Mouse Actuator

See also

See the Python reference of this logic brick in SCA_MouseActuator.

The Mouse Actuator allows two modes of operation, to show/hide the mouse cursor or to control object rotation with the mouse. The mouse rotation is flexible enough to allow any type of mouse look as well as banking for flight controls.

Mouse actuator for Mouse Look

Mouse Actuator

Properties

Mode

Determines the mouse mode.

Visibility

Allows to show/hide the mouse cursor.

Look

Controls the object rotation according to X and/or Y mouse movement. Moreover, the object rotation can be constrained using thresholds and capping angles.

Visibility

Mouse actuator for Visibility.

Mouse Actuator: Visibility

Visibility

Toggles the visibility of the mouse cursor.

Look

Mouse actuator for Mouse Look.

Mouse Actuator: Look

Note

To make Mouse Look work in a smoother way, it is necessary that the width and height screen resolutions, in the render window, are set with even numbers (i.e. 1920x1080).

Use X axis, Y axis

X axis or/and Y axis mouse movement causes the rotation of the object.

Sensitivity

The necessary amount of rotation caused by mouse movement along the X and Y axis.

Threshold

Amount of movement from the mouse required before rotation is triggered.

Min

The minimum angle of rotation caused by mouse movement along the X axis and Y axis in degrees.

Max

The maximum angle of rotation caused by mouse movement along the X axis and Y axis in degrees.

Object axis X, Y, Z

The object’s 3D axis to rotate with the mouse movement.

Local

Rotation caused by mouse movement along the X axis and/or Y axis is local.

Reset

Reset the cursor’s X/Y position to the center of the screen space after calculating.
