well if we do #1 you'd be able to get the mouse state (click / not click /
position) from script any time you wanted it.
You could use that to do things like have a monster chase the mouse cursor,
or make an "in game" minigame where you would throw grenades at wherever you
clicked.
or, you could have invisible buttons
or, you could make it so you had to move the mouse through a maze while
monsters chased it, and if you touched the sides you died.
it basically just gives you full access to the mouse vs the other solutions
which give you access only for this special case.
but, in this case, it would be more work for you to get this script working,
so i'm down for multiple solutions if thats what youd prefer
IE we do #2 to solve this problem and do #1 later too ::shrug::
