Re: Menus do not seem to work clicking through a VFX window

so I just made "mouse 1" the hotkey for this Mapped Key and like magic it instantly started working...

im telling ya, this is a game changer (for me at least)!

Re: Menus do not seem to work clicking through a VFX window

we're talking in irc as well on this, but just to keep track of questions

1) can {character} or some other similar assignment be used insid the "Target" box for a Step -> Action? Instead of having to make a new keymap for each account?

2) Trying to figure out a method to use mouse 1 as the key to activate a menu button. You suggested using a keymap toggle

Shadowandlight: hmm how can i use mouse 1 to control a keymap, but only when its inside a vfx?
(1:14:14 PM) Shadowandlight: if i leave mouse 1 as the hotkey it breaks the normal use of mouse 1 (does that make sense?)
(1:15:38 PM) Lax: Shadowandlight: set up a Key Map Toggler using the Mapped Key wizard. set it as "pressed or released" mode
(1:15:44 PM) Lax: assign it to the video fx for mouseover
(1:15:50 PM) Lax: tell it to turn on your mapped key set to mouse1
(1:16:02 PM) Lax: set your mapped key for mouse1 to be off by default

Re: Menus do not seem to work clicking through a VFX window

Quick update on this..

I got this to work! I had to use a different hotkey to enable it though...

However I cannot use mouse 1 or the VFX option "Mapped Key on Enter/Exit"

- Mouse 1 when used as the hotkey prevents its usage outside the VFX.

- "Mapped Key on Enter/Exit" I've had problems with currently and before.... Sometimes it gets confused and instead of turning OFF a mapped key, it flips it on... etc....

Any ideas as a work around for the Mapped Key issue OR some other way to use mouse 1 as the keymap hotkey?
