Hi I'm one of the two developers of Operation Rising Sun, which is a mod of Clonk Rage.
Now I am interested in continuing the development for Open Clonk.
It would be great if you could create a Function, that returns the Position of the Mousecursor, for example to let the clonk permantly follow the Cursor to look arround.

Thank you for reading

In OC, the last known mouse position can be retrieved by a call to

GetPlayerCursorPos(player_number)

The position is updated by any controls that have the SendCursorPos flag set. IT is *not* updated if no controls are issued.

If you want continuous updates independent of controls, register and enable a Mouse*Move control. For an example, see the Aim control in OC.

Documentation can be found here.

Thank you very much.
If we start to develop for OC I will use it.
But wouldn't it be easier to implement a little function in addition to the use of Commands?

To elaborate: The mouse position isn't transmitted at all outside of SendCursorPos controls, so the engine doesn't even have that info.

Is it already possible to have custom PlayerControl.txt in the System.c4g of scenarios?

Yes. That's how the Paint scenario works.
