Hello…
I would like to know how can I make a function
that tells me the event.x and event.y of a point.
where ever i click with the mouse, on the screen on the simulator
I would like to know the exact .x and .y
and print it to the terminal
like
x = display.contentCenterX - 452
y = display.contentCenterY + 157
Thanks for your help

I got it
local function clickPoint( event ) local pointX = event.x pointX = pointX - 712 print(pointX) end Runtime:addEventListener( "touch", clickPoint )
The -712 is because that is the half of 1424
the size of the phone.
if you need the y just add this
local function clickPoint( event ) local pointX = event.x pointX = pointX - 712 print(pointX) local pointY = event.x pointY = pointY - 400 print(pointY) end Runtime:addEventListener( "touch", clickPoint )
I just type - 400 more or less just to make a point
I hope this helps someone else

I have a more challenging question
like a real PRO!!!
I click on the simulator several times
and I get a list of numbers
-345, -300, -200, -50, 12, 36, 235, 500 and so on
I have in my App a table with many values
I need this table to make part of my app work
values = { -365, -306, -250, -174, -118, -61, -3, 73, 128, 186, 242, 318, 375, 431, 489, -423, -365, -306, -250, -174, -118, -61, -3, 73, 128, 186, 242, 318, 375, 431, 489 }
Right now, (after a lot of thinking)
I get the numbers from the terminal after I click on the correct place
and “manually” I have to type the same numbers inside my values table…
I am sure there is a way that I can just “click” on the simulator
save the list of “clicks” or numbers in some place
like
place = list of "clicks" -365, -306 ... and so on
And then like “magic”
“automatically” right after the last click
values = { place }
the program will put all the list of numbers
inside my value table, without me
having to type all of them manually
wouldn’t that be nice?
Would you know how to to this
and help me with this problem
it will save me hours and hours of programming
Thank you very much

Hello, So when you press and get the value you could write it to a string and put that string in to a table.
I know not very useful to just just tell you to do that without code but i don’t have much time so cant really code anything at the moment.
Good Luck!
At least that a start…thanks.
“So when you press and get the value you could write it to a string”
How do I put that in to a “string”
anybody knows that?
