any key doesn't recognize mouse click

Post by Willy Elektrix »

I have several scripts with "wait for key" in them. They work fine with the keyboard or gamepad, but they don't seem to respond to mouse clicks. I have all the mouse control bitsets turned on. What am I missing?

According to the dictionary:

any key
# Any keyboard key or joystick button (including joystick left/right/up/down),
# and also any mouse button if "'any key', etc, include mouse clicks" is turned on in
# the Mouse Controls menu.

You're sure that specific bitset is turned on?

That bit (in the Mouse Controls menu) is new in Gorgonzola, BTW. It's off by default in existing games.

Well nice to see it get used; so often when I add a feature someone needed they already found a workaround anyway.

Prifurin suggested that that bit should be on by default (in new games), after wasting time wondering why "wait for key(any key)" didn't work, due to not knowing about that setting. So that's two people recently who tripped over it. I'm not sure. Any opinions?

I think on by default in new games is a good idea for that.
