(GM 6.1) Creating objects at a click point ???

In Gamemaker version 6.1, how do you make a system where you click anywhere
(global.left or right button click) and an object (such as a spell object) is created where you
clicked?
Very confused... ???

First you'd need a controller object (an object that is specifically used to run background code and doesn't have a sprite).
Then in the global left pressed event use something like:

Code: [Select]

instance_create(mouse_x, mouse_y, object);

You might want to limit the casting with variables and alarms, or else the game will be so easy.

Yeah, I know, Ben's code works but I'll have to find a way to limit with alarms. Wait, I have an Idea...

have a variable say, clicked
make it =0 in create (clicked=0)
then, when you click to create an object
if cliked=0{
clicked=1
alarm[0]=30 (or whatever)}
then in alarm[0], make clicked=0

if mouse_check_button_released(mb_left) {
instance_create(mouse_x, mouse_y, object);
}
or for right mouse button
if mouse_check_button_released(mb_right) {
instance_create(mouse_x, mouse_y, object);
}
Put that in the step event of your object, not the one your creating, the one already on the screen.

so my friend stole a giant bag of ketchup out of the ketchup pumping things and brought it to our table and we took it in the bathroom and i smashed it over the sink and kicked it around the bathroom and smeared it everywhere and we all took turns kicking the ketchup out of it and when we were done it looked like an african village was murdered in the bathroom

XFD.
