How to create a section of touch.

NoobieCoder

I have a rectangle of space and I want it to display something else when that rectangle is touched.

I think if I use CurrentTouch I can do it but I'm not sure, maybe something like

If CurrentTouch.x = ___ then do ____ else do continue

Does this have anything to do with your other post.

NoobieCoder

Nope. Different project.

@NoobieCoder, if you only have a month to finish and you aren't sure where to start, I wouldn't try and start another project at the same time... Just my opinion.

@NoobieCoder Does this help. Code changed from original post.

-- Scorpio Races App
displayMode(FULLSCREEN)

-- Function for setup
function setup()
    print("Novemeber Magic Theme Park App!")
    str=""
end
-- This function gets called once every frame
function draw()
-- Background
    background( 0 )

--Rectangles for Display/Tabs
    --fill(30, 32, 54, 255)
    --rect( 0, 0, 9000, 650 )

--Box1
    fill(255, 166, 0, 255)
    rect( 0, 650, 260, 300 )

--Box2
    fill(251, 255, 0, 255) 
    rect( 260, 650, 260, 300 )

--Box3
    fill(12, 255, 0, 255)
    rect( 520, 650, 260, 300 )

--Box4
    fill(0, 71, 255, 255)
    rect( 780, 650, 260, 300 ) 

--Texts  

        fill(255,0,0)
        text("Welcome to the November Magic Theme Park!", 500, 500) 
        
        text(str,sx,sy)
--Cursor 
        --fill( 255, 0, 0 )
        --ellipse ( CurrentTouch.x, CurrentTouch.y, 30 ) 
--TouchSelection

end

function touched(t)
    if t.state==BEGAN then
        if t.x>0 and t.x<260 and t.y>650 and t.y<950 then
            str="Display text in box 1"
            sx=130
            sy=930
        end
        if t.x>260 and t.x<520 and t.y>650 and t.y<950 then
            str="Display text in box 2"
            sx=390
            sy=930
        end
        if t.x>520 and t.x<780 and t.y>650 and t.y<950 then
            str="Display text in box 3"
            sx=650
            sy=930
        end
    end
end

Doesn't seem like it. This is my current code:

-- Scorpio Races App

-- Function for setup
function setup()
    print("Novemeber Magic Theme Park App!")
end
-- This function gets called once every frame
function draw()
-- Background
    background( 0 )

--Rectangles for Display/Tabs
    fill(30, 32, 54, 255)
    rect( 0, 0, 9000, 650 )

--Box1
    fill(255, 166, 0, 255)
    rect( 0, 650, 260, 300 )

--Box2
    fill(251, 255, 0, 255) 
    rect( 260, 650, 260, 300 )

--Box3
    fill(12, 255, 0, 255)
    rect( 520, 650, 260, 300 )

--Box4
    fill(0, 71, 255, 255)
    rect( 780, 650, 260, 300 ) 

--Texts  

        fill(255,0,0)
        text("Welcome to the November Magic Theme Park!", 500, 500) 
--Cursor 
        fill( 255, 0, 0 )
        ellipse ( CurrentTouch.x, CurrentTouch.y, 30 ) 
--TouchSelection

    end

I want it so that in every time you touch the rectangle, it is like a tab, and displays different information.

@NoobieCoder I changed my code above. Is that more like what you're after. Tap each square.
