Is it possible to detect mouse position on the screen as a point??

And if it is, is who would it react if you mouseover the interface such as abilities, inventory, status effects, damage, armor, portrait... you get what I mean.
 
I am not familiar with them, but i've read somewhere that they disable use of left/right mouse clicks and keyboard or whatnot.

true?

EDIT: read a lil more, okay, i don't like it, isn't there any other way?

What i need is to be able to detect where the cursor is at the time im casting a spell so that it knows where to cast it.
 
RTC might be able to do that. I'd think. I don't exactly have a direct link, sorry.
 
3 possible ways:
1). register clicks as event responses
you could use something like rally point or a point targeting spell. when the player is using set-rally or that spell you know where he left clicked

2). alot of trackables.
needs alot of jass and hard work for multiplayer

3). reinventing the craft
you can use reinventing the craft which will give you numerous new possibilities, however, everybody who wants to play your map needs reinventing the craft as well.

RTC might be able to do that. I'd think. I don't exactly have a direct link, sorry.

its stickyed in this forum <.<
RtC
 
Of all of those RtC is only choice that i see as a possibility, i will need to check if using it has any other consequences.

EDIT: Okay i think i will try to do it with RtC, just for the testing purposes, however I am unclear on how to "install" it? Any suggestions? I've seen the "stickied" link but it really gives no clues on how to install RtC into the New Gen. Also the note at the bottom "if you ue cJass you will have to reinstall" confuses me? reinstall what?


EDIT EDIT:
I've tried to replace my rtc folder with the one from the link provided, when i first ran it it took a little more time to load, now every time i do, it loads normally.
But I still get errors when i try to use some of the natives such as GetMouseTerrainX(), I've imported the common.j to my map and saved it.
Any suggestion on what im doing wrong?

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.

    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
