Hi there.

I'm having a problem creating buttons for a graphical interface. I'm trying to make a sprite follow the mouse cursor, and when it collides with a button, it should return the sprite number of the button. It doesn't seem to change though, it just stays on sprite 1 which is the sprite which covers the whole screen and provides a border.

That is because it's detecting the background sprite, and once it detects it, it stays with that sprite as collision. You should paste the background image instead of using a sprite.

Thank you very much for the help, but it seems that there's still a problem. The Sprite Collision function is now just returning 0.

Here is my code now.



I'm also getting a kind of white flickering effect now, but that might just be my graphics card.

You are getting confused with sprites.

Pasting sprites just pastes a copy of the sprite, but the sprite will still be in its original place.

So just pasting sprite 3 at mouse coords is not enough. You need to move sprite 3 to mouse pos aswell.

In fact you should not need to paste all the button images as they will be automatically upkept and drawn by DBpro.

So in main loop, you should just paste sprite 1 (for the backdrop), move sprite 3 to mouse position, then do your collision check.

Doing a SPRITE command before main loop, sets things up so it gets drawn every loop automatically.

Boo!
