TDS : Mouse and point problem

[Freemanoid]

Hello everyone. I try to create top-down shooter. In game the cursor which is necessary follows the mouse. The player should turn after the cursor. However I have no idea how to make such thing can somebody help?

[ceriux]

your asking in the wrong catagory.

[Error]

yes, if you use darkplaces you can use the prydon client cursor.

it's quite the useful!

[ceriux]

is the cursor in Prydon only slow because of how much is going on in the mod or maybe because its always being drawn? idk i was having some issues with it being slow.

would a csqc cursor be better for a mod or one like prydons?

[Error]

up the 'sensitivity' cvar

I cannot use darkplaces because i creating game for pocket pc.

Then your job becomes a whole lot harder. It is possible to code a QC cursor without extensions by captuing player imput wth +strafe set, but it's not easy.

which of the three would be the best option for preformance?

which of the three would be the best option for preformance?

CSQC probably, followed by cl_prydoncursor, followed a very long way back by SSQC player movement capture.

[ceriux]

alrighty thanks for the info i know what ill use when i need it.

[Freemanoid]

So i need to use csqc for coding?

[ceriux]

no, its just for preformance it might look better too. mine were just personal questions.

I cannot use darkplaces because i creating game for pocket pc.

then you can't use csqc either.

tbh, support for prydon cursors would be easier to add to a pocketpc engine.

In stock quake the only way to do a cursor is to capture player movement. See non-DP Prydon Gate, or DiD2 for an example.

It's not an easy process to duplicate, and not easy to explain. How good are your QC skills?

I think my skills in qc about 4 from 10
