I'm making a clicker game but I don't know how to get the button right. So far I only have the button. So it would be really useful if someone could explain. Because, I tried to make the upgrades collectibles instead of upgrades but that didn't work, so if anyone could explain, please reply.

Thanks,

Sam

Ps. here's the link to the game. https://microstudio.io/i/P1X3L_2012/cookieclicker/

if you mean upgrades that make you gain more per click, you could simply increase a variable that's added to score. if you want to make an upgrade that automatically "clicks" you could make a function for them that automatically adds a certain amount to the score * amount of upgrades

and for the button, i'd recommend using the hit() function from the collisions library to check if the mouse is over a certain area and then check if mouse.press is true. then fill it with what you need for the upgrade

thanks I'll try it out

To make a upgrade, necessarily some if's, but to economize time, can you make a thing like this:

//Example function of button and money
if buttonPressed(upgrade_click) and money >= upgrade_click_money then //If you have money to this
money = money - upgrade_click_money
upgrade_click_money += inflation 
auto_clicks = auto_clicks + 1
end

init = function()
every 1 seconds do  //Every second do something
clicks += 1 * auto_clicks //This makes you don't make several if's
end

end

Note: If you want the time to decrease, you can create a variable called 'autoclicker_time', or any name you prefer, and with each upgrade, it decreases, and then you can put

every autoclicker_time seconds do

this makes the delay decrease!

However, this is the fastest and easiest way, so there may indeed be errors (rare). And it usually works for various cases. I hope I helped with something.

Buttons:

LIBs(exportable pre-written codes to help):

Can you use 'immediate mode gui' LIB, when you export, the link: https://microstudio.dev/i/gilles/imgui/

the code:

draw = function()
 if IMGUI.button("TEST1",-30,20) then
   button_clicks += 1
  end
//Other drawing thing's...
end

uses: Menu, UI, button of play(left, right, jump, etc), etc... Not is possible stylize... But is fast and easy!

Can you use 'touchButtons' LIB.

Is more complex than IMGUI... But stylizable!

This code is from Touch Buttons. Link: https://microstudio.dev/i/JimB007/touchbuttons/ Code:

update = function()
  
  // Update the touch buttons each frame
  touchbuttons.update()
  
  // Get button clicked (0 means none were clicked)
  if touchbuttons.clicked==btnToggledEnabled then
    btnFinal.enabled=not btnFinal.enabled
  end
  if touchbuttons.clicked==btnToggledVisible then
    btnFinal.visible=not btnFinal.visible
  end
  // If a button was clicked grab its label name
  if touchbuttons.clicked!=0 then
    lastpressed=touchbuttons.clicked.label
  end
end

note: To show the button, put on draw function touchbuttons.draw() uses: Advanced menu, advanced UI, etc...

No lib:

This is easy to do. link: https://microstudio.dev/i/levi_/test/ i've modified the code with comments about what's happening in the line code:

  if size_obj>50 then //Optional(It is about a click effect, a shrinking effect, and returning to size. It is necessary to place a draw, put the sprite, and set the width and height to the size for this to work.)
    size_obj-=5 //Decreasing
  end
  
  
    
    if  mouse.x>-25 and mouse.x<25 then click_x=true //He checks the ends of the object
  else click_x=false end
  
  if  mouse.y>-25 and mouse.y<25 then click_y=true //He checks the ends of the object
  else click_y=false end
  
  if click_x==true and click_y==true then can_click=true//If the mouse is within the edges of the object, it can click.
  else can_click=false end
  
  if mouse.press and can_click==true or keyboard.SPACE and can_click==true then
    number+=click_pow*multiply
    size_obj=70
    ptimer+=1
    click=true
  end

but... It's somewhat counterintuitive, but it's the same in the framework; however, you need to know exactly the position of the button in each corner, but the microstudio shows it, so there's no problem. But is stilizably, any image and any text. uses: All, shoot, button, advanced UI, advanced menu, etc...

What i recommend to you:

For the object that will be clicked: No lib or touchbuttons(https://microstudio.dev/i/JimB007/touchbuttons/). Why: It is more customizable, it can be an image.

For the upgrades: IMGUI. Why: IMGUI(https://microstudio.dev/i/gilles/imgui/) is aimed at simple buttons, like a menu.

I hope this will useful!
