(Said I wasn't very far...)
I'm also now getting a error I'm don't remember being there before:

You're trying to use the handle 'mouse cursor' before you've given it a value. It seems like that first bolded line should be in the mouse update loop instead. |

Maybe I should've explained that better.
The second bolded line is supposed to set walkabout sprite (1) as the pic. The first bolded line is supposed to check to see if the mouse is inside the other slice, and if so, change the pic to walkabout sprite (2).
How would this get rewritten to achieve this? Should I put the second bolded line in setup script? Like, one to assign values to the variables?

Your "if(slice contains)" belongs in the mouse update loop, not in the new-game script.
An "if" command is only evaluated once. It is like:
if (condition) is true RIGHT NOW then(do stuff)
what the "if" command cannot do is:
if (condition) is true now or at any point in the future then(do stuff)
Also, when your mouse is in the move-left area, you should change the cursor with "replace walkabout sprite". if you use "load walkabout sprite" you will load a new copy of the mouse cursor without removing the old one.

global variable(
1, mouse cursor
2, move-left

setup camera
end
script, mouse update loop, begin
set slice x (mouse cursor, mouse pixel x)
set slice y (mouse cursor, mouse pixel y)
if (slice contains (move-left, mouse cursor)) then (
replace walkabout sprite (mouse cursor, 2)
)else(
replace walkabout sprite (mouse cursor, 1)
)
set timer (timer:mouse, 0, 1, @mouse update loop)
end

put camera (0,0)

In other words, I really need to hanker down and force myself to understand loops.
I'm trying to figure this out right now, and I'll let you guys know if I do, but as of yet I haven't had any luck: How do I now add a few more slices to be checked as well?

you will want more checks in the mouse update loop.
Or better yet, move the checks into a separate script. I think I would organize it like this:
| Code: |
script, mouse update loop, begin
set slice x (mouse cursor, mouse pixel x)
set slice y (mouse cursor, mouse pixel y)
replace walkabout sprite (mouse cursor, current cursor number)
set timer (timer:mouse, 0, 1, @mouse update loop)
end
script, current cursor number, begin
if (cursor should change) then (
exit returning(2)
)
exit returning(1)
end
script, cursor should change, begin
if(slice contains (move-left, mouse cursor)) then(exit returning(true))
# add more checks here!
exit returning(false)
end

I'm feeling really stupid right now.
I understand the 'moving from one script to the next' part well, but that's about it. For instance...
What does the 'exit returning' do? And how does this new script change the mouse visual, exactly?
Sorry if I'm being a bother. I just REALLY want to have mouse compatability in this game, and want a total grasp on it, just in case I decide to make more games with a mouse in them.

Don't worry. you aren't :) This stuff just takes some time to learn.

exit returning causes the script to quit and return a value. For example:
| Code: |
plotscript, my script, begin
show value(lucky number)
end
script, lucky number, begin
exit returning(random(1, 100))
end
|
Okay, that is a dumb example, but hopefully it makes sense. the "lucky number" script returns the random number, and the "show value" displays that number
In the mouse example, the "cursor should change" script returns true if the mouse cursor sprite is colliding with any of the areas that should cause it to change, otherwise it returns false.
the mouse visual is changed by the "replace walkabout sprite" command. That command changes which walkabout sprite the mouse cursor slice is using, but it does not create a new slice.

Not a bother. Mouse support is important. |

Okay. Makes a lot more sense now. I actually figured out the piece of 'clicking on the slice = do this' on my own.
