question about main menu transition

[eesy]

Hi!
I have imagemapped main menu, but when I click the buttons, it doesn't have any dissolve transition. For example, I want to have the transition when the 'Preference' button is clicked, then dissolves into the pref screens. The one I have just jumps to the pref screens without any effects... It doesn't work only in the main menu, inside the game menu, the transition works.

I have this code too

Code: Select all

    ## Miscellaneous customizations

    ## These let you change the transitions that are used when entering
    ## and exiting the game menu.

    config.enter_transition = dissolve
    config.exit_transition = dissolve

Any idea how to fix my front main menu to have dissolve too? Sorry im such a noob

You have to use

Code: Select all

action ShowMenu

instead of just

Code: Select all

action Show

to get the default transitions.

yes somehow , it still works, but very very rare, but only for the exit.

I already have the show menu code like

Code: Select all

            hotspot (322, 421, 158, 56) action Start() 
            hotspot (212, 421, 110, 56) action ShowMenu("load") 
            hotspot (71, 421, 141, 56) action ShowMenu("preferences") 
            hotspot (623, 421, 102, 56) action Quit(confirm=True) 

but nothing.
the enter sound mixes too.. although only happen in the main menu exit. so sometimes i could hear the sound from
style.hotspot.activate_sound = "assets/sound/sample19.wav" but sometimes this
config.enter_sound = "assets/sound/sample5.wav"

Code: Select all

    ## Sounds that are used when button and imagemaps are clicked.
    style.hotspot.hover_sound = "assets/sound/metalic.mp3"
    style.button.hover_sound = "assets/sound/metalic.mp3"
    style.button.activate_sound = "assets/sound/sample20.wav"
    style.imagemap.activate_sound = "assets/sound/sample5.wav"
    style.hotspot.activate_sound = "assets/sound/sample19.wav"
    ## Sounds that are used when entering and exiting the game menu.

    config.enter_sound = "assets/sound/sample5.wav"
    config.exit_sound = "assets/sound/sample20.wav"

in the game , the enter_sound works fine, just in the main menu it plays sample19 . any idea?

been 4 days!
I don't mind about the sound anymore.
I just want to know what I did wrong that there aren't any dissolve transition in my main menu ? (when i click preferences and stuff)
what should I do? I really need to work on my game fast ><;;

You can use

Code: Select all

Show("menu", transition=dissolve)

To manually force transitions. You can also define your own transition and use it in there.

Also, you can use

Code: Select all

action [Show("menu", transition=dissolve), Play("sound", "sound.ogg")] hovered Play("sound", "sound2.ogg")

To play sounds on click and hover.

thank you, it works!!
however, do you know how to enable some button so people can easily hide the window whenever they want to?
click x to hide window, click x again to show window, something like that..
i replied to the wrong thread ..
