Map GUI set to pause game is not blocking hotspots behind it. [SOLVED]

[RetroJay]

Hi all good peeps.

Here is my problem.
I have set my game to use keys only.
All was going splendidly until I wanted to implement a Plans/Map gui, with the push of the P key.
The Plans/Map gui is a full screen gui and set to 'pause game when shown'.
This all works fine, the Plans/Map gui turns on and off with the push of P and the game pauses/un-pauses when this happens.

However...
On my game screen I have hotspots and have set the 'Space key' to examine these spots.
I only found out the other night, by chance, that if the player character happens to be over a hotspot when the Plans/Map gui is displayed, pushing the space key still operates behind the gui and locks the entire game.
Obviously I don't want this to happen but don't quite know how to rectify this

Could someone please help me with this small but exceedingly irritating problem.

Yours.
Jay.

I'd do it by adding a little condition in the if statement...

Code: ags

if ( keycode == eKeySpace && gPlansMap.Visible == false )

Hi AnasAbdin.

Absolutely fantastic.
Thank you ever so much for that, it works like a charm.

I did have to change it slightly as my game would not compile.

Code: ags

if (IsKeyPressed(eKeySpace) && gMansion_Map.Visible == false )

I have put this at the beginning of my hotspot and region scripts.
I tried it in 'on_key_press' to see if I could get it to run globally but it didn't want to know.

Anyway, thank you for your help, much appreciated.

Yours.
Jay.
