SOLVED - Custom Quit GUI

[Kal-El]

Hi, I've read the Custom Quit GUI section here (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/actutgui1.htm) but this was written before the latest version of AGS so a lot of the functions are invalid or have been omitted.

I've designed the actual interface and new buttons - no problem here.

The problem is how do I code the YES NO buttons? i.e. when it says 'are you sure you want to quit? YES NO' how do I make it quit if you click on the YES button and how do I make it resume the game when I click on the NO button?

Code: ags

if (button == 0) { //The Quit button
Ã,  QuitGame(0);
}

if (button == 1) { //The Return-to-game button
Ã,  gQuit.Visible = false; //Here gQuit is your quit GUI.
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, //So if your GUI's script name is for example "EXIT" then you change this to gExit.Visible = false;
}

I hope this helps.

That's good thanks.

But how do I call the new quit GUI after the user clicks on QUIT in the status bar? The Quit GUI is called QUITGUI (gQuitgui).

Thanks in advance!

You just simply use the Visible code again:

gQuitgui.Visible = true;

If this is what you meant.

This is really all in the manual - if you're just coming back to AGS, try reading through it to re-familiarise yourself.
Although, I admit some of the tutorials link on the site could use updating.

[Kal-El]

Bloody hell, of course! lol

Thanks Pablo!

I did read through it but it doesn't really go in-depth enough to cover what I needed to do. The online guides were my best option but they too were out of date.

Anyhow, problem solved now!

Visible property (GUI)

Example:

gSettings.Visible = true;

will turn on the SETTINGS GUI.

That was the example from the manual and I think that was all you needed to know.

QuitGame

Seems fairly detailed to me.

Beaten to the punch, but what the heck.

Looking  at the tutorial you linked, the only major change is GUI.Visible replacing GUIOn/Off(). Oh, and the individual GUI control functions replacing the global interface_click (which is probably the more confusing, it's true).

[Kal-El]

Yes but it didn't go too in-depth for me. It meant nothing to me infact. This is my first time at designing my own custom GUI so I found it quite difficult.

That's why I resorted to the online 'detailed' guide.
