Native mouselock for GameMaker. Perfect for games with screen-space mouse aiming - no more need to worry about the game not restricting the mouse position quickly enough and user clicking outside the window - with this extension the mouse cannot escape the specified region, as it uses OS-level functionality to confine it.

Included functions:

• display_mouse_lock(x, y, width, height)
• display_mouse_unlock()
• display_mouse_bounds() : Returns the current mouse bounds as an array.

Package contents:

• The extension itself.
• C++ source code.

Sample code:

// to be placed in Step event
if (window_has_focus()) {
    display_mouse_lock(window_get_x(), window_get_y(), window_get_width(), window_get_height());
} else display_mouse_unlock();
