Simple Mouselock [Deprecated]

Awesome! This plugin got released just in time for my 2D shooter's weapon wheel. When the weapon wheel UI pops up, I need to get mouse input even if the mouse is at the top limit of the screen. The mouse raw input did the trick. Thanks!

Cool, glad that you also found use for mouse locking in your game!

It might be worth mentioning here since I forgot to do it in the main post but this plugin doesn't support minifying.

If anyone is minifying their game on export, it will unfortunately break this plugin at the current state.

I came across 2 issues with the plugin that happens even with the example cap.

The first is that when you go into full screen, the mouse seems to be locked to the previous window size. This can be worked around by disabling the mouselock, then re-enabling it.

The second issue seems to happen randomly. When I preview your cap file, I click on the viewport to activate the mouse lock. Then if I just move the mouse around for a few seconds, the cursor will jump locations. Any chance you could look into this?

I gave it over to Armaldio a couple of days ago, these bugs are quite difficult to fix but it should be possible (hopefully).

Sorry for the late response. I will keep you posted about the progress.

Okay, i´m a bit confused.

I tried to set the plugin to "unbound" but the mouse (or at least the sprite that is bound to the mouse coordinates) is bound to the layout.

Please tell me that i´m just to dumb to use it. ^^

Here is a video.

Thx, works great now. ^^

Is there a plugin for C3 as well?

Asked Armaldio about this and he says that should be doable.

It might take a couple of days so I'd recommend subscribing to this topic to get notifications about the latest progress.

Unfortunately I'm unable to use this plugin since at random intervals it seems to read the raw mouse movement as opposite, and at a much greater speed compared to what I'm actually doing. So say I'm moving a sprite using the raw values to the right and it's reading raw X at around 2 to 9 - suddenly it will jump to the left at a raw x value of something like -280 for no apparent reason. Anyone else experiencing this?

See these logged raw values as an example:

Ah, sorry, I forgot to mention as well that this was in NW.js.

I investigated further and found this: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/6336#issuecomment-352252411 I've been on a version a few versions back, avoiding to update in case it breaks a big project of mine. Testing v0.29.0 it seems the fix has been implemented, however, everything runs at 30 fps now (was hitting 144 fps without issues before) so I'll have to do some more testing, restart my computer and maybe try v0.28.0 too. I'll update with further findings.

EDIT:

So v0.28.0 seems to be the best solution for now if you don't wanna fiddle too much. Mouse lock works and the performance is good.

I found the reason for the poor performance with v0.29.0 (Ashley and NW.js devs are aware as you can see): https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/6498

Hopefully an updated version will be available soon that doesn't require manual handling of those command line arguments.
