Going through the new commands. I already managed to guess how the g_MouseClick works, but g_MouseWheel seems to do nothing. How is it supposed to work?

Yep, this is what I done, its in its own function and it returns the counter value.

+ Code Snippet

function GetMouseWheel()
 if g_MouseWheel > 0 then
  mousewheel_counter = mousewheel_counter + 1
 elseif g_MouseWheel < 0 then
  mousewheel_counter = mousewheel_counter - 1
 end
	-- resets counter back to zero
  if g_MouseClick == 4 then
   mousewheel_counter = 0
  end  
  return mousewheel_counter;
 end

Has anyone had any luck working out the g_PlayerGunMode values?

Not hundret percent sure, but they stand for animation phases

But I need more time to test this thesis...

My dream is to develope games, which makes fun when I create it and fun when other people play it.

I think it was explained in the last twitch broadcast.

1 - left mouse button
2 - right mouse button
3 - both mouse buttons
4 - scroll wheel press

That was the second thing I tried and it has no effect at all. For diagnostics I did this:

+ Code Snippet

Prompt(g_MouseWheel)

And it just gives me 0 no matter what I do.

Hi Moshroom

If you are not seeing any values other than zero, you might not of called..
ActivateMouse() -- lua has control of the mouse

The mouse wheel scroll only gives feedback in this mode...

Maybe this is it?

Ok thanks, now it works. Weird, since g_MouseClick works even when ActivateMouse() hasn't been called. IMO it would be logical if g_MouseClick and g_MouseWheel behaved the same way.

Edit: I think the only thing ActivateMouse() should do is to show cursor and activate g_MouseX and g_MouseY. I can't think any reason to make other mouse controls not available all the time.
