MouseX Int Problem

[Benton]

Hey guys,

 

I know this is not the right forum, but I have not yet payed for Leadwerks, I am getting my funds in order, and I just have a quick question. I want to see if MouseX and MouseY are more or less then a number.

 

if MouseX > 1 then

 

However it says I cannot compare a function with an integer.

 

How can I do this in LUA?

In what context are you using this - what for?

 

By the way posting here is fine! I have leadwerks yet I still use the general discussion mostly.

In onUpdate. I want to know where the mouse is on the screen, because depending on where it is something needs to happen. Oh, and how do I do concatenation in Lua?

Actually a better question is: MouseX and MouseY are "functions" and I can't do concatenation and all that stuff with them cause they are not integers or strings. So what do I do?

The answer is in the error message: 'cannot compare a function with an integer'. You are trying to compare the function and not its value, you need the brackets after the function name:

 

if MouseX() > 1
