Hello, I am trying to solve the below problem for two days straight now.
my cursor is not colliding with any game object and I tried to debug.
the message.id and message.group is always nil.
print("Clicked", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y)
--->Clicked nil nil 97.5 297.5You need to show more of your code and your project. How do you handle drag and drop? Where is that print() used?
here is the controller script
function init(self)
if not go.get("#cursor", "acquire_input_focus") then
self.forward_input = true
msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
end
cursor.listen(msg.url("#cursor"), cursor.DRAG_START, function(message_id, message)
print("drag")
-- prevent dragging of blue aliens
if message.group == hash("blue") then
print("prevent")
return true
end
end)
end
function on_input(self, action_id, action)
if self.forward_input then
msg.post("#cursor", "input", { action_id = action_id, action = action })
end
end
function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
if message_id == cursor.OVER then
print("Cursor over", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y)
elseif message_id == cursor.OUT then
print("Cursor out", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y)
elseif message_id == cursor.PRESSED then
print("Pressed", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y)
elseif message_id == cursor.RELEASED then
print("Released", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y)
elseif message_id == cursor.CLICKED then
print("Clicked", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y)
elseif message_id == cursor.DRAG_START then
print("Drag started", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y)
elseif message_id == cursor.DRAG_END then
print("Drag ended", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y)
elseif message_id == cursor.DRAG then
print("Drag", message.id, message.group, message.x, message.y, message.dx, message.dy)
end
end
and here is the card script (attached to the thing i want to drag)
local cursor = require "in.cursor"
local function shake(self)
go.cancel_animations(".", "scale.x")
go.cancel_animations(".", "scale.y")
go.set_scale(self.initial_scale)
local scale = go.get_scale()
go.set_scale(scale * 1.2)
go.animate(".", "scale.x", go.PLAYBACK_ONCE_FORWARD, scale.x, go.EASING_OUTELASTIC, 0.8)
go.animate(".", "scale.y", go.PLAYBACK_ONCE_FORWARD, scale.y, go.EASING_OUTELASTIC, 0.8, 0, function()
go.set_scale(self.initial_scale)
end)
end
function init(self)
self.initial_scale = go.get_scale()
-- msg(".","acquire_input_focus")
end
function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
if message_id == cursor.OVER then
self.over_pos = go.get_position()
go.set_position(vmath.vector3(self.over_pos.x, self.over_pos.y, 1))
go.animate("#face_sprite", "tint.w", go.PLAYBACK_ONCE_FORWARD, 1.5, go.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.1)
elseif message_id == cursor.OUT then
local pos = go.get_position()
go.set_position(vmath.vector3(pos.x, pos.y, self.over_pos.z))
go.animate("#face_sprite", "tint.w", go.PLAYBACK_ONCE_FORWARD, 1, go.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.1)
elseif message_id == cursor.PRESSED or message_id == cursor.RELEASED then
shake(self)
print("shake")
end
end
as you can see i copied the same code as the example you guys provided
And how have you configured the cursor collision objects and the cards? What are their types, group and masks?
cursor over and cursor out do not print on the console as well. I am struggling too much to solve this. please help
Step one is to enable Physics debugging:
This will visualize the collision objects and also show interactions between them.
But what I believe is happening is the fact that the group and mask of the cursor is “default” while the card collision object is of group “card” with mask “cursor”. You need to have a matching and opposite setup for the cursor. The cursor should be of group “cursor” and it should mask against “card”. More info here:
Did you change the group/mask of your cursor?
yes
Not in sync how?
Can you share the project? Either here as a zip file or send it to bjorn@defold.se

The “problem” is that you are using RenderCam but you are not providing a correct translation from mouse position to world position for your cursor. This is mentioned in the cursor documentation:
You need to forward converted coordinates. Disable the “acquire input focus” checkbox of the cursor.script and update your controller.script like this:
local rendercam = require "rendercam.rendercam"
function init(self)
msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
end
function on_input(self, action_id, action)
local pos = rendercam.screen_to_world_2d(action.x, action.y)
action.x = pos.x
action.y = pos.y
msg.post("#cursor", "input", { action_id = action_id, action = action })
end
okay thanks
