I'm trying to make an adventure game in the same vein as MYST with mouse pointers that change as you move them over an image. i have it so that at the edges of the screen the pointer turns to point in the direction you can turn HOWEVER when i put the pointer over an item on the main part the pointer flickers between one and the other.... Any ideas people?

Are you a tool? can I step through to find another plane or just the shadow of a man?

No

The reason? We have no idea what you have coded. Post some code and someone may be able to help you get it working

i don't get why you hide the sprites every loop? surely you could put that outside the main loop?

same with positioning them, you only need to position the pointer.




should work fine (haven`t tested it)

can you try this out? just paste it over the code after your load image commands.



I think it might work for you, But I didn't make any images to test it out.

Thanks for all the help and advice, i have the problem solved now thank you all for your help... believe it or not, it was the colour of the sprite apparently, the one i was TRYING to use was originally dark red, i re-coloured the sprite to be white and it worked fine. sorry if i wasted anyones time but again thanks for the ideas and help.

It sounds strange but the sprite color does make a difference in collision detection using DBClassic.
Three sprites (rgb values)
one 255,0,0
one 0,255,0
and the third 0,0,255
That combination will not allow collisions to be detected.

After many long hours of debugging I had a desperate strange thought,
maybe Windows was assuming something about the sprite colors

So on that hunch I made them
255,32,32
32,255,32
32,32,255
and the code started working!

I guess there has to be some commonality of color before a collision can be detected. Windows strangeness?
