Playing around with a simple bat & ball game, the bat is mouse controlled...
It appears that once you mouse control an object, there are no "global" mouse events say like in GameMaker so I had to use the spacebar to start the ball motion instead of the mouse click that I wanted.
Or do I have to specify the bat as static and perhaps "force" the bat to follow the mouse X position within the game loop (I'd prefer to keep it simple for now since this is a question I'm asking for my wife who is just learning MMF2)
Is there a way to receive a mouse click (so I can start the ball motion that way) while an object is controlled by the mouse?
