Tablet PC Eraser Pen - Eraser Function?

Is MOI reading the TPC eraser? Currently my pen eraser is functioning as another pen tip.

Is there a way to set the eraser as 'delete object?' Or better yet, something customizable?

Hi Gamedev, MoI does not currently do any kind of special processing of the eraser itself, it just uses whatever mouse-click input the tablet driver sends to it.

With a regular Wacom drawing tablet, it is possible to customize what the erase does, under Control Panel / Wacom Tablet Properties. One of the options is to send a keystroke to the application. Then with a keyboard shortcut set up in MoI to handle that (under Options / Shortcut keys), that would allow assigning a custom function to the eraser.

Maybe the TabletPC has a similar setting in it somewhere?

It looks like if you have a TabletPC that is based off of a Wacom pen (which many are), you can install this: http://www.wacom.com/tabletpc/readme.cfm to get the same customization settings that are in a regular Wacom tablet, this should include customizing the eraser function.

Hope this helps!

- Michael
