Recording Mouse Locations

[Felix Fischer]

hi nicholas,

i realized this with an inline script:

*'log userreaction

dim x,y, counter as integer
dim xpos(), ypos() as integer

Mouse.SetCursorPos Display.XRes/2, Display.YRes/2
mouse.showcursor true

counter=0

do
x=mouse.cursorx
y=mouse.cursory
redim preserve xpos(counter)
redim preserve ypos(counter)
xpos(counter)=x
ypos(counter)=y

counter=counter+1

sleep 10
loop until (Mouse.Buttons AND ebMouseButton1)
**mouse.showcursor false


*This script sets the cursor in the middle of the screen, makes the 
cursor visible, and logs the position of the cursor every 10ms until the 
left mouse button is pressed. you just have to write down the arrays 
xpos() and ypos() to a file.

i hope this helps
