Restrict mouse from certain point on screen

[dandymcgee]

Please help me out. I'm trying to make a script that restricts the mouse from moving to a certaing rectangle on the screen, rather than forcing it to stay in a certaing rectangular area on the screen.

EDIT: typo

Look at the _MouseTrap function in the beta.

the user is wanting to keep the mouse out not in, seems like someone asked about this before

You could use MouseGetPos, and if it matched a certain range, MouseMove would move the mouse away.

[evilertoaster]

You can use mousetrap to "trap' it in the region you want allowed. it may be mroe than one reagion which means you'd rapidly set new points.

Ot you can jsut do somthing like-

If MouseGetPos(0)<$SomePoint or MouseGetPos(0)>$SomeOtherPoint then MouseMove($SavePointX,$SavePointY)

Make a some of those in a loop and that should work also.

Try this: it's a little rough, but it should work for basic uses...
