Getting pos. of mouseeee

[Arhowk]

I am making a trigger where u hold down the right mouse button and the unit plays the attack animation towards the mouse and shoots. the only problem is, i can only retrieve the position of the click, not the mouse, is there a way to retrieve the position of the mouse when you dont click?

I'm certain that there is, as a developer mentioned during the galaxy editor showcase that they had a 3rd person game type in which the mouse could be used to look around. I'll get back to you in a minute:

I believe this might do the trick:

(Event) Camera- Turn camera mouse rotation On for player 1

let me make myself clearer...

i need to put a point at the x,y values of the mouse

not really possible. you can only detect the pitch/yaw of a mouse. you can determine the mouse click position though

Yeah, Blizzard brilliantly decided to not allow us to track mouse position. Furthermore, you cannot force mouse clicks.

You can't use camera pitch/yaw either. It would cause your camera to jump around a lot, which would be annoying as shit when playing.

is it possible to track the mouse if the button is being held down?

is it possible to track the mouse if the button is being held down?

Check out the "Sniper 2," its in there somewhere...

Also- I now retrieve is mispelled! I was in a hurry

No, that is just using the camera pitch/yaw. It does not actually track the mouse position, it tracks the angle of the camera which is dependent on where the mouse is. This makes it rather useless for anything beyond third/first person shooters.
