SOLVED Code Logic Error?

[Master Cabalist]

I have a small block of code that isn't executing. If I remove the check: if (global.lastLevel == 2) it executes. I do a test debug message statement before the code:

    show_debug_message("Passed Ex mouse check button");
    show_debug_message("lastLEvel value check is " +  string(global.lastLevel));
    if (global.lastLevel == 2)

The debug statement prints out 2 like it is supposed to. This has me puzzled.

//CLICK ON TO ENTER LEVEL
/*!!!!!!!!!!!!!*/
//Grasslands
if (mouse_check_button_released(mb_left))
{
    
    //Forest of Anguish
    if mouse_x < 390 && mouse_x > 340  && mouse_y > 320  && mouse_y < 370
    {
        if global.lastLevel == 1
        {
            global.completed_level1 = true
            global.lastLevel = 2
            show_debug_message("lastLevel value is " + string(global.lastLevel));
            global.game_map = 7;
            room_goto(SecondLevel)
        }
        
    }
}
        
//go to level 3
//Avalanche
if (mouse_check_button_released(mb_left))
{
    show_debug_message("Passed Ex mouse check button");
    show_debug_message("lastLEvel value check is " +  string(global.lastLevel));
    if (global.lastLevel == 2)
    {
        if mouse_x < 580 && mouse_x > 515  && mouse_y > 289  && mouse_y < 337
        {
            show_debug_message("Passed border lines Ex")
            //global.game_map = 6;
            global.completed_level2 = true
            global.game_map = 20;
            global.lastLevel = 3
            room_goto(ThirdLevel)
        }
    }
}

Is "Passed border lines Ex" showing up?

 

[Master Cabalist]

No. Its like I thought, Its not passing the moues check for some reason.

 

[BattleRifle BR55]

Draw the mouse coordinates and verify it's actually within those bounds.

 

[Master Cabalist]

I did. already. Do you think its the lastLEvel if statement then?

 

[BattleRifle BR55]

So the mouse is within those coordinates?

 

[Master Cabalist]

Yes. That's how I got the coordinates.

 

[Nidoking]

if mouse_x < 580 && mouse_x > 515 && mouse_y > 289 && mouse_y < 337

Just for a sanity check, would you mind adding another debug print before this line to print out the values of mouse_x and mouse_y?

 

[Master Cabalist]

Looks like the coordinates are different:

Mouse coordinates: 369 356 (x, y)

Now why is the question. It is displaying something different on screen.

 

[Master Cabalist]

The Y coordinate is probably right but one of the x coordinates is off. I don't know which are right, the ones reported by show_debug_message or the ones reported on screen, neither work properly. The show_debug_message coorvdinates launch the second level into the third level and the on screen coordinates don't do anything at all for the snow level (thirrd level)

So I ended up loading the debugger and using the coordinates for mouse_x and mouse_y from there and it worked. Peculiar.
