When I link them they go only to one sub. I need them to go to a certain sub. Is it DO and LOOP?

What? Do you have any code or anything? You're not making sense.

Alright honestly Jordan, you're asking almost every question that pops into your head while you and your team make this game, without taking 5 minutes to think it over yourself. If you still dont understand the concepts of the different types of loops, how to properly use subroutines, and some of the other questions you've been asking, I doubt you're ready to take on a team project. Im sure you'll ignore this advice but I recommend following some tutorials before continuing on.

Explain your question more if you want help.

I haven't a clue what you're asking.

- I see no plant subroutine label.
- BttnClick is assigned 1 just before the IF statement every time, so no point it even checking it.
- You're assigning mouse coordinate values to float variables when there is no need to since they can only ever return an integer value.
- I see much of you code duplicated for no reason
- Variables are being assigned values in a loop when there's no need to since they never change anywhere else in the code. Assign them outside of the loop.

Jordan Stories Games, you are trying to make these games L.A. Assault and that tycoon game, and yet it appears you don't know how to use subroutines

. I wanted to make amazing games when I first started, but then I realized I couldn't. The first game I made was a text adventure. It was fun and easy to program. Since you are new to DarkBasic, those games you have been trying to make will only give you headaches and you will always be confused...

Think about all the features that would need to be incorporated in L.A. Assault (which I'm guessing is like GTA):
-Artificial Intelligence
-tons upon tons of 3d models
-tons upon tons of textures
-Shooting
-Driving
-You probably might even have to make a game engine and build the game from that.
-and a lot more features...

Also, it's okay that you're asking questions. But, you're a new guy trying to make a complex game. You're just going to end up asking about everything because you don't know how to do many simple commands yet.
Figure out the code yourself, start with a small game like pong or a text adventure (I'm sure everyone's heard that before). It will be A LOT more fun because you know what you're doing. It will be easier to change the game. Also, you can say that "this is MY game, not just a bunch of code that people gave me". Once you start simple, you will find yourself learning a lot faster, and in no time, you will be doing more complex things.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just trying to help you. So if you don't agree with me, good luck on your games...you're going to need it!

I agree with Dr. Manette, dude, I am new at this too. It took me 2 hours to figure out how to code a menu system to begin my game. But guess what I DID IT, without help from anybody. It makes me feel good that I can actually do this and call it my own. Even if it is just words that change colour when your mouse goes over them and takes you to a loading screen when you click New Game. I am going to use it to start a text based RPG. But by the looks of all your questions I am wondering if you could even do a menu system...

Um, you have a return after a do-loop, and i havent seen a label. Add a label first, take out the do and loop statements, then try.

Also, i recommend following the advice of others on the forum. But to be honest, you should have gotten fps creator, or the 3d game maker. We were all newbs once, so that is my advice.

Come on down to the thread! http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=86045&b=8

Could you explain what you're trying to make this code do, in more detail than "2 Clickable Images at Once"? Perhaps say what should happen when the program starts, what should happen when the user clicks the mouse, explain "2 Clickable Images at Once" in a few more words, and say whatever else the code should do. I think I could help, but not knowing what the code should do makes it hard to figure out how to make it work.

I'm not the biggest expert or anything (I just started a couple months ago) but wouldn't the binary moon tutorial teach him most of the stuff he asks?

If you have an image pasted at x,y and it has a width of width and height of height, then you need to do this check to see if the mouse is clicking on it:

+ Code Snippet

if mouseclick()=1 and mousex()>x and mousey()>y and mousex()<x+width and mousey()<y+height
    gosub a_sub_routine
endif

Here's a piece of code that makes two images link to a certain sub routine. It is fully commented, so read through it and try to get it to work with your images - right now the snippet generates two images with a few lines of code.

rem basic starting stuff:
sync on
sync rate 0
cls

rem make a random image that has a size of 100 by 100
lock pixels
for x=1 to 100
for y=1 to 100
ink rgb(0,255,rnd(255)),0
dot x,y
next y
next x
unlock pixels
sync
get image 1,1,1,100,100

rem make a random image that has a size of 100 by 100
lock pixels
for x=1 to 100
for y=1 to 100
ink rgb(rnd(255),0,255),0
dot x,y
next y
next x
unlock pixels
sync
get image 2,1,1,100,100

rem now we have image 1 and image 2. You can replace the previous code with code that loads images from files.

rem main loop:
do
   cls
   rem paste both images on the screen.
   rem The first image is pasted at 0,0. Since it has a width of 100 and height of 100,
   rem the right edge of the image is at 100 and the bottom edge of the image is at 100.
   paste image 1,0,0
   rem the second image is pasted at 200, 50. Since it also has a width of 100 and height of 100,
   rem the right edge of the image is at 200+100, or 300, and the bottom edge of the image is at 50+100, or 150.
   paste image 2,200,50
   if mouseclick()=1
      rem if mousex()>left and mousey()>top and mousex()<right and mousey()<bottom
      if mousex()>0 and mousey()>0 and mousex()<100 and mousey()<100
         rem gosub the sub routine
         gosub certain_sub_routine
      endif
      rem if mousex()>left and mousey()>top and mousex()<right and mousey()<bottom
      if mousex()>200 and mousey()>50 and mousex()<300 and mousey()<150
         rem gosub the sub routine
         gosub certain_sub_routine
      endif
   endif
   rem refresh the screen
   sync
loop
rem end of main loop

rem sub routines:

certain_sub_routine:
   center text screen width()/2,screen height()/2,"You are in a certain sub routine"
   sync
   wait 1000
   center text screen width()/2,screen height()/2+20,"Returning to main loop now"
   sync
   wait 1000
return
