How to make a touch screen

[carmaniac]

Well, this is for all of those people who keep asking how to make a touchscreen using crazyninjaguy's mouse module and dualscreen.
Which I can't link the Mouse module as you have to find it over at planetdev.net.

Well, for those who have his two scripts this is what you need to do.
To make a menu have the mouse function you need to find the loop do of the script and then do this following script:

Mouse.mouse_in_area?(x,y,width,height)

That code there sets up the area of where the mouse is going to be expected.
the x,y are the co-ordinates of where the area is located while the width and height is the area size.
For example:

Mouse.mouse_in_area?(30,30,100,100)

That's an example of a button area for instance.
The structure needed for the button to work would be this:

Mouse.mouse_in_area?(30,30,100,100)
if Mouse.click?(1)#left mouse button
do stuff# This is where you put all of the commands you want to happen
end # ends the check for the left mouse button being clicked
end# ends the check for the mouse being in a certain area.

Well that's all that's really needed to be known about the mouse script.
I will only help those who make an effort to learn :P.

Thanks for this.
A question for this: Mouse.mouse_in_area?(x,y,width,height)
Does width,height mean teh width and height from the Picture?

D: you have opened new things for the community, I can't believe you're handing them this.

Now is this version 1, 2, or 3?

Shhh... Poeman XD. If I was giving the community something it would be this:
An script base to making an touchscreen menu although I'm not revealing exactly how to call the script and keep it on the screen :P. That is for those determined game maker enthusiasts. And at the moment version 1.

class Window_Menu < SpriteWindow_Base
  def initialize
    @sprites = {}
    @sprites[""] = Sprite.new
    @sprites[""].x = 
    @sprites[""].y = 
    @sprites[""].z = 
    
  end
  def dispose
    
  end
  def refresh
    if Mouse.mouse_in_area?(x,y,width,height)
      if Mouse.click?(1)
        
      end
    end
    
  end
end

No one, I just felt like posting something like this seeming as only a few people knew how to do it.

[zingzags]

may i ask if i put the co-ordinates in the top left corner of where i want?

Mouse.mouse_in_area?(co-ordinate-x,co-ordinate-y, height i think,and width i think of the button)

 

[Pichuichu]

no that but do i make the co-ordinates the top left corner of the button?

 

[zingzags]

no that but do i make the co-ordinates the top left corner of the button?

Ya from the top left corner of the very top screen which is (0,0), then lets say u want a button on the bottom screen 20 pixels from each part.
sense there is a top screen and if you are using the spacer thing the start of the bottom screen will be (0,340)

and to make the button 20 pixels apart use (20,360)
