IS there a way to map mouse?

[Harlikwin]

Is there a way to map the map the mouse functionality onto one of the front throttle switches? I don't recall the name but the one with the clicky middle button. I'd rather use that to flip switches than take my hand off the throttle.

If you mean can you left and right click, then you can. Where you select the aircraft (on the left) go all the way down to UI Layer. It'll be in there.

[Harlikwin]

Well, I mean instead of using the mouse entirely so using the collie hat (little mini-stick up on the front) to move the mouse cursor, and then clicking.

Are u using the TARGET Script Editor? If so the code below will make the mini stick operate the mouse. You will still need to assign Left, Right, Scroll up, and Scroll Down, from the UI_Layer to buttons on the Warthog.

 

 

MapAxis(&Throttle, SCX, MOUSE_X_AXIS, AXIS_NORMAL, MAP_RELATIVE);
SetSCurve(&Throttle, SCX, 0, 10, 0, 0, -4);
MapAxis(&Throttle, SCY, MOUSE_Y_AXIS, AXIS_REVERSED, MAP_RELATIVE);
SetSCurve(&Throttle, SCY, 0, 10, 0, 0, -4);

 

 

The Button name is "SC". Hope that helps.

Actually im not using it, just straight up mapping the stick in dcs. If thats the only way ill look into mapping it that way tho.

[SGT Coyle]

There's no way that I'm aware of, to map a mouse axis in DCS.

[Harlikwin]

Ok thanks.

 

Where do i put that file in target?

[SGT Coyle]

The code below is a TARGET .tmc file. It is a template I use to start all my scripts for my various Modules. It already has 90% of the code you need to create a fully functional script for Mod. All the TMWH buttons are scripted but not assigned. To assign a key, uncomment the appropriate line and enter your desired key, as described in the Editor Manual.

I've also put in handy generic copy and paste lines in easy to reach locations.

 

1. Create a new file in TARGET SE
   
2. Copy and Paste that into Editor window OVERWRITING what is there by default
   
3. Save as a .tmc
   
4. Compile and run
   
5. In DCS controls setion you will have to map your Joystick, Throttles, and Friction Lever Axis's under "Thrusmaster Virtual Controller" column.
   

The Slew stick is mapped as mouse axis already. You will see it move in Windows. It is a bit sensitive. Check the Script Editor Manual on how to adjust it.

 

You will also need to assign buttons to Left and right mouse buttons, as well as Scroll Up/Down in the UI_Layer in DCS.

 

I hope this helps and welcome to Editor Scripting.
