I have been trying to figure out how I could select a sprite by clicking on it. I found a way to do this using a lasso effect as seen with RTS games, however I am making a warmachine tabletop style game. I could accomplish this using buttons over each sprite, but only a maximum of 12 are allowed active on the screen at any time, so I am trying to avoid a clunky UI by just trying to code in a way to select a sprite by clicking on it..Any help would be appreciated

This can be done using GetPointerPressed() and GetSpriteHit() or GetSpriteHitGroup(). Take a look at these commands and you'll have a better idea how they work. I never use buttons, I prefer to make my own
