Centering a GUI on the screen

by Bryan Zarnett · in Torque Game Builder · 09/07/2009 (2:15 pm) · 2 replies

I have a GUI control set with a position of 0,0 and an extent of 800,600. The control within the GUI is centered.

When I push the GUI to the screen, the GUI is not centered.

I am using "Canvas.pushDialog(examineDetailsGui);" to push it to the screen.

What needs to be done to ensure that my GUI is centered on the screen.

Cheers,
Bryan

What you described should work as long as the Camera resolution in the level builder is set to the same as your gui builder resolution (800 x 600).

I get this problem all the time. If I've got a popup window, kind of like
FAKE CODE AHEAD!

new GuiControl(BlahWindowGUI) {
  new GuiWindowCtrl(BlahWindow) {
    ... Objects inside Window ...
  };
};
That I need to set "center center" in both the BlahWindowGUI and BlahWindow.
