The mouse_drag event occurs every time the mouse is moved until the user releases the mouse button. It will always occur after a mouse_click event. The event will only be fired when the mouse moves to another character position, dragging within the same character will have no effect.

| Fired when the mouse is dragged (implies that a mouse_click event has already occurred). | |
| Returned Object 1 | The mouse button that was clicked. |
| Returned Object 2 | The X-coordinate of the mouse (in screen-characters). |
| Returned Object 3 | The Y-coordinate of the mouse (in screen-characters). |
Examples

_, button, xPos, yPos = os.pullEvent("mouse_drag")
print("mouse_drag => " .. tostring(button) .. ": " ..
"X: " .. tostring(xPos) .. ", " ..
