Making the mouse click.

Garry's Mod coding
#1

Hi,

I am currently making a mod so that i can use my wired xbox 360 contoller in gmod. I have already made it do that i can move the mouse in the spawnmenu using the left thumbstick but now i need to know how to make it actually click. I was thinking of finding out what panel you where hovering over and then just calling the DoClick function, but i can’t figure out how to get the panel i am hovering over. Any help?

Also if anyone knows a way to freeze the player client side that would also be much appreciated at the moment i am doing it sever side but i would like to be able to use it on any server. Player:Freeze() does not work even though it says it is shared on the wiki.

What happens if you run +attack?

Also, for freeze, you could maybe do something with User Commands and CreateMove mixed with PlayerBindPressed. Unsure how you would actually go about it, though.

#3

The player attacks but it does not click the mouse

#4

You mean made with Wire or Normal joystick? Oo

If you mean real joystick, I think about this:
Get the key command from the joystick and then bind it to +attack1

#5

If i just bind it to attack then it does what it says on the tin it attacks it does not click the mouse on the vgui panel.

#6

it would be better if u just made a module

#7

I know a friend wanted to click in menus with lua (for an assmod autoclicker, hp spammer) and ended up making a c# programm… not very optimistic but hey maybey you get it to work.

#8

errm cant you just map the buttons with the controller software?

#9

I don’t know c++ or c# so I can’t make a module. If someone would be so kind as to do it for me :slight_smile: I would be very grateful.

#10

Sorry to bump after only 6 hours but i really need an answer to this.

#11

Well
You could check the Active Panel somehow. And then check if youre under it. But I really dont know how. xD

#12

Yea I wish there was a function to get what panel the mouse is hovering over. I was trying to see how tooltips do it but I could not figure it out.

#13

[lua]
/---------------------------------------------------------
Name: gamemode:GUIMouseReleased( mousecode )
Desc: The mouse has been released on the game screen
---------------------------------------------------------/
function GM:GUIMouseReleased( mousecode, AimVector )

hook.Call( "CallScreenClickHook", GAMEMODE, false, mousecode, AimVector )

end

/---------------------------------------------------------
Name: gamemode:GUIMouseReleased( mousecode )
Desc: The mouse was double clicked
---------------------------------------------------------/
function GM:GUIMouseDoublePressed( mousecode, AimVector )
// We don’t capture double clicks by default,
// We just treat them as regular presses
GAMEMODE:GUIMousePressed( mousecode, AimVector )
end[/lua]
from base/gamemode/cl_init.lua

Does this really emulate a click? For me, it just looks like calling hooks.

#15

He was just showing the code inside the file:

http://luabin.foszor.com/code/gamemodes/base/gamemode/cl_init.lua#146

#16

well i’ve been mucking about with it and if i do:

[lua]
GAMEMODE:GUIMousePressed( 107, LocalPlayer():GetCursorAimVector() )
[/lua]

It clicks but it does not click on the open vgui. I can tell because when i have the toolgun out and press a it is shooting the toolgun where i have clicked on the screen. As it would if you have the context menu open.

#17

Just to answer to this person:
He means an xbox controller that has a wire.

#18

Yea sorry about any confusion there.

#19

I Still need help if anyone can.

#20

I’ll try to slap together a module for you.
