I have these 3 "Buttons" that you can move between with the arrow keys. And when you press enter on the corresponding buttons you go to 3 different rooms depending on what button you are on. Well it is not working, and I was wondering if you guys had any like code ideas to do something like this.

-Thank you-

I have these 3 "Buttons" that you can move between with the arrow keys. And when you press enter on the corresponding buttons you go to 3 different rooms depending on what button you are on. Well it is not working, and I was wondering if you guys had any like code ideas to do something like this. Here is the code I tried and when I pressed right it skipped the medium button, and it wouldn't go to the room I wanted it to when I pressed enter. So what is a good way to do this? Here is the code I used:

Keyboard Event for Key Enter:

execute code:

if place_meeting(48,224,obj_easy_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_easy_room)
}

execute code:

if place_meeting(208,224,obj_medium_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_room)
}

execute code:

if place_meeting(368,224,obj_hard_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_hard_room)
}

Key Release Event for Key Left:

execute code:

if x=208
{
x=48
y=224
}


execute code:

if x=368
{
x=208
y=224
}


Key Release Event for Key Right:

execute code:

if x=48
{
x=208
y=224
}


execute code:

if x=208
{
x=368
y=224
}

That was copied out of the Show Information Button within the object.

I would just make your buttons seperate objects, put a left mouse click event then just use the drag and drop to go to the designated room.

Both code blocks are executed, so you need an else statement. Without one the x is changed to 208 which makes me the next part true, so x is changed again.
Also, changing the y is unnecessary if it never changes.

if x=48
{
x=208
}
else if x=208
{
x=368
}

That worked Fantastically jake. But how would I make the enter work?

[Jake Armstrong]

Does it always go to the easy room? place_meeting(48,224,obj_easy_difficulty) would likely always be true as there is always an easy button near 48, 224
You are changing x, so you probably want:
if place_meeting(x,224,obj_easy_difficulty) {
room_goto(Survival_easy_room)
} else if place_meeting(x,224,obj_medium_difficulty) {
// etc.

There are 3 different rooms, a easy, medium, and hard mode rooms. So would I do:

if place_meeting(48,224,obj_easy_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_easy_room)
}
else if place_meeting(208,224,obj_medium_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_medium_room)
}
else if place_meeting(368,224,obj_hard_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_hard_room)
}

wouldn't it be easier to do a variable not object check?
like so:

//this goes in the step event
if (keyboard_check_pressed(vk_left)) //mostly to move between buttons, select = 0 is easy, select = 1 is medium, select = 2 is hard
{
    global.select -= 1;
}
else if (keyboard_check_pressed(vk_right))
{
    global.select += 1;
};

if (global.select < 0) //if you have gone to far bellow
{
    global.select = 2;
}
else if (global.select > 2) //or to high
{
    global.select = 0;
};
if (keyboard_check_pressed(vk_enter)) //when you press enter you'll go to it
    {
    if (global.select == 0) //checks to see if it is selecting the easy button
     {
        room_goto(easy_room_level); //please change the room name
     }
     else if (global.select == 1) //ect...
     {
              room_goto(medium_room_level);
}
else if (global.select == 2) //more ect...
{
        room_goto(hard_room_level);
}
}

If you want to continue how you have it:

if place_meeting(x,224,obj_easy_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_easy_room)
}
else if place_meeting(x,224,obj_medium_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_medium_room)
}
else if place_meeting(x,224,obj_hard_difficulty)
{
room_goto(Survival_hard_room)
}

creators way is probably better if you wanted to try it as well (although I would change it so keyboard_check_pressed(vk_enter) is only used once the other ifs are inside it)

I tried creators124's way and it worked. Thank you Jake Armstrong and creators124 for your guy's help. This topic is solved.
