Hey guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself a bit and say hello to the community. I would not consider myself a major gamer (i have very specific tastes and tend to enjoy what others don't ). I am a very uninformed and very NEW game maker. I've played around with other platforms but usually found them limiting or, even more often, found the community to be a bit snub nosed and unhelpful. I'm an ex military family man with a wonderful daughter.

I played around with the Construct 2 systems (free version) for about 3 days, and yesterday decided that this is the platform I've been waiting for, and purchased the standard edition. I'm a far more experienced writer then programer, and have 0 experience in graphic design or using Photoshop or any other such program.

Currently I'm working on my first project that is more of a way for me to learn the system then to produce something good (got to start somewhere right?). I apologize ahead of time for asking to many questions, but I do enjoy questions (don't worry, I do my best to search forums, manuals, and tutorials before asking)

Cstix out

Thanks Yann,

This is all pretty new to me, I think I'll dive into an Array. The game I'm designing is going to have hundreds of buttons.

Hey everybody,

First time posting, I've looked for several hours on the forums and manuals for my answer and I apologize if I've missed it somewhere. I'll try to explain the best I can what I am trying to accomplish.

I have created an upgrade shop in my game (layout). In this layout i have added buttons that upgrade stats and such. I am trying to make those buttons disappear after they have been clicked and the upgrade obtained. Currently every time i switch back to my main(layout), and then back to the upgrade shop, the buttons are still there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update:

Ok i got it working by setting a variable change when the button is clicked. If value = 0 the button is visible if value = 1 the button is invisible (pretty much a true false). Is this the best way to do this if I plan on needed a lot of these buttons to work?
