mouse over boolean output ruby?

[Nubeat7]

hi all, just have a quick question, what's the easiest way to output a mouse over boolean in ruby?
i just used this

Code: Select all

def isInMouseArea (x,y,area)
   x1, y1 ,x2 , y2 = area
   x2 += x1
   y2 += y1
   x.between?(x1,x2) && y.between?(y1,y2)
end
def isInMousePoint(x,y)
   if isInMouseArea(x,y,@area)
       output 'mouseOver',true
       return true
   end
   output 'mouseOver',false
   return false
end

but isn't there an easier way?

Only another way, but not easier. You could activate mouse move on the mgui prim and in ruby then use

(Pseudo Code)

Code: Select all

def mouseMove x, y
    if (you're area code) then output true else output false end
end

thanks tulamide,

another question, does there exist a fast way to get the view area? something like "getViewArea" ? or do i need to use getViewSize for it..

[tulamide]

The latter. Unfortunately, no position offset is returned by any method I know of. It's always local coordinates (Top-left corner will always be [0, 0], no matter where that view is positioned within its parent.

I don't know where your question leads to, but here are some tips.

4-element-array building from getViewSize:

Code: Select all

area = [0, 0] + getViewSize

Code: Select all

area = Array.new(2,0) + getViewSize

Code: Select all

area = 0, 0, getViewSize
area.flatten!

4 objects assignment:

Code: Select all

x, y, w, h = 0, 0, getViewSize[0], getViewSize[1]

There's also the splat operator ('*'), which converts an enumerable to an argument list.

Code: Select all

view_area = 0.0, 0.0, *getViewSize

thank you, tulamide and om, so many ways to do one thing, good to see this different ways
