Problems with the hitboxes!

[Kasperelo]

Hi there! I'm trying to make a kind of "avoider" game where you
are getting followed by red dots and stuff, but I'm still stuck at the
hitboxes, 'cause I'm trying to make a menu with a start-button and
a help-button, but the hitboxes doesn't work! Please help me!

Hey,

when you require "hitboxes", the code inside the file is executed once. You have to put this code inside a function, e.g.

Code: Select all

function checkStartbutton()
  mouseX = love.mouse.getX()
  mouseY = love.mouse.getY()
  if mouseX > hitboxButtonStartLX and mouseX < hitboxButtonStartRX then
    if mouseY > hitboxButtonStartTY and mouseY < hitboxButtonStartBY then
      if love.mouse.isDown "l" then screen = "play"  end
    end
  end

end

Than you have to call this function on every love.update(dt).

Code: Select all

function love.update(dt)
  if screen == "menu" then checkStartbutton() end
  ...
end
