I recently made a panel by following a tutorial, in this panel if I click on the "exit" button I exit the game, now what I want is to make a start button that when I click on it I go to the first level mynewgame.wmb.
how would I do that I already created a bmap startgame.pcx but how do I implement that with the mouse if I click on it I go to the first level ?
this is the code.

cool it works, im sorry just one more question when I do load the level the mouse pointer is still on and the main pcx do you know how I could turn that off when I start mynewgame ?

Change this function to this:

function startgame_function()
{
wait(1);
level_load(mynewgame);
start_game.visible = off;
//mouse_pcx.visible = off; //MAYBE this is what it is?
}

nah doesnt work it gives me errors

Parameter unknown start_game keyword

Parameter unknown mouse_pcx keyword

I tried messing with it a little but didnt work

Place the Panels syntax above the functions...

I did that and it started to work problem is that the mouse.pcx still didnt work

function startgame_function()
{
wait(1);
load_level(<mynewgame.wmb>);
start_game.visible = off;
main_pan.visible=off;
mouse_pcx.visible = off;
}

I added the main_pan.visible=off;

I would like to take away the mouse pointers cause moving the mouse I use for my main player for instance it makes him move left and right.
can it be done if not it's ok

Make the pointer mouse.pcx defined in a panel then make it appear as a panel, and you can take it away the same way I made main_pan.visible = off; disappear. Try a few things out

ok thanks ill try it

:\ I havemt been able to do it, i just cant get rid of the mouse pointers, does anyone know how I can make that dissapear ???
