how to detect mouse drag and mouse movement events

Hi

Is there way to listen to mouse drag or motion events? There is no motion events for for the mouse_keyboard object.

Specifically I am looking for the dx & dy values during a mouse motion event. Any idea how to detect these ?

I am trying to implement gesture detection for my game.

Any ideas how to go about this ?

thanks

Have two global variables, OldMouseX and OldMouseY. At the bottom of the event list have 'Always - set OldMouseX to MouseX, set OldMouseY to MouseY'. In the events above this, MouseX - OldMouseX is dx, MouseY - OldMouseY is dy. If either are nonzero, the mouse is moving.

Ashley - what does "MouseX - OldMouseX is dx" mean? I'm trying to set up an idle detection state

Well, I posted that about eight years ago, but I think I meant just a simple subtraction between the current mouse position and the last mouse position gives you the change.
