At my school project I am making the RTS-like game. We want an interface with buttons and functions, etc on it. We are trying to use Gamestudio's standard setup for displaying different buttons when you go over the button with your mouse and for functions.

But none of these functions work... They dont respond at all. And I do have mouse mode set on 1. In fact we had buttons in our last project and they did changed when we would hover over them.

But that was version 6.22! We have 6.40.5 now, do you know if anything here changed?

Thanks in advance

-are the buttons in the range of the bmp from the panel?
-do they have a layer?
-did u defined a mouse_map?
-are there diffrent bmps for every panel state?

-are the buttons in the range of the bmp from the panel?
Don't know exactly what you mean, but the buttons are visible

-do they have a layer?
Yes, I even have different layers for different option cards

-did u defined a mouse_map?
mouse_map = 0; => no effect that I can see
mouse_map = 1; => crash
mouse_map = 2; => crash

-are there diffrent bmps for every panel state?
Yes but neither the different bmaps or the functions work, so I get the feeling its something with the mouse detection.

Thanks for help so far, please help me solve this!

it must be :

mouse_map = your_mouse.bmp;
mouse_mode=2;

That's not correct. It must be:
Code:

---

bmap BmpMouseMap = "yourfile.bmp";
function examplefunction()
{
	mouse_mode = 1;
	mouse_map = BmpMouseMap;
	[...]
}

Hi Wouter!

Try this ....for the mouse

Code:

---

 bmap younameitbmp = <"drawing.pcx">; //dessin corel draw 


function my_mouse_fction ()
{
	enable_mouse = on; 
	mouse_mode = 1;
	MOUSE_MAP = younameitbmp; 

	mouse_range= 1500; // only near Entities are clickable
	
	MOUSE_spot.x = bmap_width(cross)/2; // hot spot in the middle
	MOUSE_spot.y = bmap_height(cross)/2; // hot spot in the middle

	
	while (MOUSE_MODE > 0) // move it over the screen
	{ 
		MOUSE_POS.X = POINTER.X;
		MOUSE_POS.Y = POINTER.Y;
		wait(1);
	}
} 

---

Try this for the panel...

Code:

---

 bmap door__y = <console_door__yellow.pcx>;
bmap door__g = <console_door__green.pcx>;

panel door_menu
{
	pos_x = 725;
	pos_y = 500;
	layer = 4;
	alpha = 100;
	button = 0,0,door__y,door__y,door__g,m_door_,null, null; 
	flags = overlay; 
}

Hope this helps. :0

Ok I tried all your suggestions and it finally works now!

Although I have 1 thing left: The new arrow is shown over the system arrow, so I got two arrows, and the arrow I made myself won't leave the screen...

Anyway thanks for all the help so far!

mouse_pointer=0;

(see signa...)
