hi,

i've created a game menu and it looked well. but everytim i load the game, the main menu is still visible but the game is running. any ideas please?

here is d code:



#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
#include "level2code.c"

var speed = 50;

BMAP* mouse_pcx = "mouse.pcx"; // bitmap used for the mouse pointer

function main()
{
//video_screen = 1;
screen_size.x = 800;
screen_size.y = 600;
mouse_map = mouse_pcx;
mouse_mode = 4;
}

function instruction_program()
{
while (key_any) {wait (1);}
level_load("instruct.c");
//sys_exit(main_pan);

}

function load_program()
{
while (key_any) {wait (1);}
level_load("level2maze.wmb");

//sys_exit(main_pan);
}

function exit_program()
{
while (key_any) {wait (1);}

sys_exit(NULL);
}

PANEL* main_pan =
{
layer = 30;
bmap = "pacmantittle2.jpg";
pos_x = -90;
pos_y = 0;
button (390, 250, "player_OVER.pcx", "player_OUT.pcx", "player_OVER.pcx", load_program, NULL, NULL);
button (400, 290, "lan_OVER.pcx", "lan_OUT.pcx", "lan_OVER.pcx", load_program, NULL, NULL);
button (380, 330, "instructions_OVER.pcx", "instructions_OUT.pcx", "instructions_OVER.pcx", instruction_program, NULL, NULL);
button (395, 370, "settings_OVER.pcx", "settings_OUT.pcx", "settings_OVER.pcx", exit_program, NULL, NULL);
button (390, 410, "about_OVER.pcx", "about_OUT.pcx", "about_OVER.pcx", exit_program, NULL, NULL);
button (395, 450, "exit_OVER.pcx", "exit_OUT.pcx", "exit_OVER.pcx", exit_program, NULL, NULL);
flags = OVERLAY | SHOW;
}



thank you!:)

bdw, im using 3dgs a7..^_^

You have to turn the panel off with

main_pan.flags &= ~SHOW;

should i place it here?


function load_program()
{
while (key_any) {wait (1);}
level_load("level2maze.wmb");
main_pan.flags = SHOW;

//sys_exit(main_pan);
}

still d same..T_T

I could only advice to use some 'var' for that (example: var show_menu = 1;).
So if game started, then make var equal to zero (for example in player's script), if in menu then set it back to one.
So if var equals to 1, then make manu panel VISIBLE, other ways make it INVISIBLE.
I hope that will help. Good luck.

Hi,
I think It should be :

function load_program()
{
while (key_any) {wait (1);}
level_load("level2maze.wmb");
main_pan.flags &= ~SHOW;

//sys_exit(main_pan);
}

Best regards.

wow!! it worked!!

thanks 3run, i think i misunderstood your code but it was right..^_^
thanks 3dgs_snake&#9829;
