wait, would i create it using a paint program? and what code would i use?

I edited my post.

Well, i used the code, but it still doesnt work. Here's the full code im using.


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

BMAP* firebackground = "awesome-fire-dragon-ablaze.jpg"; // dragon fire background with button on it

PANEL* first_pan = // my first panel
{
pos_x = -40;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
bmap = firebackground;
button(300, 0, "stopclicked.jpg", "stopnormal.jpg", "stopnormal.jpg", quit_program, NULL, NULL);
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}
BMAP* pngRobot = "LDDScreenShot1.png"; // robot in foreground

PANEL* second_panel =
{
pos_x = -270;
pos_y = -100;
layer = 2;
bmap = pngRobot;
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function main()
{
video_mode = 7;
screen_color.red = 100;
}

function mouse()
{
mouse mode = 1;
while (1);
{
vec_set(mouse_pos, mouse_cursor);
wait(1);
}
}


function quit_program()
{
while (key_any) {wait (1);}
sys_exit(NULL);
}

try changine
sys_exit(NULL);
to be
sys_exit("");

If that doesnt help, put a beep(); into "quit_program"
to see if the button is even registering the click.
Can you see button image change from "stopclicked.jpg" to "stopnormal.jpg"
when the mouse hovers over it?

no, i cant see any change, i dont know what im doing wrong. the button shows up, but i cant click it or anything.

Try commenting out the definition of "second_panel" as a test.

Also what version of 3DGS are you using?
If you are using A7.63 or higher, you should be using the
SHOW flag on the panels, not VISIBLE as it was changed to SHOW in A7.63

[EDIT] Hehehe, good point Joozey. I didnt notice that the mouse never
gets turned on cause the mouse action is never actually called...

How about calling the mouse function first

the mouse function has been called hasnt it?


function mouse()
{
mouse mode = 1;
while (1);
{
vec_set(mouse_pos, mouse_cursor);
wait(1);
}
}

Try function mouse_startup(; so that it starts before the script or set inside of main to call up before the script needs it, then the mouse will be 'on' and you can click!

Well, now the engine wont start the script. Heres the full code.
