GUI help for non adventure game (SOLVED) Thanks KhrisMUC

Hello everyone,

I have started making a cricket game. I need some GUI help.

I only want the walking and contact GUIS. When I delete the other GUI buttons the gui window has a hole which doesn't look nice. Also most importantly though I delete the GUIS when I right click with my mouse I can still choose the gui. Help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

GUI is short for "graphical user interface", a GUI in AGS is one of the rectangle-shaped windows that pop up occasionally.
I think you're talking about cursor modes.

-If you want to get rid of the holes, move the buttons to the left, then adjust the GUI's width accordingly.

-To get rid of the other cursor modes, uncheck their "standard cursor mode" box in the cursors pane.

Nice and sweet answer. Thanks a lot.
One more question how do I fix the iconbar into the screen. Rather than moving the mouse

You're welcome

Change the GUI's visible property to "Persistent". You can do that in the small window where it says GUI X (Y objects) by double clicking "Visible".

Thanks again for your help. If you don't mind I'll ask my final question. Can I make the whole bar invisible. (This would be lot easier than deleting). I want to make my icon bar invisible and the cursor mode on.

Yes, set the GUI's Visible property to "Normal", then inside game_start() use this script command: GuiOff(x);[/], where x is the number of the GUI.
(To get to game_start(), select Script -> game_start from the editor's menu)

Thank you very much

Everything is solved now

I have another non GUI problem I'll create a new topic for that

[EDIT:] I see from his other thread in the Tech Forum he is using AGS 2.62. Nevermind.

Khris...I can only assume you know he's using AGS 2.62 or earlier....because...o.0....AGS 2.7 and later the proper code for this would be:

Code: ags

gGuinamehere.Visible = false; // or gGuinamehere.Visible = true; to turn it back on

I hope this is not considered as a double post. Here is something to help you guys

Now you can see that your efforts to answer this question is not a waste of time.
Can anyone come up with any decent idea. How to ball and bat

Sorry Sam...just...something about your name struck me as feminine. Sorry if I offended you.

And you didn't post the link to the larger image with the thumbnail...So I can't really see the picture very well. $:-\$
