How would one find which direction the mouse is moving at a given time?

Asked by 8 years ago

I'm trying to figure out how to find the direction the mouse is moving, and eventually narrow it down to just four options; if the mouse is going up, going left, going right, or going down. Anyone have any ideas on how this might be possible?

The easiest way to do this is like so,

-- This is in a LocalScript
wait();
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer; -- Sets player to be the localplayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse(); -- Sets mouse as the players mouse

while player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").Health > 0 do -- Just a check to see if the player is alive
    print("Mouse X: "..mouse.X..", Y: "..mouse.Y); -- mouse.X and mouse.Y return the position on screen that the mouses cursor is pointing at
    wait(0.5); -- Just a wait so it's not constantly printing it out.
end;

This script will print out the mouses location on screen every half a second. Here is a link to the wiki article for the Mouse class. Hope this helps!

Well this did help, it didn't do what I needed it to but I was able to figure it out from here. Thanks! Toadboyblue 67 — 8y

That was the plan. ;) I didn't want to just give you the answer. I wanted you to mess around with stuff while having an outline of what you needed. MrLonely1221 701 — 8y
