MouseDown proc (atom)

Format

MouseDown(location,control,params)

Args

• location: the turf, stat panel, grid cell, etc. in which the object was clicked
• control: the name of the skin control involved
• params: other parameters including mouse/keyboard flags, icon offsets, etc.; see mouse handling

This is called when a mouse button is pressed while pointing to this object.

Don’t define this unless you need it, because it generates extra communication that is otherwise avoided. Most operations can be done through Click(), DblClick(), and MouseDrop(). The other procedures are simply available for completeness.

Note

In BYOND 3.5 this procedure took three different arguments: location, icon_x, and icon_y. Since icon_x and icon_y have been replaced, old code will need to be modified. Games compiled before this change will still work normally.
