Title: Main menu.

How do you make a main menu, like in JANPACA, RON, BEN JORDAN SERIES?  :-)

Try looking in the manual under GUIs and Hotspots.  And reading the tutorial.  And the BFAQ.  That should be a good place to start looking.

Easiest thing would be to make a Main Menu room.  You can use hotspots to tell if player clicked a "button" that is really part of the background.

What script have you got? (And where?)

And when you say the game can't read it - is there a specific error message you get, or does it just not work?

For the exit button, I put:
QuitGame (1):
but it said it was an error

Yes, replace your "QuitGame ( 1 ):" with "QuitGame ( 1 );" ( make the last character a ; instead of a : ) ...

Then it will work fine.

Those issues belong to the beginners tech forum if you ask me though.

RTFBFAQ!!!

It's in my profile and in the READ THIS thread on this very forum. It's explained in detail there. No more questions about making a main menu please unless you're having trouble with using the script I give you in the BFAQ.
