Summary

0003879: widget:MouseRelease() callin standalone

Description

Its not possible to catch callins of widget:MouseRelease without use of widget:MousePress at the same time in the same widget - which eats the MousePress callin for rest of the game.

Why is MouseRelease dependable on use of MousePress, but KeyRelease doesnt depend on KeyPress? Is it some speedup/optimalization?

I would like to let it work like the KeyPress/Release.

I think i can uderstand the duality (dependance) of callings, but i dont uderstand the blockade of callin for other widgets.

I think its normal situation that there are more widgets reacting on the same event. Why it is not possible here?

Steps To Reproduce

function widget:MousePress()
    Spring.Echo("Imma pressed!")
    return true
end

function widget:MouseRelease()
    Spring.Echo("Imma released!")
end

~0010958 PepeAmpere (reporter) 2013-07-04 02:32	Thx for response. Yes, i understand this - the option to catch the callin for rest of the widgets, but theres no way how to use MouseRelease without this option used. Do you plan to make MousePress/MouseRelease similar to KeyPress/KeyRelease? Is there any problem to do it this way?

My idea was to use: widget:MouseRelease() + Spring.GetSelectedUnits I want to use this units list at least in two or three new widgets.

~0010986 PepeAmpere (reporter) 2013-07-07 20:15	jk, my idea doesnt kill the ability to use it the way you described in example. There still can be an option to avoid clicks on GUI (not much different from current one), but with current setup im not able to use MouseRelease. All my responses takes in consideration what you said. I still see no problem, maybe your counterexample was not described enough.
