Help with hiding 9-verb gui for making a main menu

[monkeyislandfan#1]

  I am attempting a Monkey Island FanGame (Yes I have AGS 3.2) with the built in 9-verb GUI. I can not for the life of me figure out how to hide the GUI to make a main menu. Also, I can not figure out how to use hotspots or objects to change from room to room, though I could not put it in the title of my topic. Please help! This is very confusing for me.

In the menu room's "before fadein" event you'd put something along the lines of

Code: ags

  gMaingui.Visible = false;

To go to the next room, use

Code: ags

  player.ChangeRoom(2, 20, 160);  // coordinates: x: 20, y: 160

These are really basic questions, please read the AGS helpfile thoroughly before asking those and do the tutorial to get a basic grip of AGS, then go back to the 9-verb GUI.
The 9-verb GUI also has lots of extra functions which are explained in the included PDF.

Thanks. But I read through the entire help file and couldn't find it, also, I didn't get a PDF file with it.

It was built in to the AGS I got.

Also, I did the tutorial.

Seems like you skipped this and this.

The pdf is extracted into the game directory together with all the other files after you start a new 9verb game.
It is called 9Verbs.pdf.

In there it is explained how to create interactions; they differ from the standard way that's explained in the manual in the sense that you create&link one function for all actions and check for the active verb in there.

Also, I know you're eager to get started on your own Monkey Island fangame, but I'd really recommend not to immediately start off with the 9-verb template. Get to know AGS first.
