Quit script not working.

Sewer Agent · Mon 14/02/2005 11:45:15

I am using the Sylpher tutorials which are really easy to follow and well written and I was very happy with what I was doing, until, that is, I tested it out for myself and it didn't work! I'm posting here to check if it's because this tutorial is out-dated or if I am doing something wrong.

Thanks.

You need to be a bit more specific about:
- What code you're using.
- Where it is.
- What it's doing (i.e do you get an error message, or does it just not work).
- Which version of AGS you're using.

As far as I can tell - and assuming I'm looking at the right tutorial - the code is still good, except maybe with the more recent betas.

The problem is that when I run the command to leave the game (either by Ctrl and Q or by the Exit button.) my GUI runs but when I click on the button Quit or Play nothing happens. I assume I am using the latest edition as I only re-downloaded AGS a few days ago (I had AGS about a year ago but it was deleted so I have re-downloaded it.). As far as what code I am using I don't know what you mean lol!

EDITED:
I think I have found what the problem is but for some reason I closed the editor without saving my new GUI! I think the problem was that I set a button to value 0 and by looking through the script there seems that it must have to be a button value of 1 or more and I put in QuitGame(0); and I don't think that would work either and I should have put in QuitGame(1). If I am wrong please tell me lol!

Well, buttons can have the value 0 but, again assuming I'm looking at the right tutorial, object 0 on your GUI would be the label. So yes, you probably want button 1 to quit, button 2 to keep on playing.

QuitGame (1); will ask you to confirm quitting (i.e. bring up the built-in Quit GUI, after your custom one), while QuitGame (0); will just quit when you press the button.

I probably did set the wrong values but wouldn't at least one of the buttons of done something? I think that if I had set the text as object 0 then wouldn't the play button been reconized as the quit button?

It is not the tutorial. I followed the tutorial 2 days ago with the newest ags version, and it all worked out fine.

Ok then must be something I was doing then, thanks.

Also, make sure these GUI button's Left click property is set to Run script.
