I borrowed this from good ol' Planet Potter and I want to use it to pick up objects (hide them) like you do in morrowind... So whats wrong with it? I can't get the objects to disappear.


if mouseclick = 1
for p=34 to 38
if object visible(p)=1
sx=object screen x(p)
sy=object screen y(p)
mx=mousex() : my=mousey()
if mx>sx-100 and mx<sx+100 and my>sy-100 and my<sy+100
hide object p
endif
endif
next p
endif

We could have handled that better.

I'm not sure but are the signs of your Y conditions supposed to be the other way round? The best thing to do is actually use the Text command and display the co-ordinates of each of the mouse and objects to see that your values are within range of the object position.

what did you mean "are the signs of your Y conditions supposed to be the other way round?" I think the problems with the inequality, so explain please.

Sorry, thats my fault, I was thinking in terms of the axis of the object and the co-ordinates of the mouse being opposite but obviously the mouse and object screen positions should be of the same co-ordinate mapping. I.e. 0,0 is top left, 640, 480 is bottom right etc. But still, try actually displaying the co-ordinates of the object and mouse to see if the ranges are correct, and also place the sx-100, sx+100, sy-100 and sy+100 in brackets to ensure there's no confusion of B.O.M.D.A.S

Isn't it B.O.D.M.A.S?

Anyway, this is some much simplified code:

the OBJECT IN SCREEN() command is really buggy for me... that might be the problem.

I did remember reading somewhere that the command also appears to detect objects even behind the camera, but I'm not sure whether this has been fixed or not. I'm sorry I couldn't be of anymore help. I hope you do get it working though

Yeah, it's been fixed in patch 4. OBJECT IN SCREEN now works.
