I my be a noob my self but it looks like you forgot to make the program wait for any input which will cause the code to run and not give you a chance to do anything

I'm a noob help will be accepted

If you are using Dark Basic, what are the semicolons doing on the end of each line?

Ignoring the semicolons, your first code snippet makes sense, but the second one doesn't.

I suggest you get rid of the semicolons and post all the code you are using because without it there are just too many things you could have done wrong.

Im not being funny but are you literally running a marathon before you can crawl?

I might be off my head but it looks to me as though your starting an if statement for no reason?
if mouseclick() = 1

(READ IT OUT LOUD TO YOURSELF)
does it make sense.

No.

Do i make sense?

No.

perhaps
if something = 1 then dosomethingelsehere()

or alternatively

if something = 1
dosomethingelsehere()
endif

? make sense?,...

Your code has some syntax errors. Also, you didn't code what you wanted it to do if you pressed the left mouse button. I made it so that sprite #1 will be displayed where your mouse is located.



Good luck,

That's an understatement!

But, that's normal if you've just started programming...

With the experience you appear to have, I agree that you need to step back and learn the basics before going any further.

Read tutorials 1 to 4 here:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=99497&b=10

and just check out what other topics are covered for future reference. 1 to 4 are for complete newcomers so they assume you've never programmed before.
