Modding Help Can tech lua get the mouse click event?

I want to create a teach, and when player click his mouse button, the tech will do something. But I don't know how to get the mouse click event. Can anybody help me, thanks a lot~

 

Yes, I think so.

I believe you get it like so:

Code:

function input(args)
    if args.moves["primaryFire"] == true then
      return something
    end
end

If you don't already know, the input function is a preset API function like init() and update(args).
args.moves is a table passed down to this function with various input. I believe "primaryFire" holds the mouse state. I think "altFire" is for the right mouse button.
I believe this is correct but could be wrong, though. I didn't test it to be sure, and I haven't yet done a tech mod myself. Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll check again and test some things out.

It's not really a logical or common-sense process and there doesn't seem to be any sort of documentation by the admins. As you can tell it's obviously not very mod-friendly despite that being their goal here. So I'd give you more info, but I don't have any at the moment.

As a side note, I do know you can also get the mouse's position in the update function using this: args.aimPosition. Though that's not helpful if you want a click event, I know.
And also for reference, You can collect the mouse click event in the new GUI API by using this:

Code:

function canvasClickEvent(position, button)

This one makes a bit more sense, obviously.

 

I use args.moves["primaryFire"], and it works!
Thanks a lot!~

 

No problem.
Thanks for confirming that it works.
