Music Bar;Drawn

[JamiezRascall]

Ok this is what I got currently if any one can help please do

In function love.load() I've got for the menu;

Code: Select all

 MouseX = love.mouse.getX()
 MouseY = love.mouse.getY()

and in function love.draw() I've got for the menu;

Code: Select all

if(MouseX == 260 and MouseY == 260) 
  then do
    love.graphics.rectangle(line,260,260,50,20)
    love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
    end 

Should this work if I put my cursor at 260 X axis and 260 Y axis it should draw the box right?

No, this works only if you put your mouse at 260,260 during startup, you should move the getX/Y statements to love.update.

I thought that but then I thought it was only a timer function D:

Heres another question if I wanted like a area of the screen instead of a point how would i do it with the if???

[bartbes]

something like:

Code: Select all

if mouseX < upperXbound and mouseX > lowerXbound and mouseY < upperYbound and mouseY > lowerYbound then

[JamiezRascall]

Oh gawd..

It still will not draw the graphics when I go over the position...

function love.load()

Code: Select all

MouseX = love.mouse.getX()
 MouseY = love.mouse.getY()

function love.update(dt)

Code: Select all

if(MouseX == 300 and MouseY == 320) 
  then do
    love.graphics.rectangle(fill,260,260,100,40)
    love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
    end

function love.update(dt)

That is the problem. Do drawing stuff in love.draw().

[bartbes]

So, basically, what you listed as love.load goes to love.update and what you listed as love.update goes to love.draw.

What's wrong with:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
    if love.mouse.getX() == 300 and love.mouse.getY() == 320 then
        love.graphics.rectangle(fill,260,260,100,40)
        love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
    end
end

?

[bartbes]

Nothing.

What's wrong with:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
    if love.mouse.getX() == 300 and love.mouse.getY() == 320 then
        love.graphics.rectangle(fill,260,260,100,40)
        love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
    end
end

?

One pixel is still an awfully small piece of screen. As bartbes pointed out earlier, using an upper and lower bound is better.

Example

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
    local mouseX = love.mouse.getX()
    local mouseY = love.mouse.getY()
    if mouseX > 300 and mouseX < 310 and mouseY > 320 and mouseY < 330 then
        love.graphics.rectangle(fill,260,260,100,40)
        love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
    end
end

Something like that.
