display_mouse_sim

Minimalistic mouse automation functions.

Functions

• display_mouse_button_press(button)
  Presses the given mouse button (analogous to keyboard_key_press)
• display_mouse_button_release(button)
  Releases the given mouse button (analogous to keyboard_key_release)
• display_mouse_button_check_direct(button)
  Checks if the given mouse button is currently held down (analogous to keyboard_check_direct)
• display_mouse_wheel_scroll(amount)
  Sends a scroll wheel event.
  Usually, amount of 120 is one scroll up and -120 is one scroll down, but you may find that many applications don't actually care about amount at all, only the direction.

Supported mouse buttons are mb_left, mb_right, and mb_middle.

Example

Create:

left_down = 0;

Step:

var left_prev = left_down;
left_down = keyboard_check_direct(vk_shift);
if (left_down && !left_prev) display_mouse_button_press(mb_left);
if (!left_down && left_prev) display_mouse_button_release(mb_left);

if (keyboard_check_direct(vk_lalt)) display_mouse_wheel_scroll(120); // up
if (keyboard_check_direct(vk_ralt)) display_mouse_wheel_scroll(-120); // down

This would allow you to press the left mouse button by pressing Shift and scroll up/down by pressing Left Alt and Right Alt accordingly.
