Title: How do I "close" all Gui's?

Hi guys,

I know it is lack of respect to show up years later with a question but...

How do I tell AGS to shut down (turn off) all Guis in one go?
I currently have to do a lot of manual work turning them off.

Thanks in advance

Something like:

Code Select

short x = 0;
while (x<Game.GUICount) {
  gui[x].Visible = false;
  x++;
}

(Or you can DisableInterface(); if you just want to disable interaction with GUIs)

According to CJ (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=21214.msg259479#msg259479)*, operations on short (16-bit) variables are actually slower on 32-bit systems than operations on ints (32-bit). He said that shorts should therefore only be used instead of ints when memory consumption is an issue (large arrays or structs primarily). That may be an AGS-specific issue, and you probably wouldn't notice the difference, but it's just better in this case to use an int. ;)

*And yes, I totally n00b'd that one! :=
