Get mouse location from MouseEntered()

ID:155044

Normally, i would refer to the library for this, but I am currently on a network which will not allow me to access the pager, and therefore open the library.

How would I go about returning the exact location of the mouse (by pixel) as MouseEntered() is called?

Edit - Ok, i'm getting the screen_loc as one variable using params2list(), how would I separate the individual values, so instead of coordinates=="23:28,12:14", I'd like to get:
ix=23
px=28
iy=12
py=14

Anyone mind helping me out?

Well since byond MouseEntered() only updates when it enter a tile.
Well get the params and pass it to a list. and get the screen-loc.

proc

    parseScreenLoc(screenLoc)
        . = new/list(4)

        var/index = 0

        for(var/relation in global.split(screenLoc, ","))
            var/offsets[] = global.split(relation, ":")

            for(var/offset = 1 to 2)
                .[++ index] = (offsets.len >= offset) ? text2num(offsets[offset]) : 0

    split(text, with = " ")
        var/array[] = new, position

        for()
            position = findtext(text, with)

            if(position)
                array += copytext(text, 1, position)
                text = copytext(text, position + lentext(with))
                continue

            return array + text

// Example:

var/const
    ix = 1
    px = 2
    iy = 3
    py = 4

mob/Login()

    var/parsed[] = global.parseScreenLoc("23:28,12:14")
    src << "ix is [parsed[global.ix]]"
    src << "px is [parsed[global.px]]"
    src << "iy is [parsed[global.iy]]"
    src << "py is [parsed[global.py]]"


i made this for u

Thanks - It was the split command I needed - I'd been trying to find something like that.
