Hi i was wondering how you would do it so that when you press right mouse the sight appears but also when you press left mouse button whilst the sight is up it will shoot.

Take a look at dbMouseClick:

+ Code Snippet

dbMouseClick 
This command will return a value if a mouse button is pressed. The integer return value will depend on which mouse button has been pressed. A mouse can have up to four buttons, and each one can be detected using this command. Each button is assigned a value. The left button is assigned a value of 1. The right button is assigned a value of 2. Buttons three and four are assigned values of 4 and 8 respectively. When more than one button is pressed, the value of the buttons are added to produce a combined value you can check for. 

Syntax 
int dbMouseClick ( void )

Here is a quick sudo-code example of what to do:

+ Code Snippet

if (dbMouseClick () == 1) { /* Display the sprite with your sight */ }

if (dbMouseClick () == 3 ) { /* Right and left mouse buttons are pressed so fire your gun */ }

------------------------------------

im doing this at the moment

+ Code Snippet

if (dbMouseClick() == 2)
{
	dbSetCameraFOV (0,20.0f);
	dbShowSprite (970);
	dbHideObject (10);
}
else
{
dbSetCameraFOV (0,62.0f);
dbHideSprite (970);
dbShowObject (10);
}

if ( dbMouseClick()== 3) 
{
dbSetCameraFOV (0,20.0f);
	dbShowSprite (970);
	dbHideObject (10);
	dbPlaySound(690);//Play gun sound
dbLoopSound(690,0,10000,0);//Loop it again and again
}
else
{
dbSetCameraFOV (0,62.0f);
dbHideSprite (970);
dbShowObject (10);
dbPauseSound(690);
}


if ( dbMouseClick() == 1)//If left mouse button is pressed
{
dbShowObject(11);//show muzzleflash
dbRollObjectLeft ( 11 , (float)(rand() % 360) );
dbPlaySound(690);//Play gun sound
dbLoopSound(690,0,10000,0);//Loop it again and again
}
else//otherwise
{
dbHideObject(11);//hide muzzleflash
dbPauseSound (690);
}
}

This stops me from even opening up the scope have you got any ideas how to fix this ? Please post

	dbShowSprite (970);
	dbHideObject (10);
}
else
{

dbLoopSound(690,0,10000,0);//Loop it again and again
}
else
{
dbSetCameraFOV (0,62.0f);
dbHideSprite (970);
dbShowObject (10);
dbPauseSound(690);
}
}

if ( dbMouseClick() == 1)//If left mouse button is pressed
{
dbShowObject(11);//show muzzleflash
dbRollObjectLeft ( 11 , (float)(rand() % 360) );
dbPlaySound(690);//Play gun sound
dbLoopSound(690,0,10000,0);//Loop it again and again
}
else//otherwise
{
dbHideObject(11);//hide muzzleflash
dbPauseSound (690);

Maybe its playing the sound over and over? try:

+ Code Snippet


if (dbMouseClick() == 2)
{
	dbSetCameraFOV (0,20.0f);
	dbShowSprite (970);
	dbHideObject (10);
}
else
{
if ( dbMouseClick()== 3) 
{
dbSetCameraFOV (0,20.0f);
	dbShowSprite (970);
	dbHideObject (10);
	dbPlaySound(690);//Play gun sound
dbLoopSound(690,0,10000,0);//Loop it again and again
}
else
{
dbSetCameraFOV (0,62.0f);
dbHideSprite (970);
dbShowObject (10);
dbPauseSound(690);
}
}

if ( dbMouseClick() == 1)//If left mouse button is pressed
{
dbShowObject(11);//show muzzleflash
dbRollObjectLeft ( 11 , (float)(rand() % 360) );
if(!dbSoundPlaying(690))
{
dbPlaySound(690);//Play gun sound
}
dbLoopSound(690,0,10000,0);//Loop it again and again
}
else//otherwise
{
dbHideObject(11);//hide muzzleflash
dbPauseSound (690);
}
}

Instead of checking if the mouseclick result is 1, 2, 4 etc you should mask the value to check for each button. For example: if ( dbMouseClick() & 0x02 ), that would be trus whenever mouse 2 is pressed, this includes when 1 and 2 are pressed etc.

Ok thanks darkcoder only one problem, when i do this :

+ Code Snippet

if ( dbMouseClick() & 0x02 )
{
	dbSetCameraFOV (0,20.0f);
	dbShowSprite (970);
	dbHideObject (10);
}
else
{
dbSetCameraFOV (62.0f);
dbHideSprite (970);
dbShowObject (10);
}

if ( dbMouseClick() & 0x01 )//If left mouse button is pressed
{
dbShowObject(11);//show muzzleflash
dbRollObjectLeft ( 11 , (float)(rand() % 360) );
if(!dbSoundPlaying(690))
{
dbPlaySound(690);//Play gun sound
}
dbLoopSound(690,0,10000,0);//Loop it again and again
}
else//otherwise
{
dbHideObject(11);//hide muzzleflash
dbPauseSound (690);
}
}

It Works fine except that the muzzle flash still shows when the sight is up so is there a way to not show the muzzle flash only when the sight is up?
