[JASS] replacing arrow key aiming with mouse

[dominator0]

There are some 3d shooter maps that use arrow keys to aim at target, is there a way to replace it with mouse? For example sharpshooter online, shadow hunters... i am asking for mouse aim system as in first person view. replacing arrow key aim with mouse would greatly increase gameplay of such maps, as it is impossible to aim a moving target with arrow keys, much like in PS2/PS3. Mouse had a reason to be introduced to windows.

Also sorry if this thread is in any way disrespecting rules ^^ i dont use forums much.

I am thanking for your efforts fellow members of The Hive Workshop, your work has made warcraft a better game.

Edit: Heres a picture that should explain what i mean:

This detects the left click of the mouse. It can do the job you wish to.

Nice one but that is just clicks, mouse movement is a bit different story. The mouse left click coordinates are map related not screen, however it might prove usefull. Thank you

Edit: i made this thread just to remind people what *could* be improved, im not best suited for developing such techniques, nor do i have time for it but i will be glad if this moves on and im sure a lot ofmap makers will be too =)

The reason people make abilities to aim is that warcraft cannot trace the mouse. In the RTC mod you can, but it needs a third party program. The only keys you have control of in warcraft are the arrow keys and escape, plus hotkey buttons if used through spells.

thought as much =/ ...hmm but what if you used left click drag that has the trace and use it as mouse move and then use right click as action?

Still undetectable, and RtC isn't combatible with the patch, so you might just have to wait for abit
