GUI Question

[xenogia]

Okay I have made a gui that has four buttons (New Game, Load Game, Credits and Quit).  Anyway for example the name for New Game is "newgame", I have put this code in the globalscript

Code: ags

function NewGame_OnClick(GUIControl *control,  MouseButton button)
  {
    gStart.Visible = false;
    cEgo.ChangeRoom (2);
  }

But it doesn't seem to work, any ideas?

You don't need a space in cEgo.ChangeRoom (2); but I doubt that's causing issues.

Select the newgame button by clicking on it once in the GUI editor. Then click the lightning icon down the bottom right - in OnClick it needs to have a link to newgame_OnClick, or it won't call it in the Global Script. If you've put that code there yourself, rather than having it auto-generated by AGS, the two won't necessarily be linked. Click the ... button to auto-generate a 'definitely right' function, and delete yours.

ALSO: functions are case-sensitive... so it should be

function newgame_OnClick(GUIControl *control,  MouseButton button)

... if your button name is all lowercase (ie newgame not NewGame)

Thanks for that I didn't realise you had to double click to link them up.

I appreciate it
