wouldnt it make sense for char callbacks to be used instead cus it would support a larger range of k
wouldnt it make sense for char callbacks to be used instead cus it would support a larger range of keyboard inputs?
L:itdepends:
Lthat emoji isnt in here rip
Lchar inputs are meant for text boxes
Lkey inputs are meant for game actions
Lsuch as "move right" or "pause" or "choose item slot 2"
Fah okay
Fhow do i set the position of a cursor
Lmouse?
Fwym
Ldo you mean a mouse cursor?
Foh yeah
Fim using glfw
Lwhat reason do you need to?
Fi wanna make a function that lets me set the position of a cursor
Fso that
Fwell just to learn
Lah, it's somewhere in the glfw docs
Lit can do so iirc
Fyeah im looking but
Fi can only find like setting callbacks and stuff
AglfwSetCursorPos iircFwhen im detecting the scroll wheel what happens is if i move it lets say up
Fand then let go
Fits still gonna keep counting it as up
Fso is there any way to prevent that
Fso that it goes back to 0,0 when i stop scrolling up
Ano? the scroll callback is called when the wheel is scrolled and just returns the offset since the last time the callback was called
so it resets itself
so it resets itself
Fcan i somehow check if a certain input event is called during a frame
Frather than having a callback thing
Fare the input callbacks called every frame if i hold down that input
Lthis feels quite easy to test
Fso its not every frame
Fim so stuck on this bit
Finstead of a callback method to an input event is there not any way to test with an if statement
Fi cant find anything in the documentation
Ayou can do something like glfwGetKeyDown (idr the actual name, something like that) to check if a single key is held
apart from that, no, but it's really not that complex to deal with
apart from that, no, but it's really not that complex to deal with
Fim still trying to do it with the scoll wheel
Fi have a vector with the direction the scroll wheel is moving in
Amy system takes the callbacks and converts it into a system where you can use an if statement
Fbut its only updated when the callback is called
Fso iif someone moves the scroll wheel down
Fand then leaves it
Fthe callback will never be called again
Fso the vector will always be
0, 1Fso thats inaccurate data
Hunless you change it back after you process the move
Ayou really need to try and figure this stuff out on your own
we can't help you every step of the way here
we can't help you every step of the way here
Athis is really quite a simple problem to solve
Fim sorry but ive been trying since 7pm yesterday
