Can a MouseYPos GUI remain visible after an icon is selected?

[MRollins]

Hello,

Is there a way to make a MouseYPos GUI remain visible after an icon is selected? I am using the drop down gui in the old sierra style but I am also incorporating the inventory in the same gui so there is essentially an inventory window in the main gui but I am finding that once I click the "Select" icon to pick an item the gui is disappearing and then I have to mouse back up to make it reappear. Is there a way to eliminate the disappearance?

Thanks in advance.

Change the visibility to 'Normal, initially on' for the gui. Then you'll have to script some code that lets it scroll in in your rep_exec. There was a thread recently that asked this, here.

The behavior you mention is just what happens (AFAIK) with the 'When mouse moves to top of screen' visibility mode.

Here is simple example of how to turn such a GUI on when the mouse is over top and off when mouse is away.  It Assumes that hte GUI is at the very to of screen.

Code: ags

*** Global Script ***
function repeatedlt_execute() (

     // Make Y Gui visible
     if (mouse.Y<gMyGui.Height) {
          gMyGui.Visible = true;
     } 
     else {
          gMyGui.Visible = false;
     } 
)

To make it slide in and out of view it wouold be necessary to increment/decrement the Gui's Y position eaqch scan until it got to the desired position.
