Lemma Soft Forums

Hello all, new game creator here with just a few questions about my main menu. I've been pretty good about finding my solutions through Google and searching the forums but I guess I haven't been wording my problem correctly because I haven't been able to find the solution...so here it goes.

The first, and biggest, problem is that my main menu is an animated imagemap that for some unknown (and very annoying reason) won't fade out into the game when I hit start. It dissolves into the other menus, like load, preferences, the gallery...but when I start the game there's no transition at all and I can't figure out why.

Here's the code...in case someone asks...



Adding the layout.imagemap_main_menu helped for in game menus but once again...fading in to start the game did nothing... Does the transition go somewhere I'm not aware of?

My other...less important question is that no sounds are working when the hotspots are clicked on the imagemap... Why is this? Because it works for the other buttons in the other menus...granted these aren't imagemaps but still...

Okay, thank you...and PLEASE HELP!

That's the only way I know how to do it, and yes you must put "with dissolve" below "scene" to make it work. (Has done this with all his other games)

Ah! Yes, that's it... I know exactly what I did wrong now. Hah! It had nothing to do with the imagemaps at all... But when I put in my splashscreen it didn't have an entering transition. Why are the things the give you the most trouble always so easy to solve??? Thank you so much...

Now for that button sounds....

Hi, I'm sorry, that I'm not here to help you. I was just searching for solutions of my own problems and found interesting that animated imagemap. Will you please tell me, where can I found more informations about that?

Sure, actually an animated imagemap isn't all that hard...It sounds like it would be but it's not~

This is the code I used. My animation is just blinking lights but I think it really brings so much more to the menu...You can of course make it more advanced but adding images different transitions and things, and by changing the time a picture is seen.



Then just use "slideshow" or whatever you call the animation in place of the image you originally used for your map...



I used mine for the main menu (obviously) and everything works pefectly!

Goooood luck!
