Checking if a number is between two values.

Killernotch101

I am making a 0 sprite button engine, (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/196292786/#editor)
which works by checking where the mouse X and Y is when the stage is clicked, and checking if there is a “button” there.
The problem, is when I'm checking if the mouse X/Y is in-between the boundaries of a button. Basically, how do I check if that number is in between the two? (Did I say that twice?)

For circular buttons you can check the distance from mouse to an specific point coordinates. Phytagoras.

define get if (a) is between (b) and (c)
set [between? v] to <<(a) > (b)> and <(a) < (c)>>

if <<<([x pos v] of [Mouse v]) > [#]> and <([x pos v] of [Mouse v]) < [#]>> and <<[] > []> and <[] < []>>> then //same thing for y pos in blank spot

end

Does this help?
Please note that I cannot view your project (iPad), so this may not fit into your program.

(Note says “same thing for y pos in blank spot”)

Double ninja… :(

This script is quicker.

This script is quicker.

But only finds it for one value, not two. Though you could easily modify it to have two. Either script works.

Remember, these two numbers have to be interchangeable. As in, if
I clicked at X=-50 Y=50,
The button X=-100 to 100
The button Y=-100 to 100
You know one of the X's or Y's are negative, but you don't know which one. Is this possible in a equation?
Thanks for the current replies. You guys are really helpful!

when green flag clicked
set [ person] to [0]

when [ timer] > (10)
repeat (length of [ world census] :: list)
change [ person] by (1)
hug [person]

define hug [ person]
hug [person]

You check for the little firstly and if in bounds do something,,else check for the larger.
Just remember that such method is for horizontal(X) and vertical(Y) sides.

It contains custom blocks for squared(horizontal/vertical) and circular boundaries, and the strategy you need for your buttons embeded inside others.

Thanks, @avisi
although I think I'm going to stick with square buttons.

Don't necropost, especially when the topic is already answered. Necroposting is to post on an old topic.

If you do something like

<[?] < [[Position]]>
<[?] > [[Position]]>

ideapad-320

<<<(mouse x)>[xmin]>and<(mouse x)<[xmax]>>and<<(mouse y)>[ymin]>and<(mouse y)<[ymax]>>>

EXCLUSIVE(excludes the min and max values)

not<<<(mouse x)<[x min]>or<(mouse x)>[x max]>>or<<(mouse y)<[x min]>or<(mouse y)>[x max]>>>

INCLUSIVE(contains the min and max values)
x man and max and y min max should be replaced by their respective values.
