Middle-mouse-clicking on anything

Post by ixu »

TL;DR
Fire an event when the user clicks in a special way (for instance by middle-mouse-clicking) on any entity or item - anywhere in the game


What ?
When the user clicks in a special way (instance by middle-mouse-clicking) on any entity or item anywhere in the game a special-click-event shall be fired.
This can be used for mod developers to jump into a help system like for example "Where is it made?"
