Click returning pixel_x

This should be simple and obvious, but for some reason today I keep drawing a blank.

turf
     Clicker
          icon = 'Click.dmi'
          Click()
               world<<"You clicked [pixel x] pixels deep into the Clicker!"


How can I click on a turf (or any atom) and have it return how many pixels across x I clicked? Thanks a lot!

BYOND 4.0 has this built right into all of it's mouse procedures. You'll want to use the params argument. icon_x is what you're looking for.

See the skin reference for more information. Alternatively, looking up "mouse control" may help.

turf
    MouseUp(object,location,control)
        var/listy[]=params2list(control)
        world<<listy["icon-x"]

turf/Click(location,control,params)
    var/list/L=params2list(params)
    .=L["icon-x"]


MouseUp() occurs when the mouse button is released while pointing to the object, Click() is for actual clicking of an object.

eh, that code i posted was modded from a shooter game i was working on, where mouse up was more appropriate <.<
either way it works pretty much the same though
