Title: What makes a gui clickable?
Post by: Ghostlady on Fri 19/07/2024 23:08:54

I have gui's for all my characters and the gui stays on the screen with text until it is clicked and then the gui goes away. I created a non character gui with a label for text and made the gui pause game when shown and clickable but it doesn't work if it is clicked on. I have to put a "wait" in between to even see it. so I have to do a gui.enabled true - a wait - then a guu.enabled = false. What do I need to have the gui stay on the screen and wait for the player to click on it?

Please always post the actual code you have.

The following works fine for me:

Code Select

  gDraggable.Visible = true;
  WaitMouseKey(1000);
  gDraggable.Visible = false;

I can simply click anywhere and the GUI disappears again.

To have the GUI stay on the screen until it is clicked, you need to use on_event:

Code Select

void on_event(EventType event, int data) {
  if (event == eEventGUIMouseDown && data == gDraggable.ID) gDraggable.Visible = false;
}
