Event on click on an object

Hi,
I just discovered GameDevelop and tried to do some simple things. For example, I wanted to create an event that triggers when the player clicks on a certain object. As this is very basic, I guess theres an easy way to do it, but I couldn’t find it. Is there a place where one can look simple things like this up? The wiki and documentation weren’t particularly helpful.

Another, more general question: I wanted to create a boardgame, similar to checkers, for play against the AI. In order to do this, I need some sort of evaluation of a position, that is, a function that looks at a scene, and counts and checks positions of certain objects and then does some calculations with the result. Is this possible with GameDevelop, or am I on the wrong track?

Sorry if answers to those questions can be found somewhere, but I searched and didn’t find them…

Hi,

To test if the player clicks on an object, you have to use 2 conditions : one checking if the left mouse button is down (“Mouse” category) and the other testing if the mouse is over the object (“All objects” or “Sprite” category).

I’ve added an example called “Buttons” in the latest version: Just download the latest version of Game Develop and open it :slight_smile:
I’ve also added an article on the wiki so that it will be shown when one will be searching for information about how to create a button : compilgames.net/wiki/doku.php/en … ingbuttons
