[1.7.10] Draggable Gui/Button

[gendeathrow]

I am looking for a way to Drag a Box across the screen to act as a placement for hud items.. I need more than one on the screen, and to be dragged individually. I have had issues looking for tutorials on this. I have seen one other mod do this.. but for the life of me I cant remember what it was. Any ways any help would be great. This is more of a send me into the right direction kind of thing. Thanks for any help.

You can override the mouseClickMove method, and in that method you can iterate over all the object on your screen, and if the mouse is over a object, update those x and y values to move them.

If I wanted to allow this to happen in-game, how would I create a GuiScreen without disrupting the environment? I have a custom HUD that I want to allow players to manipulate when they want. I hope this makes sense.

 

EDIT: I was thinking about it some more, and I might not even need this. I could just set a boolean when I wanted to allow editing. The problem is, chat goes to it's "focused height" and takes up a larger area of the screen. Hmm. I would need a GuiScreen to override mouseClickMove anyway.
