im not really a newcomer but this is just a basic question so im posting here. i know how to use input from the mouse using mouseclick() but i cant work out how to use input from the mousewheel. this does not include pressing the actual mousewheel button as i can use mouseclick() for that. i need to know how to scroll the mousewheel. it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could point me in the right direction

There are two commands that you might use...

return value=MouseZ()
return value=MouseMoveZ()

so if you want to find out if the user pushed or rolled the Mouse Weel up try something like...

If MouseMoveZ()>0 Then [Your Code]

Down Would Be...

If MouseMoveZ()<0 Then [Your Code]

And Not Moving It Would Be...

If MouseMoveZ()=0 Then [Your Code]

Well... I hope that helps...

ok well ive kinda hit a brick wall here. i tried implementing mousemovez() into my code but it wouldnt work properly. Whenever i have a lot of trouble with code i take out the bit thats troubling me and modify it a bit in a seperate project until i get it working then put it back in my original project. so i basically did that here and came up with the following code.

im realy stuck with this stuff. what happens when i run it is that it only seems to detect the first if condition, if mousemovez()<0, and not the second one, if mousemovez()>0. i know this for certain because if i switch the ifs around it still detects the first one only.i also tried replacing mousemovez with mousemovex and that has the same effect. ive been looking over my code and i think the only thing that could be the problem is that im not totally certain about how to use the mousemove command properly. maybe theres something i dont know about the command?

help would be appreciated again

done it! i think theres a bug or something where using mousemovez() more than once results in it all ways equalling 0 or something but anyway this works


hope it helps!!

yea i worked that out as well. i think whats happening is that when you do anything that involves mousemovez() or, come to think of it, mousemovex() or mousemovey(), that value resets to zero. so in the snippet i posted, the first if condition set mousemovez to 0 after it was checked.
