Well... Then try calling the "mouse_toggle" function instead:

Code:

---

function showPlslPan()
{
	plSelectionPan.pos_x = (screen_size.x - bmap_width(plSelectionPan.bmap)) / 2;
	plSelectionPan.pos_y = (screen_size.y - bmap_height(plSelectionPan.bmap)) / 2;
	plSelectionPan.visible = on;
	mouse_toggle();
}

---

mouse_togle work:) SUPER

But now ,when i switch mdl, i can move it but player animation is gone(walk,jump...)

Second(not so important), i must click twice to get pointer (1-st for pannel,
then for pointer) & when rmb click player figure start to "move" forward.Is it
posible to stop any movments when switching player?

For this testing i use 5 cbabe.mdls with diferent texture.1-st is the original
( and placed in level),
and other 4 are in the level folder.
P.S.Thanks man

While looking at the mouse_toggle function (menu.wdl), I found out, that you should just do it this way

Code:

---

function showPlslPan()
{
	plSelectionPan.pos_x = (screen_size.x - bmap_width(plSelectionPan.bmap)) / 2;
	plSelectionPan.pos_y = (screen_size.y - bmap_height(plSelectionPan.bmap)) / 2;
	plSelectionPan.visible = on;
	mouse_mode = 2;
	mouse_on();
}

---

I have no clue atm about what happened to the animations :S
Maybe your other models don't have those animations..?? (I know it's the same model just with different skins... But that's the only reason I can think of right now )

I don't know how to avoid the movement...
Post in the templates forum about that

1000x Thanks

For mdl`s you were right.i checked them -there are frames but when i played them
nothing happens.I done something wrong(but i only change skin)
& save them as mdl5.

2 more:
How to add some wav`s (for each button when highlited so we hear player
names...)
& and little transparency for background and butons.
Can they be a tga with alpha ch.(or some your sugestion for better pic format)?

P.S.If you haven`t time now i`ll wait.Thanks anyway.

Edit: I checked original cbabe.mdl in MED.It`s a mdl4 file, and i only have
mdl5 & mdl7 save option.
Q:Can A5_template work with mdl5 or 7?

For the sound:

Yep, you need to use a tga with alpha channel (Or setting transparent and the alpha value of the panel, though I'd recommend using an alpha channel)

I don't know much about the model formats. I think you should use mdl7, but I dunno.

Thanks, code work.Maybe some sound to cancel button.

How about som modification of sound code:
I`ll need sound to play, only when the mouse pointer is over the buton then stop
This is because i have sounds about 2sec lenth.
When i circle trough the buttons(to choice player) the sound became messy.
(first sound is still hearing while the second is playing,then third...)

I allso wish some other sound, when button click(player said something).

About your general code:
When i switch(make pl choice) pannel disapier.Is it posible for the mouse pointer allso.
This is important because, when mouse pointer is still on screen,
i am only able to navigate with keyboard.

Okay, this should do it. It doesn't stop the sound when the mouse is moved away from the buttons, but it stops the previous sound when you move the mouse over another button.

Moved the line:

Hi Claus,many stars for you and thank you man.Code works 100%:)
I was thinking about another code ,prety similar(maybe?) to this one
with some more advanced functions.
If/When you have time do it please.
It take me time to concept this, to be precise on what exactly i wont:

we have 4 diferent entity(mdl`s) on screen

-only when mouse over entity = enable right mouse click to call "atched" panel.
(when rmb click anywhere else= just show mouse pointer)
-when right mouse click over the entity(sound perhaps) = panell with 5
buttons apear(specific to that entity only)
(it`ll be very convinient for panel to be near the entity (not infront)
so we can see it)

-button click function= replace that mdl with another one,at diferent position
in the level(or the same position, we can edit position in the script)
This (position) thing is very important.
Include two sounds for each button (highlite and click)
When buton clicked=meny pannel disapear (we can call panel when right click
on the changed mdl only)

note: each entity(on screen) have 5 mdl`s to switch when we make choice in panel.

Mdl control:

- each of that 5 mdl`s have 6 sequence of animation inside
(idle,spin,bounce,open...).
Idle animation start inmediatly when we switch to that mdl.
Other sequence are "keyboard dependent"
Need 6 keys on keyboard(q,w,e,a,s,d for example) to call & loop those
sequences,only when specific model is on the screen.
Metod:
When nothing pressed= "idle" playing
When press & hold button "q" = coresponded animation play & loop
When button relesed = "idle" playing again

When press "q + Shift" button(we do not need to hold it presed enymore)=
"q" coresponded animation play & loop
When "q" button is presed and relesed again = "idle" animation is playing again


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take your time
One more thanks.
