Mouse, Tool, Help!

Subject: Mouse, Tool, Help! June 11th 2011, 2:38 pm

ok, Im trying to make a gui game. I need to get the player mouse. Apparently no one can do this without simulating it with a tool. So i want to protect the game from the risk of breaking if a tool is deselected... so how do i get it to in a way... not be visible but be on... without deleting the tool. I have to use local scripts so can any one answer me?

Force them to select it then remove the tool?

Try it. I thought they still work.

Ok, I'll have to try it. I'm not done scripting it yet, but I'll try it.

:o I made a hack around this but it broke:

player = PutPlayerHere
mouse = nil
tool = Instance.new("Tool")
hand = Instance.new("Part",tool)
hand.Name = "Handle"
tool.Equipped:connect(function(m) mouse = m end)
tool.Parent = player.Character
repeat wait() until mouse
tool.Parent = nil

print(mouse)

i tryed using mouse events but it said that the mouse was no longer active. :O

The tool still works when deleted. Use Person299's Admin Commands and type 'givebtools/me', select the delete tool, then type 'removebtools/me' the tool will not be visible at the bottom of the screen, but the actual tool still can be used.

Person299's admin commands can do the thing. Give it a try!
