I have the same button names on different Layouts sheets, and they control actions from an INCLUDE.

My question is if I make a button invisible on one layout how do I make that button invisible on the the other layouts? (For example if you break your sword you can not hit the ATTACK button on any other layouts till you get a new one).

I know I could use a global variable at the stat of each page but there has to be a more elegant way. I was looking into Global objects but that did not seem to do anything.

please help

wow...

Thanks for your input.

Though I am still looking for a general Layout Size for PC games. Too big eats up vidio memory, too small looks cheep.

I guess I meant Window size.

So you mean by 1080 (1920 × 1080 )?

What is the most common layout size you are using for PC games?

Since browsers take up some of the real-estate I was wounding what is a good size for a modern game.

I think I got this

Thanks all

Aphrodite, I am not sure layers will help as I need my buttons with code to appear on different layout,. I think the include is what I want but looking for a tutorial or example.

I found this but still missing how to add my buttons to different sheets

https://www.scirra.com/manual/82/includes

I seem to recall something about that hundredfold. Is there a tutorial someplace?

Do I even use a layout for what I want to include or just the event sheet?

Thanks

Let me try and explain better.

Right now my game has seven layouts. I have buttons with the same name on each layout. So I have to copy the same code to each button on each layout.

Is there a way to just make one button that will will show up on all layout and just have one set of code?

codah I am not sure what you mean. can you explain?

I am working with a number of layouts for an RPG game. I have been adding the same command buttons on every layout with the same code for each one. "Attack, Defend, Spell, etc). For example in the forest, swamp, and desert layout

Is there a way to use the same set of button on every one of my existing layouts? Example?

Thanks

Very interesting read newt. Thanks.

It helped me re-think my graphics and cut down Image memory per screen by 50%!

Love the plugin, but I need to toggle the Radio Check box Visibility in the event sheet. Can you please add a Set Visible Action?

Also minor bug under Group of Lines:

Both "Enable all lines" & "Uncheck all lines" vanishes and reappears when the mouse get close to them. to make then reappear I need to hover over the action above them and slide my mouse down.
