Is there a way to check what... (screen_loc related)

What kind of screen object another screen object is on?

As screen objects cannot be "on" screen objects, the question makes no sense.

For lack of better wording. A "movable" screen object (like a cursor), is there anyway to check what it's on?
client
    var
        obj/hud/cursor/cursor
        cursorx=4
        cursory=9
    North()
        if(cursor)
            if(cursory==9) return
            cursory++
            del(cursor)
            cursor=new(src)
            cursor.screen_loc="[cursorx],[cursory]"
        else ..()
    South()
        if(cursor)
            if(cursory==2) return
            cursory--
            del(cursor)
            cursor=new(src)
            cursor.screen_loc="[cursorx],[cursory]"

That's what I'm doing to move the cursor around.

You could probably loop over client.screen and look for other screen objects with an identical screen_loc.

I see. I was hoping there'd be another way (incase two options appear in different menus, but same screen_loc), but that works. Thanks.

There certainly is another way, if you represent your menus as objects. Then it's simply a matter of fetching menu.elementAt(cursor.position).
