Hi!
When I play, I´m always aim in the center of the screen. But I would like to have a static screen so I can move my gun around without having the 3D-world moving. Is there a way to do this?

Don't think that's possible sorry.
A static screen maybe possible but the sights will always be in in the middle
Unless someone knows different ?

Replace the cursor with your own sprite and place it at the mouse position

Check out the scripts forum, that's where you will find the answers you seek Grasshopper.

I'd start with the first two sticky threads if I were you.

There's an example of taking over mouse control you could start with.

Best to upload videos to Youtube as Unlisted and then share their link with us. Cause i'd rather not download a 30+MB file.

To answer your question, yes its possible in theory. This would however require a lot of LUA programming. You'd also need to some how detect enemies/targets based on where your custom cursor is on the screen and possibly override the gun controls or avoid them completely and rewrite your own in LUA. It would not be an easy task.

Aha, I see now.

So if the hardware uses the standard DX mouse inputs then in theory GG would pick that up as an x,y screen position plus a mouse button press. Assuming that bit all works correctly then yes what you want to do is doable.

You would need to use the same mechanism for mouse detection as used in small's inventory script and on mouse 'click' use the x,y mouse coordinates to work backwards and calculate what object is 'targetted'.

That final bit will not be a walk in the park btw, you will need to calculate, based on current field of view setting, what the 3D vector should be based on the x,y values, then project a ray in 3D space from the player to detect which object, if any, is hit.

Edited to add: This is something I would be quite happy to help you out with assuming I could get access to the hardware, do you have a link to it?

Edited to add: Found the device, bit expensive and no technical details on the link I found so I can't tell whether it would work with GG, I'm guessing the answer is probably no.

You were right. The mouse did not work in the Standalone game. Have to try the coding above.
Cheers
