Custom GUI buttons not responding.

[James Kay]

I've created a custom "quit, yes/no" GUI box, in stead of the standard "press Y/N" one. Basically a window with two buttons, one for yes and one for no.

It's a pop-up model, made clickable. Two objects (0 and 1) which are the cancel and ok buttons respectively.

Changed the line in the ICONBAR Gui for quit to:
   else if (button == 6) {  // quit
     GUIOff (ICONBAR);
     GUIOn (CONFIRMEXIT);
     SetCursorMode(6);
     }

which brings up the new GUI, no problem, and I've added this script in the gui_click script section:
if (interface == CONFIRMEXIT) {  
   if (button == 0) {
     GUIOff (CONFIRMEXIT);
     GUIOn(ICONBAR);
     SetDefaultCursor();
     }
   else if (button == 1) {
     QuitGame(0);
     }
   }

The two buttons have "Left Click: Run Script" enabled.

However, though the GUI appears when I press the quit button, it doesn't actually work. The button rollovers are there, but neither button responds.
What am I doing wrong??

Post the entire interface_click script, and maybe something will reveal itself.

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, GetCursorMode() );
 }
 else {   // right-click, so cycle cursor
   if (character[GetPlayerCharacter()].room!=50){
   SetNextCursorMode();
   }
 }
}

function interface_click(int interface, int button) {
 if (interface == ICONBAR) {
   if (button == 4) {  // show inventory
     show_inventory_window();
   }
   else if (button == 4) {   // use selected inventory
     if (character[ GetPlayerCharacter() ].activeinv >= 0)
       SetCursorMode(4);
   }
   else if (button == 5)    // save game
     RestoreGameDialog();
   else if (button == 6) {  // quit
     //QuitGame(1);
     GUIOff (ICONBAR);
     GUIOn (CONFIRMEXIT);
     SetCursorMode(6);
     }
   else if (button == 7)    // about
     Display("Adventure Game Studio v2 run-time engine[Copyright (c) 1999-2003 Chris Jones");
 }  // end if interface ICONBAR





 if (interface == INVENTORY) {
   // They clicked a button on the Inventory GUI
   
   if (button == 1) {
     // They pressed SELECT, so switch to the Get cursor
     SetCursorMode (MODE_USE);
     // But, override the appearance to look like the arrow
     SetMouseCursor (6);
   }
   
   if (button == 2) {
     // They pressed LOOK, so switch to that mode
     SetActiveInventory(-1);
     SetCursorMode(MODE_LOOK);  
   }
   if (button == 3) {
     // They pressed the OK button, close the GUI
     GUIOff (INVENTORY);
     SetDefaultCursor();
   }
 
 
 
 if (interface == CONFIRMEXIT) {  
   if (button == 0) {
     GUIOff (CONFIRMEXIT);
     GUIOn(ICONBAR);
     SetDefaultCursor();
     }
   else if (button == 1) {
     QuitGame(0);
     }
   }
 
 

 }
}

Scorpiorus, you're a genius! Cheers!

Steve, why can't you be as helpful as Scorpiorus? Useless....  

[Scorpiorus]

Were I responding the first I'd ask the same question as Steve did

So James,
Logos and Confirm Quit dialogs?
Can we expect a release any time soon?

[James Kay]

Ha...no. I want to finish off all GUI stuff so I don't have to worry about that anymore. After that, I still have to script 2/3 of the game, but at least that will be rote scripting and no new funny stuff. If I get this GUI stuff sorted now, all my scripting woes should be over.  I rather have that sorted now than having to deal with possible impossibilities after having invested hours and hours into the actual gameplay stuff.

Speaking of which;
I also have an Options GUI with a button which toggles sound on/off. I recon I can script the function, but if the sound is off I want to use a different button and button mouseover graphic than when it's sound on. I have no idea how to start scripting that. Any thoughts? My first instinct is to just have two seperate GUIs, but that sounds, well, crap.

[Scorpiorus]

You can put in use the SetButtonPic() script function. It allows to change both button normal picture and mouse-over picture as well as button pushed picture. Just replace all the button graphics when the sound is off and restore the old pictures when it's on.

Yet again I am entirely in your debt! Thanks!
