Mouse Tracking Question

greyfox18 — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 04:50:03 +0000

With the Max Tutorials, I see that the mouse tracking begins in the upper left hand corner of your screen.

I was curious if anybody could share a patch with me or a method of causing this tracking to be centered in the middle of the screen. This way I would be able to have it reach a max of 127 (or -127) on each side of the screen.

Thanks guys

It’s easy – start with the normal mousetracking stuff, add a split object to the mousestate object’s output to divide your screen into different areas, and then do some adding and subtracting.
