I'm just trying to make a simple movement code. That when something is clicked it is selected and on DoubleClick it moves on a spot. But can't get the loc of the target.

Or I could use Click to select a unit and use the buttons to move the unit.

Allright what I'm trying to do is click on a unit and move it to a spot when I doubleClick.

I've though and coded some approaches but they are ineficient

I've thought of the atom/Click.
My situation is that I don't want o use turfs. I mean, I need a variable that holds the location I click on.

Check out the lib Click2Move

Isn't the location var already there?
Jun 21 2013, 4:21 am
yeah but the location var is being provided by a turf. I mean the unit moves to the turfs loc. What I'm saying is it possible in the byond enviroment to get the loc of a click without using an atomic object?
For example to get the loc just by clicking, not on an object.

This will give you a location without necessarily needing a click. As it is though, you could just store the turf's loc in your variable instead.

client
    Click(O)
        if (unitSelected)
            targetLocation = O.loc // Or just O
        else
            ..()

That library was exactly what I needed thanks for your help! The thing is I don't have turfs, if I use turfs I'll have other complications. Otherwise I'd take the loc out of the turf.

I said the exact same thing in my head.
