Open overwolf window on current mouse position

Issues - Platform and API
#1

Issue Description:
I like to open the overwolf window based in current cursor position, thought about using changePosition + https://github.com/patrickjaja/overwolf_chat_wheel/blob/master/overwolf-helper.js#L23 - but getting “inputTracking is not initialized” - any thoughts on that idea and how to solve that feature with overwolf?

Here my Repo and a recording of the overwolf app (if needed). Feel free to PR if you want to.

Anyone knows why this is not working?

overwolf.games.inputTracking.getMousePosition((response)=> {
        console.log('MOUSE POSITION RECEIVED');
         console.log(response);
});

“inputTracking is not initialized”

@patrickjaja sorry for the late response. some technical issues prevent us from getting notifications about new tickets.
I will take a look at your question tomorrow when I’ll get to the office. Thanks!

Hi @patrickjaja,

So in order to use the overwolf.games.inputTracking.getMousePosition() without getting the inputTracking is not initialized error message, you will have to register to one of these events:

  • overwolf.games.inputTracking.onMouseDown
  • overwolf.games.inputTracking.onUp
  • overwolf.games.inputTracking.onKeyUp
  • overwolf.games.inputTracking.onKeyDown

I know it’s not trivial, and actually it looks like a bug. So I’m going to open a bug for it’s, but for now, you can use this workaround.

Thanks.

Hi. The version that includes the fix is available on the developer’s channel.

We added the init function; https://overwolf.github.io/docs/api/overwolf-games-inputTracking#initcallback

I’m closing the ticket. If you have any issues, you can always mention me, and I’ll reopen it.

Thanks.
