Mouse show hide gui

What or where is the code to show hide the gui ?
I have the gui coming from the bottom but right now I have to move the mouse at the top to show the gui .
Thanks

Could you tell me how this works ?
function repeatedly_execute() {

if ((IsGUIOn(MYGUI)==0) && (mouse.y >= system.screen_height - 5)) GUIOn(MYGUI);

else GUIOff(MYGUI);

}

MYGUI the name of the gui . what way will it come from the way it is now ?
Do you change this system.screen_height ?

Actually, better do this, so the GUI only hides again if you leave the GUI area:

Code: ags


function repeatedly_execute() {
  //...

  if (mouse.y >= system.viewport_height-5) GUIOn(MYGUI);
  else if (IsGUIOn(MYGUI) && mouse.y < MYGUI_Y_POSITION) GUIOff(MYGUI);

  //...
}

The GUI will popup on the bottom of the screen. But you have to adjust its Y position in the properties window first. If your resolution is 320x200 and your GUI has a height of say, 30, set its Y position to 170 (200-30) and replace MYGUI_Y_POSITION with this value as well.
The 5 is the number of pixels on the bottom of the screen that trigger the GUI popup. Increase or decrease at your discretion.

system.viewport_height is a system variable that holds the height of the screen, you don't have to change it.

Edit:

Changed system.screen_height to system.viewport_height

I can't get that to work so going to give up on the idea .

You probably have the GUI set to y-position, so that it pops up. You want it set to normal or popup model.

I gave both a try and it didn't popup at all .
I see a small flash of it when the game loads and thats it . won't popup .

if (interface == COM) {
if (button==0) SetCursorMode(MODE_WALK);
if (button==1) SetCursorMode(MODE_LOOK);
if (button==2) SetCursorMode(MODE_USE);
if (button==3) SetCursorMode(5);
if (button==4) SetCursorMode(MODE_TALK);
if (button==5) SetCursorMode(8);
if ((button == 7) && (game.top_inv_item < game.num_inv_items - game.num_inv_displayed)) {
game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item + game.items_per_line; }
if ((button == 6) && (game.top_inv_item > 0)) {
game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item - game.items_per_line; }
}

if (interface == SET) { // They clicked a button on the Settings Tab
if (button == 0) { // save game
GUIOff(SET);
SaveGameDialog();}
else if (button == 1) { // load game
GUIOff(SET);
RestoreGameDialog();}
else if (button == 2) // restart game
RestartGame();
else if (button == 3) { // quit
GUIOff(SET);
QuitGame(1);}

SetCursorMode (MODE_WALK);
}
else if (button == 6) { // volume
SetDigitalMasterVolume (GetSliderValue (SET, 6));
string vol;
StrFormat (vol, "%d", GetSliderValue(SET, 6));
SetLabelText(SET, 8, vol); }

The rest .

Try replacing system.screen_height with system.viewport_height:

Code: ags

if (mouse.y >= system.viewport_height-5) GUIOn(COM);
else if (IsGUIOn(COM) && mouse.y < 155) GUIOff(COM);

The problem with system.screen_height is that checking for it may not work at resolutions higher than 320x200(240) or 400x300.

That work great now . I just have to get the inv one to popup now so it will work .

Code: ags


if (interface == COM) {
  if (button==0) SetCursorMode(MODE_WALK);
  if (button==1) SetCursorMode(MODE_LOOK);
  if (button==2) SetCursorMode(MODE_USE);
  if (button==3) SetCursorMode(5);
  if (button==4) SetCursorMode(MODE_TALK);
  if (button==5) SetCursorMode(8);
  if ((button == 7) && (game.top_inv_item < game.num_inv_items - game.num_inv_displayed))  {
      game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item + game.items_per_line;  }
  if ((button == 6) && (game.top_inv_item > 0))  { 
      game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item - game.items_per_line;  }
  }

  if (interface == SET) {     // They clicked a button on the Settings Tab
    if (button == 0)  {  // save game
      GUIOff(SET);
      SaveGameDialog();}
    else if (button == 1) {  // load game
      GUIOff(SET);
      RestoreGameDialog();}
    else if (button == 2)   // restart game
      RestartGame();
    else if (button == 3) {  // quit
      GUIOff(SET);
      QuitGame(1);}
    else if (button == 4) {   // about
      Display("Adventure Game Studio v2 run-time engine[     Copyright (c) 1999-2003 Chris Jones");}
    else if (button == 5) {  // resume
      GUIOff (SET);
      SetCursorMode (MODE_WALK);
      }
    else if (button == 6) {  // volume
      SetDigitalMasterVolume (GetSliderValue (SET, 6));
      string vol;
      StrFormat (vol, "%d", GetSliderValue(SET, 6));
      SetLabelText(SET, 8, vol);   }
    else if (button == 7) {  // game speed
      SetGameSpeed (GetSliderValue (SET, 7));
      string spe;
      StrFormat (spe, "%d", GetSliderValue(SET, 7));
      SetLabelText(SET, 9, spe);   }
    }  // end if interface SET

what it looks like .
The main window popups but the little with SQq does not popup ?

QuoteThe main window popups but the little with SQq does not popup ?

But how and when do you want it to pop up? The repeatedly_execute's code in question is about the COM GUI. Can you elaborate a bit on what you're after?

Candle · Fri 11/02/2005 12:37:47

Well I kind of left it as a non popup aS i Could'nt get the little brown sqs to popup with the rest of the gui .

Scorpiorus · Fri 11/02/2005 12:49:13

Well, you can then probably just make your inventory window be part of the main GUI unless you have a certain reason to do otherwise.
