Hello! Today I present click.lua a library that allows you to use the cursor, and the left mouse button. The API allows you to set a cursor image, check its position from the screen or scene, check if the mouse is clicked/held/released, and identify the mouse in squares. The cursor is a feature that I have never seen in SMBX, and I hope you can take its full advantage! I present to you some examples.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

Code: Select all

local click = API.load("click")
click.setCursor()

Example 2

Code: Select all

local click = API.load("click")
click.setCursor()

function onTick()
  if click.hold then
    click.setCursor("Goomba.png")
    NPC.spawn(1,click.sceneX,click.sceneY,player.section)
  else
    click.setCursor("click/example.png")
  end
end

Example 3

Code: Select all

local click = API.load("click")
click.setCursor("Goomba.png")
click.setCursorOff()

function onTick()
  if click.click() then
    click.setCursorOn()
    click.setCursorOff(15)
    NPC.spawn(1,click.sceneX,click.sceneY,player.section)
  end
end

Example 4

Code: Select all

local click = API.load("click")
click.setCursor()

function onTick()
  for k,v in pairs(NPC.get()) do
    v.speedX = (click.sceneX - v.x)/50
    v.speedY = (click.sceneY - v.y)/50
  end
end


Example 5

Code: Select all

local click = API.load("click")
click.setCursor()
click.setCursorOff()

function onTick()
  Text.print(click.sqrFind("example"),0,0)
  if click.sqr(click.click,0,0,800,32,"example") then
    player.speedY = -5
  end
  if click.click then
    click.setCursorOn()
    click.setCursorOff(15)
  end
end

Example 6

Code: Select all

local click = API.load("click")
click.setCursor()

function onTick()
  if math.abs(click.speedX) > 50 or math.abs(click.speedY) > 50 then
    Defines.earthquake = 5
  end
end


NOTE

In SMBX, for some reason, it has trouble identifying fast double clicks. I am not sure why but this is SMBX's fault. You can test this in the episode select menu, and see the same result.

If you see any errors, please tell me as soon as possible so I can fix them.

I liked. Depending on how you use it on one level can be quite useful since it can do several things. It can be cool for gimmicks and minigames.
