[Request] Better version of the Mouse Object?

[Dines]

I've noticed that the Mouse Object we currently have (by Cellosoft) isn't that great at positioning the mouse.

For example:

[events]
*Always
-[obj_mouse]Set mouse X to "100"
-[obj_mouse]Set mouse Y to "100"
-[obj_active]Set X pos to "X mouse"
-[obj_active]Set Y pos to "Y mouse"
[/events]

You'd expect that to update the position of the mouse, and it does. But if you move the mouse, you'll find it jitters - flicking back and forth between where your hand is moving it to, and where the events are holding it.

Unfortunately, so does anything that follows the X and Y Mouse parameters. So in the above example, our object will flit around the screen as well.

Am I doing something wrong, or could someone build an alternative that worked better?

I'm not too bothered about whether the cursor flickers, but the fact that it affects the X/YMouse parameters as well is a pain.

It's normal. This object is not buggy.

At each MMF loop you tell windows to set cursor position to X,Y coordinates and between each loop windows have messages from mouse to move at another position. So mouse cursor move rapidly between each positions.

To do what you want to do, use "Sphax Kernel object" (MMF2 Dev) and the function "confine cursor" and set the area to the position you want + 1pixel.

Id also like to make a mouse-related request.

Could someone make a 5-button mouse extension.
