Is there an easy way (or formula) to test if a mouse was clicked in a certain region on a sprite? For example, I have an image that is 100 x 100. If the user clicks anywhere in the square from 0, 0 to 49, 49 I take them to graphic 1. If they click anywhere in the square 50, 0 to 100, 50 I take them to graphic 2, etc. I also scale my images to fit the width of my screen, so it could be twice the size. I was looking for a function that would return my mouse pointer position X and Y relative to the X and Y position of the top left of the sprite. Does that make sense? Is there a function that would return that or is there a function that calculates this already?

You can use GetSpriteInBox() and offset the coordinates from the sprites position.

You can use GetSpriteHit() and GetSpriteXFromWorld( iSpriteIndex, x, y ) /GetSpriteYFromWorld( iSpriteIndex, x, y ) to find out where on the sprite it was clicked relative to the current sprite offset.


Alternatively, you could set the sprite up with 4 different box shapes and set each shape with a different sprite category.

Then you just use getspritehitcategory() to find out which (if any) of the 4 regions were clicked on. Its harder to set up but its then nice and easy to use.
