how do you get rid of the statusline?

homey3 · Sat 07/08/2004 18:01:46

I hate that ugly thing taking up space on the screen when I don't use it in the game. It just ends up being an ugly bar there and now all of a sudden it even covers over the iconbar when brought up.

How can I get rid of it so it doesn't show up on the screen?

Thanks.

Either :
On the GUI panel, delete the STATUSLINE GUI.

Or:
In the game_start section of the global script, add the line
GUIOff (STATUSLINE);

EDIT: I'd recommend the GUIOff option, as it's easier to turn it back on if you change your mind.

What ahsen said, you can always put it to use tho.

put GUIOff (STATUSLINE); in between the {} under game_start where I put the text speed and text gui commands. The statusline is still there, though.

I've experienced random difficulties with GUI commands in game_start with older versions, and I'd say first try to put the command last in the game_start, and if you already have done so, try placing it in the first loaded room's "Player enters screen (before fadein)" or "First time player enters screen" interaction script.

Hmmm, tried that and it didn't work. I've tried that guioff just about everywhere I can think of and it won't work. And why is it always on top of the icon bar?

You can just go to STATUSLINE, and click Delete this Gui.
(Down-Right side of the screen)

Uh oh. I deleted it and now it says there is an error because it's deleted. I'm kind of scared now since I can't get it back.

Hmm. go to the Gui's script editor end delete everything that has to do with STATUSLINE (Ehm.. make a copy first)

Edit* Hey, did you try to run your game? It must be worked!
(To me it worked)

I tried testing the game and it has an error message and says the statusline may be deleted.

Strange.

Anyway, create a new game (default template). Then, just export its Gui.

Then, to your game, click import gui. It should replace your Gui, including the STATUSLINE.

Another good way to almost dissappear the statusline, is to decrease her height and weith
