Check Mouse Position

Troubleshooting General Help
1

So I'm really new at this so sorry if this is a stupid question. When I hold down the F key I want to check the location of the mouse (I have an Absolute Mouse set up in my Main class) and if it is over an object I want to move the object with the mouse - click and drag but with a keypress instead of a click.



This is my action class:


import treattatt.Main;

import com.jme.app.BaseGame;
import com.jme.input.RelativeMouse;
import com.jme.math.Vector2f;
import com.jme.math.Vector3f;
import com.jme.input.action.InputActionEvent;
import com.jme.input.action.MouseInputAction;
import com.jme.input.MouseInput;
import com.jme.intersection.BoundingPickResults;
import com.jme.intersection.PickResults;
import com.jme.input.InputSystem;
import com.jme.scene.Node;
import com.jme.math.Ray;

/**

public class forceAction extends MouseInputAction {

here is a slightly different way to check mouse position over something(a quad in this case)

public boolean isMouseOverButton(){
      
      float mousex = MouseInput.get().getXAbsolute();
      float mousey = MouseInput.get().getYAbsolute();
      
      float menuItemLeftEdge = buttonQuad.getWorldTranslation().x - (buttonWidth / 2);
      float menuItemRightEdge = buttonQuad.getWorldTranslation().x + (buttonWidth / 2);
      float menuItemTopEdge = buttonQuad.getWorldTranslation().y - (buttonHeight / 2);
      float menuItemBottomEdge = buttonQuad.getWorldTranslation().y + (buttonHeight / 2);
      
      return (mousex > menuItemLeftEdge && mousex < menuItemRightEdge && mousey > menuItemTopEdge && mousey < menuItemBottomEdge);
      
   }


for display:

DisplaySystem.getDisplaySystem()


and to move box you have to update position corresponding to the mouse position, something like: box.setLocalTranslation(mousex, mousey, 0) and dont forget to updateGeometricState
