I am making a small game that requires you click certain options, I want to make it so I can click cetain lines of text and do something.
I guess what I am really asking is how do you use X and Y coordinates with the mousehit() command?
I have tried: If MouseHit(1), 400,365 Then
But that doen't work :(

try mousex() and mouseY() these return the current position of the mouse.

So I would put something like:
If MouseX(400), MouseY(300) Then
But I don't think that's right.

No, they return the mouse position to you. So something like ...

if MouseX() = 400 And MouseY() = 300

... would work.

Here's a quick code example showing how you could put it together (just a guideline).

point = CreateImage(1,1)

...

If MouseHit(1)
	If ImagesOverlap(point, MouseX(), MouseY(), menu_item, 400, 300)
		Do_menu_item()
	Endif
EndIf

Or even simpler:

if mousehit(1)=1 and mousex()=400 and mousey()=300 then
 print "whatever"
endif

JFK: The reason I gave that example is because is EXCEEDINGLY hard to get pixel perfect accuracy using MouseX and MouseY. That would require the user to very carefully move the mouse and click.

Although he asked for this - I agree. To help the User he might add the following:

movemouse 400,300
Print "Now click, hurry!"
;)
