    action 
    { 
        play "mouse_click";
        setdvar dvar_1 "1";
    }
    mouseEnter 
    {
        play "mouse_over";
        setdvar dvar_1 "2";
    }
    mouseexit        
    { 
        setdvar dvar_1 "0";
    }
}

you can use exp material and set the pic from gsc and chang it when ever you want
or just use background for a single pic
can use

itemDef                                                                        
{                                                                            
    name            "goku"  
    type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
    rect            -220 -285 120 200 HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_CENTER VERTICAL_ALIGN_BOTTOM
    forecolor        1 1 1 1                                         //ALLMoDs\\
    style            WINDOW_STYLE_SHADER
    exp material    (dvarString("goku_switch"))
    visible 1
    action 
    { 
        scriptMenuResponse "picked_goku";
        setdvar you_got_it "0";
        close self;
    }
    mouseEnter 
    {
        setdvar goku_switch "goku_icon_ssj";
        scriptMenuResponse "sound_goku";
    }
    mouseexit        
    { 
            setdvar goku_switch "goku_icon";
    }
}

the pic switches and when clicked munu will send a scriptMenuResponse for that close menu and on mouseEnter will play a sound
all this is set up in gsc like this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

ipicked()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill("menuresponse",menu,response);
        {
            if(response == "picked_goku")
            {
                level notify( "1st_picked" );
                self TakeAllWeapons();
                self thread goku_setup();
                self CloseInGameMenu("allmodsingamechar");
            }
            else if(response == "sound_goku")
            {
                self StopSounds();
                wait 0.05;
                self playsound("gokuintro");
            }
        }
        wait 0.05;
    }
