Mouse Commands: Mouse.ButtonWait and Mouse.Where

[bwong]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I am making a menu, where when users scroll over an object, the name attributed to the object will appear, and when the user scrolls away from the object, it will go back to black. at the same time, I want to make it so that when the user clicks on it, the object will link to somewhere else.


What is the problem you are having?
I am able to have both of these functions work independently, but when I try to implement them together, it does not work.

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
All variables have been declared beforehand.

Turing:

%%%MAIN MENU%%% %This creates the on-mouse-over effect loop Mouse.Where (mousex, mousey, mousedown) if mousex >= 584 and mousex <= 690 and mousey >= 100 and mousey <= 220     then Font.Draw ("Exit", 690, 100, font1, white) elsif mousex >= 170 and mousex <= 259 and mousey >= 265 and mousey <= 371     then Font.Draw ("Test", 125, 265, font1, white) elsif mousex >= 364 and mousex <= 443 and mousey >= 289 and mousey <= 357     then Font.Draw ("Information", 545, 303, font1, white) elsif mousex >= 256 and mousex <= 325 and mousey >= 399 and mousey <= 467     then Font.Draw ("Results", 160, 438, font1, white) elsif mousex >= 066 and mousex <= 145 and mousey >= 357 and mousey <= 445     then Font.Draw ("Animation", 015, 350, font1, white) else     erasetext end if end loop %This enables the button down option Mouse.ButtonWait ("down", mousex, mousey, mousesel, mousedown if mousex >= 584 and mousex <= 690 and mousey >= 100 and mousey <= 220     then cls elsif mousex >= 170 and mousex <= 259 and mousey >= 265 and mousey <= 371     then cls elsif mousex >= 364 and mousex <= 443 and mousey >= 289 and mousey <= 357     then cls elsif mousex >= 256 and mousex <= 325 and mousey >= 399 and mousey <= 467     then cls elsif mousex >= 066 and mousex <= 145 and mousey >= 357 and mousey <= 445     then cls end if

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1

Look at the comments I put in.

The issue is that you are using cls. This clears the entire screen, not just the box. Instead, you should say something like draw a box over the selected area. Just to make you life easier, if I were you, I would scrap the second set of ifs. Instead, use that drawfillbox method I talked about and put it beforehand. That way, it'll always draw the black boxes in, but it'll write over it if the mouse is over the box.

My bad. The cls was only used to indicate that the click function worked (independently) because I haven't finished everything else yet.

Oh, and at BadSniper, how would, or what should I do to implement such boolean variables?
