Gui Button changes its graphic permanently when mouse is over

[AnasAbdin]

Hi all,
The title says it all. I'm trying to make a GUI button changes its graphic to another sprite when mouse is over, making sure it won't change back to it's normal graphic when mouse moves away.

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

if you want to change a buttons graphic when mouse over you could add this in global rep exec:

Code: ags

 
 // change the gui / button script name etc for your game
 if((mouse.x >Button48.X+gHealth.X)&&(mouse.x <Button48.X+Button48.Width+gHealth.X)){ 
 if((mouse.y >Button48.Y+gHealth.Y)&&(mouse.y <Button48.Y+Button48.Height+gHealth.Y)){
 if(Button48.NormalGraphic==519){
 Button48.NormalGraphic=510;
}
}
}

This should work and the button graphic will not return.

Thanks slasher. It worked
I've placed the code in the room's rep exec though. I was hoping if there was another way other than using the mouse's xy but I guess I'll stick to this method for the time.

Hi AnasAbdin,

It worked

I'm glad to hear it

The reason I use the code that way is that all the buttons on my gui are positioned at random.

A more elegant solution for mouse-over event would be :

Code: ags

// in repeatedly_execute_always
if (GUIControl.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == Button48) {
    //change graphic permanently with .NormalGraphic, as shown by slasher
}
