How do i draw a button on top of another button, and how do i erase said drawn on top button after

[Raditude]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Trying to put a button on top of another button, and also erase this button after im done with it


What is the problem you are having?
Whenever i "draw" a button on top of another and i click it, it only senses that im clicking the button underneath.
How do i make it so that the button is truly on top, and what is the command to erase a button afterwards?


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem

I've tried changing the location of the button on top to just slightly above, but it still doesn't work.


Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1 alpha

Tip: Don't use the Turing GUI unless you have to. It's terrible.

its easier if you do it with mousewhere

There is no z-ordering for Turing's GUI buttons; that is, neither button is "on top", they are all on the same flat field. Always. If one button is drawn after another, then its outline will make it look more complete.

If two buttons overlap in the click space, it appears that the earlier created button will register the event first. You could disable a button to make it unclickable. Note: the button does not even need to be drawn to be clicked -- this confuses some people.

Another note: Mouse.Where will have the same issues (can't distinguish between two overlapping regions), but since you are not making any assumptions about the system it will be easier to understand and work around the problem.

My Suggestion is to look into the GUI.Disable command. This should stop from the first occuring button to be clicked rather than the one that occurs on top of it. Whenever you want to change to the earlier button use GUI.Disable. I recommend that you organize your code into procedures when doing this.

Are you using Turing's GUI, or your own buttons?
If the answer is the GUI, I recommend that you do it yourself, as the GUI is not very versatile.

If it is not the GUI, then the only way you can get help is to post the code.
If it is the GUI, you might want to post the code anyway.
