Hi,

Is it possible to set a function for other mouse buttons besides left, right and middle (so besides on_mouse_left, on_mouse_right, on_mouse_middle)?

Some mouses have e.g. 2 extra buttons, would be nice to make use of them for shortcuts / hotkeys.

No other buttons are in the manuals key map, try find the scan code for the buttons and writing your own check with key_pressed(scancodeX)

Cool, I will try key_pressed. thanks

If that doesn't work... You need to jump out of the 3dgs and into the winapi to achieve the goal. There are a many people here that could speak on that, I am not one of them.

Yeah it doesn't seem to work for scancode above ~280. I will check the winapi, have a little experience with it (hopefully enough ).
Anyway thanks for taking the time to reply here.

I've got a code snippet, I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: here:

Tiny but works. but remember to include windows.h.

Edit2: forgot to say: you can use it exactly like the vars mouse_left, mouse_right, etc.

better use if(GetKeyState(5) & 0x8000)
msdn says thats high order bit and its set when the key is pressed

Yeah, there are two bits used. One for pressed/not pressed and one as a button toggle (pressing the key switches between on and off)

It works very nicely, thanks! And I learned something extra about define
