[Solved] Outlining won't work no matter what I do :(

[MrMen]

The collision mask in your screen shot was incorrect.

And what do you mean exactly when you say hover doesn’t work? The animations don’t change, or something else?

I changed the collision mask so it’s 2 collision masks now:

And the animations do change but the white outline only goes away when the mouse is completely off the game screen. It’s supposed to change when it’s off the object

I could’ve sworn I tested your code. I must not have used a mask. **cursor is on object" ignores the collision mask. It just checks the bounding box. You can use point is inside

More accurate clicks on objects

Three options that I know of: “Mouse is over” condition: This will ignore object collision masks and will only check if the mouse is in the aabb of the object (the rectangle from the upper left most point to the lower right most point). This is the least accurate. “Point is inside object” condition using rhe MouseX/Y expressions as the point. This will adhere to the object collision masks. Very accurate but the collision mask will be the same as the the normal object, so you can’t have a separ…

It looks like it the condition did use the mask in v4 but it was removed. The accurate option does nothing and was planned for removal.

Accurate? Yes/No

The cursor/touch is on an object. Accurate? Yes/No What is the difference?

Tysm! Though I’m confused as to how I’m supposed to set the “point is inside” up. The thread you linked says I have to crate a spirte for the mouse?

[Keith_1357]

The mouse object technique was just 1 option.

You can use point is inside

Thank you it works now! Do you also know how I can make it so that the animation changes to a different image when I click it? I tried but it only shows the image when the mouse click is released and disappears right after, I want it to stay like that

I’m assuming you’re doing a classic point and click adventure game. I love the style but I’ve never tried making one.

You could use variable(s). I’m just not sure on the best strategy. You could use a global variable.

If global variable DoorIsOpen is false
(Subevents)
–point is not inside no highlight
–point is inside highlight
– point is inside and mouse is down set global variable DoorIsClosed is true

If global variable DoorIsOpen is true
(Subevents)
– show next image
– if point is inside or clicked do something

This method isn’t easily expandable. You could switch to the next scene when this image is clicked. Maybe a new scene for each room. IDK. As I said, I’ve never made this type of game you could then use the same technique.

IDK. I would search the forum or the web.
