menu problems :/

ok i am making a menu, and i am having a bit of trouble :/

i want an in game menu, to be toggled on/off when ESC key is pressed, but i dont really know how to do that...
i noticed in the character tutorial that when you toggled the "ready" animation on/off, there was a "^" before ready...
does that "^" thingy, mean toggle? :oops:

may post more questoins as i proceed..
i also want to make a main menu later, but i am a little confused about the state thingy :/

try using a variable as 0 = off and 1 = on

or a bool? pfft

but i was hoping there was some kinda automatic toggle function

there are, just check out Gui Object header file
you've got methods like 'hide' 'show' its simple

craksy · 12-23-2008 01:51 PM

oh... actually looked for a function like that, but i just typed "gui_objs." and checked the list of suggestions...
but will i have to do it for all of my objects?
like: start.hide
options.hide
help.hide
and so on? or are there an easier way to do it?

**Esenthel** · 12-23-2008 02:03 PM

you just need to hide the root/parent

so that will be the window, (in most cases) right?

edit:
nvm -.-' i should really look before i ask...
now i have this code in my main function:

Code:

if(Kb.bp(KB_M)){

      if(start->parent->hidden){

          start->parent->show();

      }

      else{

          start->parent->hide();

      }

 }

i just picked a object from my gui_objs, and took its parent...
it works fine, but was this what you meant?
is this the way its "supposed" to be done?

naah never mind.. it works and thats most important for now
now i just have a new question: if i have an options button for example, and want a new window to pup up when you click it, will i have to create a new gui object in gui editor, or can i have multiple windows in the same gui?
if so: how do i seperate the windows from each other so it wont display the options window when i open the menu window?

i am sorry to bump this thread, but i am kinda stuck untill i figure this out :/
could someone help me please?

yes you can mix objects from gui editor and those manually created
you can use multiple windows
you can optionally set their levels (to one always be on top of the others Window::level)
or optionally hide other windows when only one wants to be visible
