Mouse Commands

There are a variety of mouse options for moving objects around the field. In all cases you need to first select the object to operate on with the mouse button. The selected object will change to a white outline. These options are:

Left mouse button

• Always moves objects to a new position (click'n'drag) in the simulator.
• With shift key it will send a movement command to the robot to the position that is clicked

Right mouse button

• changes robot orientation to point to the mouse location
• With shift key it will send a movement command to the selected robot to orient to point at the mouse location.
• Gives the ball velocity. Click'n'drag from the ball and you will see the velocity vector. The length of the vector is plotted in world units so that if it stretches across 1m of field, the ball will get a velocity of 1m/s.

Middle mouse button

• When soccer is running, it sends a goto command to the selected robot. The destination of the goto is the position selected by the mouse ie. To use it click on teh robot you want to move, then click with the middle mouse button where you want it to go.
