Hello,

In all rooms there are some buttons. If I move my mouse on one of them, it changes to a larger button. When I press on that larger button, it goes to a different room. If in that room a button is created under my mouse, this button doesn't change to the larger button. How can I prevent this and tell the button, if the mouse is already on it, then change to the larger button?

Thanks

I do not think there is an easy solution to your loading problem. You will have to make an ini file upon saving.

The button issue is easy to fix. Do not use the enter and leave events; use: if place_meeting(mouse_x,mouse_y,self).

Thanks for answer. Well, making my own save system complicates everything... how can I save all instance x and y coordinates and load them?
Tried your button solution, but it doesn't seem to work:

//Step event
if place_meeting(mouse_x,mouse_y,self)
{
    sprite_index = spr_button_on;
}
else
{
    sprite_index = spr_button;
}

Well it should work somewhat, but I made a mistake. It is position_meeting of course. The rest of your code is good.

Thanks, buttons are now changing correctly.
Only problem is, that I need to overwrite all my 30 buttons to use this feature.

Hi, again!

This solution for my button problem worked well, till I wanted to add a sound effect when changing sprite. It causes the sound to loop for ever:

//This code now works as I needed
if position_meeting(mouse_x,mouse_y,self)
{
    
    sprite_index = spr_on_on;
    if global.sound = 1 
    {
        if allow_sound = 1
        {
            sound_play(global.snd_on);
            allow_sound = 0;
        }
    }
}
else
{
    sprite_index = spr_on;
    if global.sound = 1 
    {
        if allow_sound = 0
        {
            sound_play(global.snd_on);
            allow_sound = 1;
        }
    }
}
}

What can I do to prevent the sound from looping?

EDIT: Well, never mind, I already figured out what I needed, just added new variable allow_sound = 1...
