Title: How to check if both mouse button is pressed
Post by: ifinox on February 17, 2017, 12:58:15 pm

Hello. I need to check if both lmb and rmb is pressed. How can i do that?

if (event.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed)
{
        if (event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Left && event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Right)
                std::cout << "LMB+RMB\n";
        else if (event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Left)
                std::cout << "LMB\n";
        else if (event.mouseButton.button == sf::Mouse::Right)
                std::cout << "RMB\n";
}
 

That code I have now and it is obvious that not work, but how to do that properly?

Store the state of your mouse buttons, e.g. in two boolean values. Then just compare both of them later on.

Thank you!  :)
So if anyone will have similar problem here's the code:

if (event.type == sf::Event::MouseButtonPressed)
{
        bool left, right;
        left = right = false;
        if (mouse.isButtonPressed(sf::Mouse::Left))
                left = true;
                                       
        if (mouse.isButtonPressed(sf::Mouse::Right))
                right = true;

        if (left && right)
                std::cout << "LMB+RMB\n";
        else if (left)
                std::cout << "LMB\n";
        else if (right)
                std::cout << "RMB\n";
}
