Finding if a certain image is below my cursor
by Bruno · in Torque Game Builder · 06/17/2007 (3:53 am) · 6 replies
This is the ideia, i move my cursor around, and i click in an image.
I need to know if that image was clicked or not.
I know how to do this with tilemaps, and finding if the mouse was clicked in a cell, but i don't want to use
tilemaps.
I was thinking in having an invisible image, that when i clicked with the mouse in a area of the screen, i would move that image to the cursor and check collision between the invisible image and the image i was clicking on.
So, my questions would be, is there a simpler "less messy way" of knowing if i'm clicking on a image ? (by image, imagine a situation like a hide & seek game like Raven mysterie files where you have a background, and then for example a image of a rabbit somewhere in the screen).
thanks

Ok, i have a static image,
i gave it a class name "lemon" and enabled "Use mouse events" on it.
Now, i do i get a callback on him ?
i did,
function lemon::onMouseDown( %this, %mod, %worldPos, %mouseClicks )
{
echo("LIMAO");
}
But still doens't work.

Actually, i don't think we can use this, because that callback is from t2dsceneobjets.

How did you do that? using a onMouseEnter callback?

I declared a class, like above, class lemon
function lemon::onMouseUp(%this, %modifier, %worldPosition, %clicks)
{
and activated this option for the general window manager :
sceneWindow2D.setUseObjectMouseEvents(1);
and that's it

Nope, using a onMouseUp for the image itself.I declared a class, like above, class lemon
function lemon::onMouseUp(%this, %modifier, %worldPosition, %clicks)
{
and activated this option for the general window manager :
sceneWindow2D.setUseObjectMouseEvents(1);
and that's it

Thats the callback page for t2dsceneobjects. There are bunch of mouse callbacks you can use. That's probably the easiest/less messy way ;)
