I'm making a Minecraft-Terraria style mining game, and I have a pickaxe tool. I want to make it so it can only be triggered over a certain area or position. How would I do this?

PS. If it uses coordinates, how would I find those?

you can use a hitTest with a shape that you place on the stage or using coordinates. if you use coordinates, you would use the pickaxe._x and pickaxe._y values.

Sounds good, do you have any idea how I would do that? :/ I'm a bit confused.

which one?

there are 2 different suggestions. using coordinates is easiest to use but only works well if the area is rectangular.
