SDL_HINT_MOU...E_WARP_MOTION(3)

✨ SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_WARP_MOTION ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual 💅 this one's a hint, and she's a very specific little queen, so let's get into it.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_WARP_MOTION — a variable that controls whether a motion event should be generated for mouse warping while you're in relative mode. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_WARP_MOTION "SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE_WARP_MOTION"

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the variable can be set to these values, and there are literally only two, no in-between, no grey area, she's decisive:

• "0" — warping the mouse will NOT generate a motion event in relative mode 🙈
• "1" — warping the mouse WILL generate a motion event in relative mode 🔥

by default, warping the mouse will not generate motion events in relative mode. and ngl that default is doing you a solid, because it means your application doesn't have to sit there filtering out giant relative motion numbers that only exist because of the warping. lowkey a lifesaver 💖

this hint can be set anytime. no timing stress, no main-character scheduling drama, just set it whenever. ⭐

---

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

this hint has been available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on anything older, she's not there yet, sorry bestie 😭

---

and that's the whole page, periodt 💅 go forth and warp responsibly.

this lil drop of wisdom came to you from Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18, and yes she ate 🎀✨
