I've created a sprite called spr_menu_1_normal, is it possible to do the following?

+ Code Snippet
if getpointerpressed() = 1
  if getspritehit (getpointerx(), getpointery()) = spr_menu_1_normal
    ...
    ...
  endif
endif


I've tried and it doesn't seem to register the click on that sprite. If I comment out the "if getspritehit..." line then the (global) click registers.

Might be down to local / global scope. Is the variable spr_menu_1_normal a global?

Err... not sure, pretty new to this stuff. Here's the full code:

+ Code Snippet
rem
rem AGK Application
rem

rem Portrait App
setvirtualresolution(480,800)

rem: Load menu images
img_menu_1_normal = loadimage ("begin.png")
img_menu_1_over = loadimage ("begin_over.png")


rem: Set images as sprites
spr_menu_1_normal = createsprite (img_menu_1_normal)
spr_menu_1_over = createsprite (img_menu_1_over)

rem: Hide the 'clicked' menu item
setspritevisible (spr_menu_1_over,0)




do

    if getpointerpressed() = 1
        if getspritehit (getpointerx(), getpointery()) = spr_menu_1_normal
          setspritevisible (spr_menu_1_normal,0)
          setspritevisible (img_menu_1_over,1)
        endif
    endif
 Sync()
loop

Ok, this is odd, I changed

img_menu_1_normal = loadimage ("begin.png")

to

loadimage (1,"begin.png")

and

spr_menu_1_normal = createsprite (img_menu_1_normal)

to

createsprite (1,1)

and tried

if getspritehit (getpointerx(), getpointery()) = 1

but still no joy. After a bit of debugging it seems it's looking for sprite 10001! If I put

if getspritehit (getpointerx(), getpointery()) = 10001

it works! Am I doing something wrong creating the images / sprites?

The problem here is that GetSpriteHit is returning the ID of spr_menu_1_over as this sprite is being drawn above spr_menu_1_normal. It should really detect that this sprite is invisible and ignore it when GetSpriteHit is being used.

Ahh! So even though sprites are invisible they are still being detected? So moving the over sprite would solve it? Thanks Mike, would never have thought of that.

Edit: Yup, that did the trick.
