Using the mouse pointer to collide with images...
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Using the mouse pointer to collide with images...

| Is this possible? I want to show the standard windows mouse pointer in fullscreen mode to collide with the images instead of creating a mouse pointer image, and using that image to test for collisions. Basically, I want to pick up images and move them with the mouse a place them down on another part of the screen. |

| Do you mean you want to see if the mouse pointer is on top of an image? If so, you can use the command ImageRectCollide(). It was in B+, and its probably in BMX, but I'm not sure, and it could be another name. You check a 1x1 rectangle at the coordinates of the mouse pointer and see if they collide. Its something like this: ImageRectCollide(myimage,imgx,imgy,MouseX(),MouseY(),1,1) |

| Can't find the imagerectcollide command or anything similar. Possibly an oversight unless there is another way that I can't see. Surely, we don't have to draw a dummy 1 pixel image at mousex()/mousey() and use that... do we? <edit> Obviously you can't use a substitute mouse image or else you'll get collisions with the tail end. |

| Oh well, it was in B+, and I thought it would have been put into BMX. I guess not. In that case, you could just take the position of the image and find out manually if the mouse is over it. If MouseX()>=x If MouseX()<=x+w etc. |

| There is a CollideRect() function, but I have no idea how to use it nor whether it's similar to the old ImageRectCollide() function of B+/B3D. Talks about collision layers, which I've not experimented with yet, but might be what you're looking for. |

| Thanks JazzieB. There's an example HERE |

| Thanks! It'll check it out. |
