I want a gui to pop up that says "meanwhilst"
then go off after a while.
now ive tried scripting it but it wont come up.

heres what i had:

character[EGO].FaceLocation(character[EGO].x, character[EGO].y-50);
character[EGO].Say("Sigh....");
character[EGO].Say("Well at least my day cant get any worse.");
gMeanwhilst.Visible = true;
Wait(20);
gMeanwhilst.Visible = false;
EndCutscene();
character[EGO].ChangeRoom (3);

any ideas?

All I can imagine is that the transparency of the gui is set to 100 or something...

Or perhaps it's under another GUI?

*Whilst he waits for his own puzzle to be solved..*

Am I missing something here? Why is it a GUI? Why not create an object that is the word meanwhilst? that would be easier to script anyways.

I guess you changed the during-cutscenes option to GUIs turn off.

Naturally it'll disappear during a Wait command, then. Change that option to GUIs remain unchanged or just use an object, instead.

Thanks Akatosh.

Didnt even think of looking there.

No problem - most people forget about the 'General settings'-pane ;)
