Mouse look
Post: #1
My team is working on a first person game and we want the player to be able to turn 360 degrees via the mouse. The only problem is, all I know how to use for mouse input is Carbon Event Manager stuff that returns mouse coordinates... so when the cursor gets to the left or right side of the screen, the character can't turn any farther. Is there some function or event constant that would let me access the mouse more directly, e.g. tell if the mouse is being moved independent of where the system cursor ends up?

Ed's code will pin the mouse where it is, but that won't help on its own, since the mouse position returned from the carbon events will always be the same...
The Carbon events include a mouse delta, though, that's not clamped by the screen bounds.
