Strange captured mouse bavehour

Hi everyone. I'm using captured mouse mode on Windows but how mouse getting back to center it affecting speed value and make my camera go back as well. Do someone know workaround ? Ps. it happens only on Windows, not on linux Thanks -Garrom

It's probably related to this issue from the Godot repository. Not sure on a fix though.

I did get a sort of working mouse capture system by using MOUSE_MODE_CONFINED and making the mouse image a completely transparent 32x32 square. I manually calculated the delta by storing the previous mouse position and then subtracting that from the current mouse position. Whenever the mouse reached an edge I warped it to the edge on the other side. Warping the position made delta calculations interesting, there was a trick to it but I forget what it was.

That said, the MOUSE_MODE_CONFINED system wasn't very smooth and broke when the mouse was moved too fast. I wish I had the code, but I was just testing and didn't add it as a commit to the repository I was using.

Well. It works kind of fine. Only problem is than mouse is not freezed in center, it moves away and then come back. It looks like this : This damn moving back affect speed value what I'm using to rotate camera around player. This is only problem(cursor is usually hidden but i used alt+tab trick to show you it)

Well, one way you could (potentially) get around the problem is by ignoring every other mouse motion input, not sure how feasible it would be though.

I'm using only one mouse input. My code looks like this : func _input(event): if event is InputEventMouseMotion: angle = angle + (event.speed.x/800) What is "other mouse motion input" anyway ? I thought only one mouse can be effectively connected to computer.

What is “other mouse motion input”

Sorry, I meant other mouse input events. I was meaning something like this (pysudo GDScript):

var skip_event = false Func _input(event): If event is InputEventMouseMotion: If skip_event == false: Skip_event = true “Do whatever processing you need here!” Else: Skip_event = false “We do not want to process anything here!”

I think we cannot fix it by ourselves. I guess it is bug within engine because if I disable capturing mouse everything is fine... Looks like I'm going to use Q and E keys to look around.
