouse Z = (Mouse Z position clicked in the world)
    • Variable - Set Mouse Clicked Position = (Point(Mouse X, Mouse Y, Mouse Z))

Thanks, Splashy, that's exactly what I needed to know. Using that, I can set those variables and move a point or maybe actually just plug that straight into a Create Unit or whatever trigger. Perfect solution, and exactly what I needed to know.
