inventory type thing

<img src="http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh57/alspal/menu.png">

This is basically my menu thingo, each cell is a value.

When my variable equals the same as the cell value, the cell is selected (shows as '2' in the picture).

This is what I'm doing for moving down the menu ( in the first column):

-Down is pressed         |     
    -Value >= 1          |    Add 1 to value
    -Value <= 4          |
        -Value = 5       |    Set value to 1 

[/code:2x13z7np]

And a similar thing for moving up, except subtracting 1 from value.

This works fine, however I'm having trouble moving left/right

I've tried something like this (for moving right in the first row of the menu):

[code:2x13z7np]
-Right is pressed      |     
    -Value = 1         |    Add 4 to value
    - OR               |
    -Value = 5         |    
    - OR               |   
    -Value = 9         |
         -Value = 13   |    Set value to 1
[/code:2x13z7np]

However it doesn't always seem to work right. Is there a different/better way to code something like this?

Wouldn't it be easier if you used two values, one for the x position and one for the y? That's how arrays work, which look a lot like what you're making.

Could you post the .cap file? Makes it alot quicker to ascertain exactly what's going on.

Thanks.

I might try that idea Arima. The reason they are only a single value at the moment, is cause I'm working with the unique ID of the object, since all the cells are the same object.

Rich, I'm not sure if I should, its got hundreds of events and they're filled with a lot of crap.

YOu could make a 2d array and set values for each 'cells' in the array depending on the values on oyur menu..

Then when navigating the menus you use the x-y method and then just get the unique id form the object which is found at x,y(where your pointer is at)
