In the dog house bug as described by tha_rami it flashes different colors when you select one. I.E. Say you select green, it flashes pink and green. How do I fix this? Here is the code.

+ Code Snippet

if mouseclick()=1 and mousex()>0 and mousey()>530 and mousex()<0+54 and mousey()<530+603
colour$="yellow"
texture object 1,8
endif

if mouseclick()=1 and mousex()>60 and mousey()>530 and mousex()<60+114 and mousey()<530+603
colour$="green"
texture object 1,10
endif

if mouseclick()=1 and mousex()>130 and mousey()>530 and mousex()<120+174 and mousey()<530+603
colour$="pink"
texture object 1,12
endif

if mouseclick()=1 and mousex()>180 and mousey()>530 and mousex()<180+214 and mousey()<530+603
colour$="default"
texture object 1,4
endif

Thanks,

Jeez - you are hard work!

Read this (in particular, points 4, 10 and 15):

I don't know about others, but in the future I'm going to refuse to help any users who can't be bothered with these simple courtesies.

It's not asking much if you want others to help is it?...

Far too many users are asking questions which cannot be answered and it's getting tiresome asking for more information all the time.

HOW ON EARTH ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW!!!

* None of the lines in your code snippets even have any colour commands!
* You use 'texture object 1,8' but we don't know what image 8 is!
* We don't know what 'it' is! Object 1?
* How are we supposed to know what colour$ is used for?

I agree with TDK, you need to give more info in the future. However, I know what it was like to be hopelessly lost so I will be a nice guy and help you out.

Your pink and green collision boxes overlap.

Your green box goes from 60,530 to 174,1033
Your pink box goes from 120,530 to 294,1033

Check your other numbers as well. Essentially when you click on green, you are probably clicking on both green AND pink.

But again next time, give us more info and make your code cleaner. I know it is tempting to just show values being added, I had to draw it out and double check the addition, and I can't even test it because I have no idea what you are doing with four random if statements.

Just a tip, y values INCREASE as they go down, your program calls for a screen size that is at least 1033 pixels high. I don't know if you are just doing a large screen size for an important part of you program or if you don't understand the coordinate system. The top left corner of your screen is 0,0. X increases from left to right and y increases from top to bottom. Also, standard screen size in DBC is 640x480.

Your Welcome
