Is there a way to tell if the mouse is over a sprite by returning a 1 and if it's not return a zero? If so what commands do i need to make that happen? Thanks.

GetSpriteHitTest() to return TRUE or FALSE
GetSpriteHit() to return the sprite's ID

One question: I use VirtualButtons to create buttons on the screen, in turn I use a graphic sprite as a button.
if I don't use VirtualButtons ... and I only use this command to return TRUE only with Sprites, without using VirtualButton.
I really don't like to assign a chart to VirtualButton directly, because you can't change the Z depth of the Virtual buttons.
That's why I use Sprites to display buttons.
and use VirtualButton to control the collision and button pressure.

Hey Alice,

I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase?

Personally, I don't use virtual buttons unless the buttons are invisible/transparent and I just want to catch the user's input in a certain rectangular area.
With sprites, you have much more control, like you already said.

Yes, I realized and I use it as you say.

The rectangular area to detect the on-screen button works very well. (such as "Press" "Statte" physical buttons ...)
I paint a Sprite, and above a Text and I can place a top Sprite for the mouse pointer if I wish.

Hi, AliceSim1, you can check without sprite. AABB function.

+ Code Snippet

do
	print(GetBoxHitTest(50,50,50,50,1))
    Sync()
loop


function GetBoxHitTest( x as float, y as float, width as integer, height as integer, debug as integer )
		if debug = 1
			_color = MakeColor(255,0,0)
			DrawBox( x-width/2, y-height/2, x+width/2, y+height/2, _color, _color, _color, _color, 0 )
		endif
		
		eX#=x-width/2
		eY#=y-height/2
		eW#=x+width/2
		eH#=y+height/2
		
        x_tap#=GetPointerX()
        y_tap#=GetPointerY()
                   
        if  x_tap# > eX# and x_tap# < eW#  and y_tap# > eY# and y_tap# < eH#
            result = 1
        else
            result = 0
        endif 
endfunction result
