MouseYPos code

Message

Is there some place I can find the code for popping up GUIs using MouseYPos visibility (such as the gIconbar)? I'm asking because I want to manipulate mouse icons according to a different variable whenever the gIconbar pops up. I can use repeatedly_execute to check Mouse.y, but I think that would unnecessarily slow down the game. Is there any way to enter code that will run right before the game is paused and gIconbar pops up?

Thanks!

So, does anyone have any idea, or would I have to use 'repeatedly_execute'?

My problem is that while the game is in eBlock and the cursor is set to Wait, if you bring up gIconbar (by moving the mouse up), the cursor changes to Pointer, but then when the mouse is lowered again, it stays on Pointer and doesn't change back to Wait.
I was thinking of just changing the icon after gIconbar disappears, but that seems imposible. Any ideas anyone?

What makes you think the game would be slowed down with merely a single mouse.y check? QFG2VGA's global rep_exec script is nearly 3000 lines long and many local rep_exec scripts have over 1000 lines. It's really not THAT easy to slow the game down with that script.

Thanks, that makes me worry a little less. :p

Is there some way to move the mouse? Because aparently mouse.x and mouse.y are read-only... (I only need mouse.y, BTW).

Thanks!

You should use the Mouse.SetPosition-function for that.
