Title: Problem with a GUI script
Post by: Mr Jake on Fri 30/01/2004 18:56:42

hey
This script is for an upcoming game (cannot say more :-X )

but anyway, so far( haven't tried the Inventory bits) it works, other then the bit with the GUI being turned off, why??

else if (button==LEFT) {
ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_WALK);
}
else { // right-click, so cycle cursor
if (IsGUIOn(3)==1){ // Is the inventory open
if (IsGUIOn (5)==1){
GUIOff (5);
}
if (GetInvAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) > -1){ //is it over a inv item?
    SetGUIPosition (5, mouse.x, mouse.y);
    GUIOn (5);
    }
}
else if (IsGUIOn(4)==1){ //is the GUI already on
GUIOff(4);
}
else if (GetHotspotAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) > 0){ //is it over a hotspot
SetGUIPosition (4, mouse.x, mouse.y);
GUIOn (4);
}
}

thanks in advance 8)

When the mouse cursor is over any GUI then the right click isn't triggered. What happens to right clicks on a GUI? They don't trigger on_interface_click either.

I don't know if what you're thinking of is possible yet (*nudge* *nudge*, CJ). For now, just use a button to turn off the GUI.

Ah, then you need to handle the GUI_MDOWN call to the on_event global function. I appreciate this isn't very well documented so it should really be made more prominent.

this works, but only if you right click when on the GUI (at least the new version does)

ok, new problem:

function on_mouse_click(int button) {
// called when a mouse button is clicked. button is either LEFT or RIGHT
if (IsGamePaused() == 1) {
// Game is paused, so do nothing (ie. don't allow mouse click)
}
else if (button==LEFT) {
ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, MODE_WALK);
}
else { // right-click, so cycle cursor
if (IsGUIOn(4)==1){ //is the GUI already on
GUIOff(4);
}
if (IsGUIOn(3)==1){ // Is the inventory open
if(GetInvAt(mouse.x, mouse.y) > 0){ //is it over a inv item?
    mmx=mouse.x + 25;
    mmy=mouse.y +10;
xspot=mouse.x;
    yspot=mouse.y;
SetGUIPosition (5, mouse.x, mouse.y);
    GUIOn (5);
    SetMousePosition (mmx, mmy);
    }
if (IsGUIOn (5)==1){
GUIOff (5);
}
}

else if ((GetHotspotAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) > 0) || (GetCharacterAt (mouse.x, mouse.y) > -1) || GetObjectAt (mouse.x, mouse.y) > -1){ //is it over a hotspot
mmx=mouse.x + 25;
mmy=mouse.y + 25;
   xspot=mouse.x;
   yspot=mouse.y;
SetGUIPosition (4, mouse.x, mouse.y);
GUIOn (4);
SetMousePosition (mmx, mmy);
}
else {
SaveGameSlot (999, "inv");
screen= LoadSaveSlotScreenshot (999, 81, 50);
SetButtonPic (GAMEINV, 0, 1, screen);
GUIOn (3);
}
}

}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem is with If (IsGUIon(3) == 1){ } this block of code wont run (I put a display speech in to see if it was even running, and it wasn't, sorrry if you have already explained this is what you just said, I've asked AGA and he didnt have a clue, so it cant be anything TOO easy ^_^/

When the mouse is over a GUI, on_mouse_click is not called. Therefore, you need to put your IsGUIOn check in the on_event function for an event of type GUI_MDOWN.

As I say, the documentation on this is quite poor so I'll see about improving it.
