 Posted: Wed Jan 13, 2010 4:13 am Post subject: Closing Multiple Menus |
 |
|
Right, I'm using a custom menu script and I'm using the ESC key, all the menu's allow scripts and gameplay to continue and besides the main menu the other 2 menus have the 'no player control' bitset.
Now they all open at the same time nicely, however when trying to close them, it's a different story, heres the script:
| Code: | plotscript,mainmenu,begin
variable (handle1)
variable (handle2)
if
(check tag (tag:mainmenu==ON))
then
(if (key is pressed (01))
then
(close menu (handle1)
close menu (handle2)
set tag (tag:mainmenu==OFF))
else
end
else
(if (key is pressed (01))
then
(open menu (2,false)
handle1:=find menu ID (2)
wait for menu (2)
open menu (1,false)
handle2:=find menu ID (1)
wait for menu (1)
open menu (0,false)
wait for menu (0)
set tag (tag:mainmenu==ON))
else
end
end |
What am I doing wrong? |

handle1 and handle2 are local variables. Whenever a script is run, its variables start with value '0'. They are not remembered between different runs of a script! You need to use global variables. See 'What are the differences between a variable and a global variable?' And you'll want to choose more specific names than handle1 and handle2 to avoid confusion.
Also, this is wrong:
| Code: | if
(check tag (tag:mainmenu==ON)) |
You want this:
| Code: | | if (check tag (tag:mainmenu) == ON) then ( |
which is the same as this (which I prefer):
| Code: | | if (check tag (tag:mainmenu)) then ( |
Similarily:
| Code: | | set tag (tag:mainmenu==OFF) |
should be
| Code: | | set tag (tag:mainmenu, OFF) |
...
I assume that this is meant to be an 'empty' else case. 'end' does not work in this way. The fact that this compiled at all is another bug in HSpeak (really have to catch these bugs, they cripple the minds of users :P) An empty else looks like else() (which is the same as else, begin, end). However, normally instead of an empty else case, you just omit the else altogether. It's optional:
| Code: | if (...) then (...)
or
if (...) then (...) else (...) |
'wait for menu' takes a menu handle not a menu ID as argument. However, you should remove all of these lines are they are not needed and (would) do nothing. All menu commands occur instantly. 'wait for menu' is for waiting for the player to close a menu, not for waiting for a command to take effect.
A hint: you can write "key is pressed (key:esc)" rather than "key is pressed (1)" if you include 'scancode.hsi'
And one more: "open menu" returns a handle to the menu it opened, so you can replace
| Code: | open menu (1,false)
handle2:=find menu ID (1) |
with
| Code: | | handle2 := open menu (1,false) |
