The menu/ user interface is in no way a pause menu. It is a transparent or semi transparent layer that is higher up than the game layers.

A button. little button under your health next to scroll. with letter M for menu easier that dragging out the menu. Keep the drag as well, just another option. Or set key "m" to pull out the menu as well.

Trying to put everything on screen, even if 90% of it is hidden and accessed when needed is every developers headache.

Best of luck.

Edit: this is what I mean about user interface.

DUTOIT : Solution in this post

Doc Ai: Yes.

Thanks

Whats wrong with your menu, it looks good? Maybe I not understanding the question?

Suggest a button to pop it out is always nice, and make the menu background less see through as it is hard to see with game behind.

Lol, you misunderstand me

You make menu invisible on layer 18. You disable the menu buttons in group "Menu Buttons" So user clicking doesn't click the invisible buttons.

When user clicks menu button it does 2 things.

Make layer 18 visible and enable group "menu buttons"

What you are talking about is a global user interface GUI which I have on my last layer and use zoom to fill screen.

I have my event log, my health, my whatever I want in it. It is always active, always visible.

If I want me player to go to options screen then, I disable gui butons, and make gui layer invisible and same other way round so to speak.

You can have them pop out with mouse over or whatever you want.

I think the one example is pop out menu.

Edit Number something lol - nice mmo, looks good. Nice equiping of axe,shield, dagger etc.

So can you not get the license badge if you got the personal edition on Steam?

Lol, I have two accounts. This one DUTOIT is when I brought my steam license and then there is another one where I purchased a business license here. My other account has nice shiny medal, while as you can see this account has nothing.

Why not use my other account? Well, its a rep point thing - other one has 100 rep points and this one over 4000.

Couldn't something like this work? Instead of havin a grid 32x32 make it 40x40 where 1 pixel is 1m

Oh, here is the sourcethread

Or image points?

Or waypoints?

Or as example capx zones

Sidenote if you puting waypoints...

Nice to show grid in general in C2

file|home|View

goto view

select show grid and choose your grid width/height

Here is full game for you... has grid movement and turn-based and AI

Lol, how to stop the you've been referenced in post. This is not the , this is just someone posting within a post I posted in. It somehow adds me to be notified. Even if notify me if post is posted is not ticked.

I love all the notices, but wow??? lol

Edit: and it doesn't happen all the time.

Exactly Rabenmutter

Agreed, I was stressing a point. He has been banned repeatedly and hasn't learnt.

Actually come to think of it, I think he is back again (new username) and I helped him out, because he handled that post correctly. I think it is him, asking same questions, but perhaps he learnt. All I hope he has tossed the cracked version and is using the free as he says.

That way with respect, understanding and integrity, he can build his game. Oh, work ethic too - lol

I use one layout, and various layers to make menus. You can set layers visible/ invisible etc. so you can cycle through menus by hiding them etc

also put the events for menu in group and activate/deactivate group so that user doesn't trigger an event accidently.

So menu is always on top of game, it is just invisible and deactivated until I activate, make it visible with button or whatever.

Some tutorial in tutorial section with basic menu and tabs etc.

Worth a look

Thisalso explains a bit.

shadowlord: May I look your code in construct project ?

He gave this link to his cap

Edit: posted same time as zenox98

Also if you refering to his whole/finnished project - I seriouly doubt that. People work hard, some spending months making something, and trust me unless they abandon it, it is safe to say they ain't ever going to give you their work.
