Well I clearly have a lot to learn, thank you so much! this worked perfectly, maybe I can actually advance my game now

Most of what I currently have is by trial and error, I'm new to AGS and stubbornly have started from scratch learning along the way. I have looked over the internet and forums over the week and have finally decided to post as I have found bits and pieces of what I need/want but am failing to understand how I am going to work around specific issues I am discovering along the way.

What I essentially want is a method of left clicking for eModeInteract + eModeWalkto and right click as eModeLookat, which I have done simple enough by editing the on_mouse_click and Process Click coding, I have also recently created a custom Inv GUI which is always available (not sure if this ties into my issues) on screen and used a player.ActiveInventory = inventory[game.inv_activated] command to help me select inventory items with my new mouse (if that makes sense) so a bit like Brokensword or The Dig.

But say I wanted to do the following on a door hotspot:

function door_UseInv() {   if (player.ActiveInventory == IKey) {   cChar.Say ("Hello!");   } else {   cChar.Say ("Goodbye!"); }

This will work fine but because interact, useinv, talk etc are all mashed into left click, it executes the actions one after another (which I guess is pretty obvious), so it will run the hotspot interact script and then the use inv script etc etc, the issue is that I stubbornly refuse to accept defeat on my single cursor idea, my coding is pretty messy since I'm using trial and error most of the time.

Is there a way to possible avert the interact and walkto clicks when I have an active inventory item? I'm not entirely sure on what's possible, I've tried a couple of things to no avail, I may have to ditch the idea completely since it's starting to drive me mad, here's the mess of code regardless:

function on_mouse_click(MouseButton button) {   if (IsGamePaused() == 1) { }   else if (button == eMouseLeft)   {     ProcessClick(mouse.x,mouse.y, eModeInteract);     ProcessClick(mouse.x,mouse.y, eModeWalkto);     ProcessClick(mouse.x,mouse.y, eModeUseinv);   }       else if (button == eMouseRight)// right-click, so Lookat   {        ProcessClick(mouse.x,mouse.y, eModeLookat);     mouse.Mode = eModeWalkto;    }   if (button == eMouseLeftInv)   {    player.ActiveInventory = inventory[game.inv_activated];   }   else if (button == eMouseRightInv)   {     inventory[game.inv_activated].RunInteraction(eModeLookat);   }
