Torque script button....

by Henning Martinsen · in Torque Game Engine · 06/21/2008 (3:07 am) · 8 replies

Hi
I have a problem with a button's command: Canvas.popDialog(MainMenuGui);
But it will not return to mainMenuGui.

How can I clear every gui before a small gui step over s big gui ??

Any idea ??

Thanks for all help.

Are you correctly pushing&popping dialogs? The GUI canvas dialog system works like a stack where you push items on top of each other and then pop them off the stack. The optional argument you can supply to popDialog simply specifies a position in the stack that should be popped to.

You can switch the canvas content altogether with

Canvas.setContent( MainMenuGui );

displaying only the control you specify.

Thank you :) :D

I hope you can help me out with another problem like pref in variable, like: ::pref::Player:Name

Is that right ??
Must I make a file to it ??



Again thanks for all help.

All the "$Pref::*" variables will be automatically exported as part of the client configuration, so if you create a variable "$Pref::Player::Name", it will be included in the dump when Torque exits and automatically reloaded when Torque starts up again.

Have fun with Torque.

And if I wanted permanent how will I do it ??

I also try a box so use can write input but it's not working.
I try from guitexteditprofile and many more.
I can't find guitesteditprofile in my indie 150.
So where can I get it or how do I make one ??

The preferences are permanent. They are saved to a file and read back on startup.

For a text edit control, simply fire up the GUI editor and drag a GuiTextEditCtrl onto the canvas (or GuiMLTextEditCtrl for multi-line text). You needn't worry about profiles unless you specifically want to modify certain stylistic or behavioral properties.

I used guitexteditctrl and in variable: $pref::Player::Name, $pref::Player::pw, $pref::Player::Confirmpw, $pref::Player::Email, and so on.
And when I quit the game all stuck, freez.

But I have no idea what went wrong.
Can you help ?

Take a look at the console log to see where the engine gets stuck. That's always the first place when trying to find out what's going on.
