I'm doing something really stupid I'm sure!

I have a button in my menu scene. It has a global variable set of 'Garage_powerbutton'

In my loop for the scene, I have for testing it:

if GetButtonPressed(Garage_powerbutton)
end
endif

The button gets clicked, but nothing happens.

What have I misunderstood?

Ta.

Bugger... sorry.

So it does work if I click it on android. But it doesn't work if I mouse click it in windows.

Why would that be?

are you sure you want a Button vs a VirtualButton?

Buttons are for emulating joysticks. if you have a joystick plugged in, that's where AppGameKit will look for the input. otherwise, with your code above, press <space>?

if you did intend to use a virtual button, see here. it might save you another headache.

i should add, i've never used Studio so i don't know how it presents "Buttons" within a Scene/what exactly to expect from them, there.

Thanks, I've changed it to getvirtualbuttonpressed() and it works on both now.
