Suggestions for the next version of AGS

[Dualnames]

Loved your module SSH. Very resourceful!

I still strongly suggest that AGS 3.3x come with an internal solution to changing all the game's config variables via script calls.

Cheers,
Sparky.

Also the module causes some bugs. It's really good, but can end up teribly unstable at times. Perhaps it was me doing something wrong, but I wouldn't think so.

A way to adjust properties for multiple GUIs/GUI objects at once. If you need to make eg. a dozen buttons/labels with the same size, you need to adjust each one by hand.

You could do that from the script:

Code: ags

void SetSizeForGUIs(GUI *guis[], int guiCount, int width, int height) {
  if ((guis == null) || (guiCount <= 0)) return;
  int i = 0;
  while (i < guiCount) {
    guis[i].SetSize(width, height);
    i++;
  }
}

// meanwhile...
GUI *guis[] = new GUI[5];
int i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
  guis[i] = gui[i + 10];
  i++;
}
SetSizeForGUIs(guis, 5, System.ViewportWidth, 20);

It's a bit more round-about than your suggestion, but given the current method of resizing these items it would be very wonky to try and allow resizing multiple items at once anyway...

monkey, I believe Jim Reed means adjusting them in the GUI EDITOR.

BTW I remember suggesting adding COPY GUI OBJECT feature some time ago.

I know that CW, which is why I said:
