i often find it usefull to make a variable that stores the "last loop click", the status of the mouse on the previous game loop. is this a good idea? does anyone else do it? are there better ways to see if the mouse has just been pressed this loop, but hasn't been held down?

ShadowCentaur 2,

Truly, I cannot figure a reason to check, when a mouse button is clicked, if it has been held pressed before hand. If you have a program which will activate code A upon a mouseclick, then code A will be activated upon the first click of it. This rids the reason for checking if the mouse button was held down previously. This is because if it was held down on the last loop and some odd loops before, this means that code A would have also been activated on those loops.

In conclusion, this is tough to explain and I hope you have understood what I am trying to say.

thanks blanky. i was working on making something, like in AOE or starcraft, where you can click to "drop" the corner of the box in one place, and drag the other corner to another location, then release to achieve desired effect. i was having trouble making the program tell the difference between having just clicked and having held it down dragging the box around for a while
