arrow key menu

how can i achive a main menu that can be navigated through via the arrow key UP and DOWN . also the colors have to change but thats easy .

I only need to know how to do the selection and on hitting enter to start the event thats on the specific button .

Every menu item have to be a label NOT a button :D

You could give all the menu items a boolean variable "selected" and on arrow keys pushed switch the booleans.

then on enter touched if boolean is true go to whatever?

so you mean not global variables you mean object specific variables?

:)

Yep.. I think that's what I said..

You could use a global variable to toggle between the menu items by using it to toggle the boolean variables on and of based on it's value..

ok thats what i got but its not working

Since you are not working with instances of the text object but different text objects it might be better to do it this way:

I've also removed your every tick events and only changed things on key pressed.

oh well that seems MUCH more organized thanks ! one question , how to add the conditions DOWN the first one? :D "add sub event?"

All the system compare variables events are subevents, yes..

You could have just tried it.

yeah worked everythings fine thanks to all
