Title: Default GUI freezes (SOLVED)
Post by: on Mon 19/06/2006 00:21:35
Hi, i've got a little problem here, and i'm sure it's a stupid one

i'm starting with the default game (the one with de sierra Style) and i'm changing it all
probably i've should started with an empty one, but... well, anyway...

i'm making my own GUI, and i've found that everytime my character looks at something a kind of freezing layer appears over my GUI buttons... can i DE-ACTIVATE this?

  ???

thanx guys....

If I'm understanding you correctly:
There's a drop-down menu on the 'General setting's window called 'When interface disabled:'. By default this is set to 'GUIs grey out' which I guess is the "freezing layer" you mentioned. Try setting it to something else ('GUIs unchanged' might be best), and see if that IS the problem.

I have a similar problem with a blocking script and a gui on screen, but the GUi is only on in one particular room, this solution works, but is there a way of turning this setting on and off during runtime so it only applies to this room, or is it a all or nothing setting?

SetGameOption (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/SetGameOption.htm)
Specifically, you'll want OPT_WHENGUIDISABLED.

And since this has been bumped:
navalguijo, was this the answer? If so acan you update the thread title with (SOLVED), thanks.

SetGameOption (option, int value)

OPT_WHENGUIDISABLED

When GUI is disabled, 0=grey out, 1=go black, 2=unchanged, 3=turn off


Where does info come from? The manual! Woo!
