I love the Pick Object Command but I needed Pick Sprite so here it is



If you use a specific sprite number as Target it will return "1" if cursor is over Target sprite
Pick_Sprite(Target)

If you use Pick_Sprite(0) it will return the number of the lowest sprite only (if multiple sprites overlap)

You could achieve the same affect by checking if the mouse is in the borders of the sprite. To find the borders of the sprite it would just be like a collision box.

If you had a program with 100 Sprites That would require you to loop through all sprites, check thier shape and test it against the cursor position. This function is far cleaner

Not "Objects" "sprites"
The existing command PICK OBJECT is for that. Bascially the idea is to see if mouse is over a sprite by comparing a 1 pixel sprite positioned at MouseX(),MouseY(). I use it to good effect in the "Sunk / Raised Command Buttons" snippit in this forum
