Mouse related Functions

Those of these which come in Get/Set pairs are combined into a single entry below.

GetMouseLookMode/SetMouseLookMode

These relate to the mouselook mode. "True" with these refers to mouselook being on, false to mouselook being disabled. <source lang="lua"> gkinterface.SetMouseLookMode(true) -- enables mouselook mode gkinterface.GetMouseLookMode() -- would return "true" now gkinterface.SetMouseLookMode(false) -- disables mouselook mode gkinterface.GetMouseLookMode() -- would return "false" now </source>

GetMouseOptions/SetMouseOptions

I'm not sure what this does. The Get option returns the following data structure (on my machine) <source lang="lua"> {

   1 = {
       "name" = "X Axis",
       "value" = 1
   },
   2 = {
       "name" = "Y Axis",
       "value" = 1
   }

} </source>

GetMousePosition

Definition: gkinterface.GetMousePosition() -> float percent_x, float percent_y

Description Returns two floats which designate how far across the screen the mouse pointer is in percent, as seen from the top left. E.g., if the mouse pointer is dead centre of the screen, this would return "0.5, 0.5" while if it were at the top left, this would return 0,0.

GetMouseSensitivity/SetMouseSensitivity

Get or set the mouse sensitivity. This can be set to values from 1-20 via the Controls menu, but really can go quite a bit higher. Negative values invert mouse movement (for both axis, so this is not a way to get "invert mouse" behaviour).
