I have a graphic sprite arrow button that I want to place in several places on the screen. How do you do that?

The sprite command places it on the screen. Then when I use the sprite command again it doesn't make a new one. Just moves the old sprite to a different location. I want to have several copies of my sprite on the screen without needing to have several graphic files uploaded.

Just load 1 image and apply it to several sprites



OR if you don't need to use collision checking on the sprites use the paste sprite command.

I've tried the code and it doesn't seem to work.

This is a sample of the code I am using:

do

gosub main_program

loop

main_program:

load image "image.bmp", 1
sprite 1, 0, 0, 1
hide sprite 1


if (sprite hit(g_SELECT01,image,)=1 and returnkey()=1)
wait 150
play sound 2
paste sprite 1, 20, 20
paste sprite 1, 50, 50
paste sprite 1, 80, 80

endif

Its exactly like you told me. I don't know why you gave me the hide sprite command though. It's just makes my picture vanish. When I use the paste sprite command my image is still in its original spot and does not appear any where else.

Why is this so difficult?

Take this :



out of your main loop. You are reloading the image over and over again.

I will have a closer look when I get home.
