Processing, Controlling the cursor, how do you tell it to left click?

in Programming Questions • 1 year ago

Hi everyone, atm im stuck, ive got a nice proccesing sketch controlling my cursor from skeleton data of my hand.
Only problem is i cant figure out how to get it to left click or stay left clicked (i.e. to move items around)

im using on pose rules in an if statment so all i litrally need is someone to tell me how to control the mouse through processing, ive looked at the references but they dont really help.

Thank you for helping or just looking

this is the bit i need help on what is the command for the mouse click?

if(leftHand.y > leftElbow.y && leftHand.x > leftElbow.x) {
          stroke(255);
          mousePressed = true;
          println("did it work?");
        }else{

There's a simple way of retrieving the position of the mouse cursor:

http://processing.org/reference/mouseX.html

http://processing.org/reference/mouseY.html

For the left mouse click, I wrote this up:

if (mousePressed)
{
if (mouseButton == LEFT)
{
//Do something (ie set a boolean to true)
}
}

And to check if the left mouse button has been released:

if (mouseReleased)
{
if (mouseButton == LEFT)
{
//Do something (ie set a boolean to false)
}
}

You can do the same thing for right click by replacing LEFT with RIGHT. Hope I helped.

Sorry I didn't explain well enough, im already controling the mouse, im using mouseX/mouseY, what im actually doing is sending the skeleton data from a kinect through processsing converting it to mouseX ect and then using a robot class.

I just dont now the code to tell the mouse to left click on on leftclick or on release

Everything is in the Robot reference.
