View source for EVENT PROCESSINPUT

EVENT_PROCESSINPUT is a [[EDuke32_event_list|Game Event]].

This [[event]] is called when the game processes input from the player. It can be used with [[getinput]] to check for particular button presses.


This can be used to completely prevent the player from using the mouse or other analogue devices to look around (for in-game cutscenes and such):

<pre>
onevent EVENT_PROCESSINPUT
	getinput[THISACTOR].avel turning
	getinput[THISACTOR].horz mouselook

	ifvarn turning 0 setinput[THISACTOR].avel 0
	ifvarn mouselook 0 setinput[THISACTOR].horz 0
endevent
</pre>

This example will completely prevent the player from turning around or looking up/down with the mouse.
