Okay, so I think I'm getting the hang of slices. But I have a problem with knowing exactly how to integrate them.

For instance: Is there a way to attach a slice to an existing walkabout or the main menu?

And how, exactly, am I supposed to check to see if one slice is still inside another one?

Any help would be great.

You can't directly attach a slice to an NPC or a menu yet. Those features are planned for the future, but right now you have to fake it.

Faking it with NPCs is not too hard. Attach the slice to a map layer using "set parent". Then you have to set the slice's x and y to be the same as the NPC's pixel coordinates. I posted some examples in Baconlab's thread on Slime Salad http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3525

You can't attach things to the menu layer, but the sprite layer (where slices start by default) is already on top of menus, so you could just reposition a slice to match the x and y of a menu.

To check if one slice is inside another, try the slice contains command.

I'll try this. I may need help with the actual scripting, though. Just warning.
