Questions
#1

hello, can i know how to get mouse coordinate everytime mouse is hovering in game screen
my code is like this but it’s doesn’t work

function init(self)	
	msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
	msg.post("@render:", "use_fixed_projection", { near = -1, far = 1 })
end

function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == nil and action.x and action.y then
		local pos_x = action.x
		local pos_y = action.y
		label.set_text("/board#label", pos_x + ", "+pos_y)
end
end

I trying many ways in same topic in defold forum but none of this work

What happens? Do you get an error?

For a start, that’s not how you concatenate in Lua:

pos_x + ", "+pos_y

This is correct:

pos_x .. ", " .. pos_y

You haven’t said one way or another - are you getting an error? If yes, what does it say?

A few other things to check:

  • Have you added the script? If you add a print() in init(), does it show?
  • Are you actually getting any input? Add print(action_id) in on_input() to check.
  • Is the URL of the label correct?

label text

Can you see the actual label? I note you’ve set the rotation to be 146, when trying that myself it looks very squished. If you set a value in the label using the editor and stop using this script, do you see the label in your build?

#9

Can you zip up the project and share it?

#10

the file is big 23mb in average, which one you want me to upload?

#11

Looks like this issue is just in main.collection, so perhaps you can delete things like images just to share a minimal version of the project. Also delete the build folder.

#12

still big in 11mb around and can’t be uploaded

well actually when i am create gui component and create template using that gui the engine is not responding. and I force close it using windows task manager.

maybe i start the project from beginning sorry to bothering you
