Hello, hope all is well, try this out
As you have mentioned you are new, I've tried to type the instructions as clear as possible
First you need to download the ZIP attachment to your computer and extract it.
These 2 files will be extracted, extract to whatever folder you want.
_AJC Cursor Cross Over Two Monitors.dfscript
_AJC Cursor Cross Over Two Monitors Reset.dfscript
Once they're extracted, follow the following steps,
- Open DF Settings
- Click on <Functions> in the Settings List
- Click <Scripted Function> button at top of window
- Select <Import Scripted Function>
- Navigate to the folder where you downloaded the attachments and import them, one at a time
- "_AJC Cursor Cross Over Two Monitors.dfscript"
- "_AJC Cursor Cross Over Two Monitors Reset.dfscript"
- When both are imported, click <APPLY> at bottom of Settings screen
You should now have 2 new functions in the Scripted Functions List
"_AJC Cursor Cross Over Two Monitors" - the main function to be triggered
"_AJC Cursor Cross Over Two Monitors Reset" - This will allow you to to reset the script settings if needed, either by directly running the script or assigning a hotkey to it. There's no need to worry about uncommenting the line in the previous script then.
Referencing your screenshot, I've assigned
- Monitor3 to the Left (uiMonitorID_A)
- Monitor4 to the Right (uiMonitorID_B)
You can change them in the code if you move monitors or something.
Edge Detection Sensitivity is set to 2 and stored in the variable <int iEdgeThreshold = 2>
It's just the number of pixels from the edge that will trigger the cursor crossover. In your setup though, 2 is plenty.
Just move the mouse cursor to the monitor edge until it stops moving and it should jump within a second
Now all that needs to be done is to create a Trigger for the script.
First, let's setup the Trigger Event,
- Click on <Triggers> in the Settings List
- Click <ADD> button at bottom of Settings Screen
- A new Trigger window will open
- Click <Event> Dropdown button in new window
- Select <Timer Interval> Event
- A new value box will appear called <Interval (sec)>
- Set <Interval (sec)> to 1 or maybe a bit higher if you want more of a delay for some reason.
Now let's setup the Trigger Function,
- Click <ADD> button underneath listbox at bottom of Trigger Screen
- Select <Run Function>
- Select "_AJC Cursor Cross Over Two Monitors" from the list
- Make sure you didn't select the Reset one! D:
- "_AJC Cursor Cross Over Two Monitors" should be added to the Trigger list
- Click <OK>
Click <APPLY> at bottom of Settings screen, until you click <APPLY> the Trigger won't be enabled
Hopefully all should be good now, there is a slight delay and there's nothing I can do about that using this method.
Happy mouse cursor monitor jumping
!!! I've included the code here so others can see it's not dodgy or anything
