Making a GUI from scratch {Solved}

mwahahaha · Thu 19/01/2006 01:08:05

I'm working on a short game at the moment and I wanted to make custom GUIs but in the gui section of ags there is nothing to work on.

How do i set the area for the GUI in the first place?

I'm not sure what you mean by "there is nothing to work on" in the GUI section...

If you want to make a custom GUI hit the GUIs panel, then click GUI at the top and hit New GUI. Put in an image, a size, some buttons, choose how you want it to appear, and get crackin'.

I recently (as in yesterday and today) made my own custom GUI that I'm pretty proud of. View my thread (Right-Click GUI) for some answers in there if that's what you plan on doing.

I managed to fix that, but now I can't get it to appear on my screen.

Hmm... Could you be more clear?

What won't appear on your screen? A custom GUI you've already made? Is it set to pop-up with a click or key press? Is it set to scroll down when you move the mouse to the top? Is it supposed to always be visible?

Yes, please be clearer about what you've done, what you're trying to do, and what exactly isn't working.

I've made a gui in the guis section of ags to the size, ect. that I wanted it, and I want it to always be on the screen, but I don't know how.

Just double click the "visible" line of the GUI's info window and change it to "Persistent".
