Hi,

I can't be the first person to ask this question but I can't seem to find the answer in any of my searches.  I want to have an inventory bar at the bottom of my screen which permanently takes up that area and the room would scroll around above that rather than the whole height of the screen.  I was able to create a GUI that sits at the bottom of the screen but I can't seem to force the room to scroll within the smaller area.  Is there any way to control the height of the viewport without affect the GUI? 

Here is my interface so far:



Currently the GUI cuts off the bottom of the room by the height of the inventory screen.  If there is no way to control the viewport height, then I'll add a black area on the background to give it some scrolling room.

Thanks.

There's no way to change the viewport, so the GUI is always overlayed on top of the room background. Just add black area to the bottom of the background as that area is never visible in your case.

I thought about that too, but seems that the non-hyphenated is also accepted by some people (though not considered standard). Play Pleurghburghsdfhsdfjl.

Alright. Enough OT.

Maybe it's not no-one. Maybe he's talking about a noone? (Whatever that may be)

Thanks.  No, that's a typo.  I missed the Hyphen. ;)  Nothing has been proof read yet, obviously.  :-[
