Cannot turn GUIon ?!?

[spook1]

After my introscreen, where I have turned off Gui(1), I want to turn it on again in room(2);

Now, the gui appears again, but only in room(3).
I have tried everything I can think off...
What am i missing??? I'm getting crazy.......

Is there a secret overruling setting or anything???
Or might this be my first bug? I can hardly believe AGS offers bug at my level :-P

regards,

a desperate Martijn

Can you be more specific? what script are you using to turn it back on? in what interaction?

[spook1]

I'll send the code of two different rooms:

First room(1): Here is what I am doing in the room where the gui does not appear:

Then room(2) I'll show the code from the opening scene: it seems that the first room after theopening does not show the GUI, when I make room 3 the second room, my problem occurs in room 3 instead of room 2.


// room script file (room1)

  int textid = 0;

  length = 0; 
  i=0;
  StrCopy(displayedline," ");
  textid = CreateTextOverlay(xpos,50,400,font,colour,displayedline);

  length=StrLen(line); //set string length
  while(i<length){
   
    StrFormat(displayedline, "%s%c", displayedline, StrGetCharAt(line,i));
    SetTextOverlay(textid, 10,vspacing,400, font, colour, displayedline);

    if (StrGetCharAt(line,i) == ' '){
      Wait(5);
    }
    else{
      PlaySound(1);
      Wait(1);

Can you be more specific? what script are you using to turn it back on? in what interaction?

Pumaman, I just notice that the "problemroom" has a different size of background, can that be the problem??

[spook1]

OKAY, Indeed the problenm was too trivial,
I had a room of size  320 * 204 instead of 320 *240
When the diemnsions of the background do not fit, the GUI cannot be projected over the background and is left out...

Thanks for your interest and sorry for taking up your time :-(

Can you try putting a Display() just before the GUIOn(1) just to check that the script is actually being called. Is it definitely hooked up to the interaction correctly?
