I'm using the dbMouseMoveX and dbMouseMoveY to move my player. but only when I click left mouse button down. Once the button is down I want to set dbMouseMoveX and dbMouseMoveY to 0. So that my screen does not jump, can I do this?

if i understand you right, what you need to do is make the camera follow the player instead of the mouse when you click the button. That should do the trick.

Ya, this is a bit hard to explain.

Ok not sure, but if you ever played W.O.W(world of warcraft) notice you can move the mouse over the game and nothing changes in the scene. Now if you click on the environment the tracking starts. If you release you're free from disturbing the navigation. Now with most DARK Basic games(demos) once the game is started the mouse is ceased. Sort of stuck to the game, and no way to break it. Well this can be fixed by only engaging the navigation when the user clicks on the screen.

if (dbMouseClick() > 0)


Although when doing this function



the calculation is made from the position of the mouse . So clicking on the center vs the upper left would put the player facing in different locations.

The way to fix this wold be to fix the dbMouseMoveX and dbMouseMoveY to 0 at click.

but there are no set functions that I see..
Hope that helped?

You mean a command to put the mouse in the center of the screen? there should be, dont remember its name tho. Tho, you can use windows API to center the mouse.
