I don't have much experience with Construct 3 and I'm struggling a bit. I have shared a link to a copy of my nascent project below.

What I hoped it would do...

There are two playing pieces on the board. They flash if selected.

1) Left-click on a playing piece to select it and deselect any other piece if that is already selected.

2) Left-click on the square, blue button on the right to move the selected piece to the middle-ish of the board.

3) Left-click anywhere else to unselect the selected piece.

Items 1 & 3 work...but item 2 does not. Can you tell me why?

Thanks, Jim

Seems like event "On Left button Clicked" is triggered before "On Left button Clicked on Button1". This deselects the object so your 3rd line of code will never work.

Fix

In the event "On Left button Clicked" you can add a condition

Mouse -> cursor is NOT over Button1 and it will work

Your fix works just fine.

So when the manual says "Events run top to bottom" I should take that with a pinch of salt!

Thanks, Jim
