+Begin "Left click" in the 3D world.
-Example:
+ CameraOrSelectOrMoveStart()
+== Parameters ==
+=== Arguments ===
+:()
-/script CameraOrSelectOrMoveStart();
+=== Returns ===
+:''nil''
+== Details ==
+: This function is called when left-clicking in the 3-D world. It is most useful for selecting a target for a pending spell cast.
-Used in conjunction with the CameraOrSelectOrMoveStop command, simulates a left mouse click.
+: Calling this function clears the "mouseover" unit.
-Example:
+: If you hook this function, be sure to grab <tt>UnitName("mouseover")</tt> or target the "mouseover" unit because once the original function is called, the "mouseover" will not have a value.
-/script CameraOrSelectOrMoveStart();
+: When used alone, puts you into a "mouselook" mode until [[API CameraOrSelectOrMoveStop|CameraOrSelectOrMoveStop]] is called.
-/script CameraOrSelectOrMoveStop();
+: IMPORTANT: The normal restrictions regarding hardware event initiations still apply to anything this function might do.
+__NOTOC__
-Result is context sensitive, as the name of the command itself implies; is not a "true" left mouseclick, as it will not activate UI buttons.
