HELP: MOUSE-CLICK NOT RESPONSIVE

hello everyone:

on my game menu screen, i have a 3 sprite objects showing custom imagines that depict difficulty levels (e.g, "easy", "regular", "hard"). so when you left-click "easy", the easy sprite changes to show that it's highlighted.

my problem is this: the left-click "code" works, exactly as i wanted but it's not responsive...sometimes i left-click on the sprites nothing happens, and so i end up left-clicking all over the "easy" sprite until the code is "activated" and the image changes. i have the same "unresponsive" issue with the other 2 sprites, what can be the problem and how shall i correct it?

please help, this is not a good way to have my game working...with unresponsive menus, right from the get go.

Post a .capx

how do i post a capx?

You could probably solve it by adding a system wait 0 before you change the state of your sprite.

I'm guessing you have an event straight after this one to do the opposite of this event and they both get triggered.

It would be better to create an else event in order to toggle.

On clicked if these conditions are met - do this

else - do that

LittleStain: if its not too much trouble, can you please give me an example "code" of the "On clicked if these conditions are met - do this

else - do that", or how to "a system wait 0"?

how about checking your collision box of the image?

what's a "collision box of the image" and how do i check/alter it?

sorry about all the basic questions; new to C2 from GM 8.1. sorry about all the basic questions, and thank you all for all your help

Double click on your sprite object which will pop up a image editor.

On the left side of the image editor select "set collision polygon", which is the last icon.

The blue box is the area that can be clicked.
