Hola!
Before you roll your eyes, I know there are a bunch of similar posts already but I've given them an eyeball and the suggestions in those (eg. device_mouse_x_to_gui, view_x) seem to have no impact whatsoever. I thought maybe drawing clickable buttons to the GUI when using a view had an effect, but disabling views doesn't make any difference. I also read elsewhere that the x2 and y2 parts of point_in_rectangle shouldn't(?) be higher values than x1 and y1, but that doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.
So what's my actual problem?
The code for my first button works perfectly, whether I'm using views or not:
but the second button, though it draws the sprite and rectangle correctly (ie they match onscreen), doesn't register any mouse interaction at all:
and here's the switch statements at the end of the code:
I bet the answer's really bloody obvious, isn't it?

Code:
//First button!
if point_in_rectangle(window_mouse_get_x(),window_mouse_get_y(),32,32,64,64) && hovering = 0
{

};

Code:
//Second button!
if point_in_rectangle(window_mouse_get_x(),window_mouse_get_y(),70,64,100,32) && hovering = 0
{
draw_set_alpha(0.8);

draw_rectangle(70,64,100,32,true);
draw_sprite(spr_tower_green,image_index,85,49);
Code:
//Now we clean up our drawing
draw_set_alpha(1); //Reset the alpha
draw_set_color(c_white); //Reset the color
draw_set_halign(fa_left); //Reset the horizontal align
//We check if the mouse has been pressed on any of the buttons
if mouse_check_button_pressed(mb_left) && hovering > 0
