This is a simple mouse over text detection example.
Made it to help someone else's question but figured I'd post it here.
Also this isn't optimized, I tried to make it more for learning than optimization.
For instance:
function _mot(_t) --if mouse is within the text -- boundaries then set that -- text.over to equal true if(_mx>=_t.x and _mx<(_t.x+(#_t.str*4)-1) and _my>=_t.y and _my<(_t.y+5) ) then _t.over = true else _t.over = false end end |
Could be easily simplified to:
function _mot(_t) --if mouse is within the text -- boundaries then set that -- text.over to equal true _t.over=(_mx>=_t.x and _mx<(_t.x+(#_t.str*4)-1) and _my>=_t.y and _my<(_t.y+5) ) end |
Everything is commented best I could, but feel free to ask questions if any arise.

This is awesome! You could use this in a game and it would probable get very popular.
