So I am trying to click a sprite. But I have a problem


If I remove the getpointerpressed()=1 and put my mouse under it "Hit!" Is printed. Why does it not work if getpointerpressed() is added at the start? I have tried this with getpointerpressed/released/state = 1

thanks

GetPointerPressed() happens for only one cycle. Then it returns back to 0.

Did you mean to use GetPointerState(), which remains at 1 while the mouse button is down?

@BatVink Yes, I have tried that too. A weird problem is, that it works if the sprites position is 0,0, but only if I press the left half of the sprite, regardless if I have screentoworld enabled. Ive had this problem about a year ago too. Its a very inconsistent bug because in my other game, is have


which works perfectly, but does not work in my current preoject.

Are you zooming or offsetting the view? If so, you'll need to use screentoworldx(getpointerx())... also, I find it very useful to assign sprites to groups and use getspritehitgroup.
i.e.



Also be aware that these collision detection commands will use the shape of the sprite for collision, not necessarily what you can see. SetPhysicsDebugOn() could help.

I have used screentoworldx before and it didn't help. The view offsets throughout the game but in this main menu it stays at 0,0
This is the sprite

the sprite is at 0,0. the red part on the right if pressed does nothing, but the left side works

However, if I use getpointerstate = 1 and press and hold onto the working side of the sprite, then drag it onto the right side, it works on the red part, until i take my cursor off and press again the right side doesnt work.


Also it does not work if sprite position is anything other than (0,0)
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I tried setting it as a physics object, SetPhysicsDebugOn() and the outline of the sprite covered the whole thing but yet again only the left side worked.

What happens if you do this?
Signature removed by mod because it's larger than 600x120... please resize and try again.

Haha! Yes, "invisible" ads can prevent clicks from working! Good thinking Markus.

@Mobiius Same as last time, when I do that only the left half works when pressed, as you can see with the faint "Hit!" print.


Again, the right side doesnt work.

@Markus & @CJB I don't have any adverts. Even if I did, I never use create advert, only ShowFullscreenAdvertAdMob()

If it helps, could it be anything related to my early set-up? Maybe a function that messes with other things?

you should extract this part and make a Test() Function which you call direct after SetPhysicsDebugOn()

Use GetSpriteHit to find out the ID of the sprite that is hit.

Maybe there's another invisible sprite with a depth lower than the playbutton, and this sprite is partially overlapping the playbutton.

So after ALL this time, turns out I had an invisible joystick taking up most of my screen without setvirtualjoystick(1,0). Damn
