Lua Simple filter for mouse button logitech

[Tato]

Hi all, I am very noob and I'd like to ask you help for a script using lua.

I have Gsuite program (Logitech) where is possible to script with LUA and I need to create a filter for the button of the mouse. I accidentally click a button and I simply want to add a filter, If I press the button for500ms send the click button, if I release the button before 500ms do nothing.

I tried with macro in Gsuite but I didn't found the solution.

Thank you in advance

I'd like to add some info i found in the G-series API (link API)

"(event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4)" is the button i'd like to use

I'm not familiar with Lua, but did you check accessibility options in Windows control panel? Over there I think you have an accidental keypress suspender, maybe there is something similar for mouse instead keyboard.

Otherwise, I skimmed over docs you provided, you can try this:

function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
        sleep(500)
        if (IsMouseButtonPressed(arg)) then
            return false -- propagating click event
        else
            return true -- cancelling click event
        end
    end
end

You may have problems with immediate propagation of mouse click, so you may experience two clicks, one imediately, one after half a second. If that's the case, you have to find a way how to suspend the first click propagation, i.e. how to cancel it.

[Edit]
I think I found a way to access click propagation. I made changes to code.

First of all thank you !!!
Tomorrow I will try and update the post here 🙂

Tried, sleep modified in Sleep uppercase (not the script gived me an error) but nothing happen.
Tried this without results:

function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
        Sleep(500)
        if (IsMouseButtonPressed(arg)) then
            return false -- propagating click event
        else
            return true -- cancelling click event
        end
    end
end

>Tried also this to see the results but without any xxx or yyy results.
I am tryng to understand how to see the result in the g-suite script editor.

function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 1) then
        Sleep(500)
        if (IsMouseButtonPressed(arg)) then
            return false -- OutputLogMesssage("yyy");
        else
            return true -- OutputLogMesssage("xxx");
        end
    end
end

Finaly i found this solution:

function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
    Sleep(500)
              if (IsMouseButtonPressed(arg)) then
       PressAndReleaseKey("x")
       end
    end
end

Now I want to fix a problem.
If I press the button for 0.3 seconds ok it's filtered.
If I press for 0.5 seconds ok the function press and release.
If I press for 3 seconds the script press and release @ 0.5 sec

I'd like to filter if I release before 0.5sec but also I want not to release till I release the button.

 

[Tato]

function OnEvent(event, arg)
if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
Sleep(500)
if (IsMouseButtonPressed(arg)) then
PressMouseButton("x")
::xxx::
While(IsMouseButtonPressed(x))
Do
Goto xxx
end
ReleaseMouseButton(x)
end
end
end

 

[ivan.moony]

how about:

function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
        Sleep(500)
        while IsMouseButtonPressed(arg) do
            Sleep(50)
        end
        ReleaseMouseButton(x)
    end
end

Hello @Tato!

Glad @ivan.moony found you a solution, make sure to Mark his post as the solution! 🙂

 

[Tato]

For sure. Today I will test the code and mark it as a solution

Thank you

Finally tested and with some small modification it works fine.

X is a key and not a mouse button so i used PressKey instead of PressMouseButton
I added also the press function that was missing.

Now when i press the button 4 on my mouse
- if i release before 500ms nothing happen
- if i relaese after 500ms the script press "X" key @ 500ms and release it @ release time + 25ms

This is the working code:

function OnEvent(event, arg)
    if (event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 4) then
    Sleep(500)
              if (IsMouseButtonPressed(4)) then
              PressKey("x")
            while IsMouseButtonPressed(arg) do
                Sleep(25)
               end
        ReleaseKey("x")
              end
    end
end
