Gavin, If you look at the way that optionsdlg.gui is formated in the common/ui folder, you will see that there is a corrisponing optionsdlg.cs file in example\common\client. It's a good example of how to add functionality to gui's outside of the gui itself.

That is, of course, what you mean

Maybe, lol i shall look, i just want it so when differnt types of units, not all the gui buttons are avail. but that may do it

*edit seems all i need is movebtn.setactive(0); to deactivate a button :)

Yeah, whatever name you give a GUI control in the GUI editor is the same name you use in the script to call functions for it. Very simple and nice.

Or to make it invisible...
movebtn.setVisible(false);

Just to add a bit of confirmation... It all uses the same basic script space, you can reference teh GUIs throw script just like anything else :)
