dialogs

OK.
I hawe a dialog. And a menu with an invetoy window.
When the game runs a dialog you can hardly see anithing becouse it doesnt cover the whole window. So the menu is only half covered and I want to fix that. How do I make the dialog window larger?

Erm...

I dont quite understand your problem...

Either you have a large gui and when you run a dialog the Gui doesnt cover it... Or I've lost it?

Could you explain a bit further plz

Well make a new GUI (maybe totally black) and put its number in a Dialog options on GUI option (see general settings pane). Thus dialog options are displayed on that GUI and you can manipulate its size and position as you like.

In the general settings pane there is an option towards the top right called.

Dialog Options On Gui.

Tick the box and in the input box next to it but the numebr of the new gui you created for the Dialog

but if I do that then the new GUI covers up my old one withot starting the dialog...

Oh yeah I gotta set the pop up modal (or something like that)

Set this new gui Visible option to PopUpModal instead of Normal.

EDIT: yep, that is it.
