Can't Assign Mouse Position to an Attribute

GoodCaptBlake

Happy Holidays, all!

I have been attempting to set the value of an attribute to the mouse position attribute, but the value of the attribute always reads as "0" afterward. I have tried this with both integer and real attributes, and have even tried using the raw mouse position (of which I'm still not sure of the difference).

Ex: Change Attribute: game.x To: game.mouse.position.x

Is there something peculiar to this example or am I missing something fundamental about assigning values to Attributes?

Did you type attribute's names by hand, or did you choose them from the list (in Change Attribute behavior)?

. . . the value of the attribute always reads as "0" afterward.

After what ?

@GoodCaptBlake Hi, you need a condition of some sort in this case to trigger it into action, so try this:

Rule: When mouse button is up ----or down if you prefer
Change Attribute: game.x To: game.mouse.position.x

. . . after assigning the value of the mouse position to the attribute . . .

How are you doing this ?

I think the confusion (for me at least) is that you are not telling us anything about the process, only that the process you are using doesn't work.

A screen shot of the offending rules would be cool.

Gyroscope: Thank you! That works perfectly. And not surprisingly, there will always be a triggering event when I need to retrieve the value.

Socks: Thank you again for input.

Glad you sorted it !
