Hi guys, its me again with another question: So I have got code pretty much sorted out except for this menu screen which I am having problems with, I cannot seem to make some code to allow me to click the buttons (sprites with a button texture) and it is really annoying me now, if you have a solution that I can understand please share. I have looked at the help documentation but the code there does not work for me and the santas bad little elf example is too advanced for me to understand..

One last thing: what is all this hubbub about the new 1.07 patch? Is it only going to be free for us that have already purchased AppGameKit or will it be free for all? in that case I must admit that I am a little annoyed that I didnt just wait for this patch :/

thanks again

//Anton

Here's a little snippet for ya'



Put that in a Do Loop and then you can test if spriteTouched is equal to any of your sprite numbers, and do the appropriate action.

The ScreenToWorldX() and Y() is optional, but can be used if you have moved your world view "camera" around.

Paronamixxe, 107 will be free for all users who bought AppGameKit!

If you don't buy AppGameKit you can only use the limited demo.

There's a patch coming out? where'd you hear that?

Yes it's free for everyone that has AGK.

If not there'll be an angry mob with torches storming TGC castle.

Nope, It'll get flooded with questions.

Quote: "Paronamixxe, names or numbers it works the same"


With the exception that names are also numbers, but names are actually variables storing integral values ( which is numbers ).
When you use a name, AppGameKit finds some spare number and assigns it to it. Simple as that.

Paronamixxe, I'm assuming by 'name' you mean either that you store the result from the CreateSprite command in a variable or that you use a defined constant and supply that as the CreateSprite command.

A code snippet of what you are trying that doesn't work would help us help you.

Cheers,

And the following when I am asking if it has been pressed (this is within a select value and then a case)(I just use the end command to see if it works)

It is probably worth noting that I define spritetouched before the do loop with

Well, you create the sprite with an id of 1 and then you compare spritetouched to 2.



That might be your basic problem right there.

Well when you show us example code using sprite 1, and more code using sprite 2, you expect us to be mind readers and guess you were deliberately referring to the correct sprite??

However, I'd use the GetSpriteHitTest command. (Simple code adapted to do what you wanted)...
