Slick Forums

Hi guys!

I'm trying to do a simple drag/drop kind of thing.
I overrided the mouseDragged method, and do the x += newx - oldx;

The problem is, the mouseDragged is actually called several times on the same x;y :

From : 578;235 to 579;236
New location : 321;201
From : 578;235 to 579;236
New location : 322;202
From : 579;236 to 583;237
New location : 326;203
From : 579;236 to 583;237
New location : 330;204
From : 583;237 to 590;237
New location : 337;204
From : 583;237 to 590;237
New location : 344;204
From : 590;237 to 594;238
New location : 348;205
From : 590;237 to 594;238
New location : 352;206
From : 594;238 to 598;238
New location : 356;206

I'm assuming it's a bug, but i don't want to post one topic each day on the bug section, i would like to know if this is normal?
If it is, how the hell am i supposed to implement this??

If i consume the event apparently, it's working.
Why do I have to do this? (Moreover i would have to save the GameContainer in a variable to be able to consume the event... Not very clean)

I think it is a bug. Today I wanted to ask the same question, but I saw you posted already. You can write a workaround with mousepressed, mousemove and mouse up but it is very dirty.

EDIT: What do you mean with this:
?
I don't know if it's my english or you sentence which causes the problem

You can get the GameContainer in your class, for example in the init or enter do something like :



then on your mouseDragged do something like :

thisgc.getInput().consumeEvent();

It should solve the problem (then again it's also pretty dirty imo)
