Main menu centered buttons

#1 Post by lFeedYoul »

Hello everybody! I need help. How to remove the main menu buttons when you click on them? I placed the buttons in the center, but when I clicked on them, naturally, the menu of this button pops up, but at the same time the buttons of the main menu are not hidden.

I think you've removed the "tag menu" line from your main menu

Code: Select all

screen main_menu():
    tag menu

Hmm... Everything is in place

Code: Select all

screen main_menu():

    
    tag menu

    style_prefix "main_menu"

    add gui.main_menu_background

    
    frame:
        pass

    
    use navigation

    if gui.show_name:

        vbox:
            text "[config.name!t]":
                style "main_menu_title"

            text "[config.version]":
                style "main_menu_version"

check your other screens for "tag menu"
the screens with the same tag replace each other and when you go to another screen with the same tag, the previous screen will be hidden, if they're not doing that the likely case is: one of them doesn't have the same tag

This is a new project with a standard code, only the position of the buttons in the main menu has been changed using

Code: Select all

screen navigation():
    tag menu

    vbox:
        style_prefix "navigation"

        xalign 0.5
        yalign 0.5

I don't think navigation should have a "tag menu"
maybe you can explain the problem with some screenshots, I still think the problem is a missing or misplaced "tag menu" line somewhere

This normal behavior of the main_menu screen...
Screens of main and game menu are connected by a 'tag menu' and a 'use navigation' statement.
If you want to change it, you need rewrite navigation screen(), and remove a use statement those screens where buttons aren't required.

Thank you so much! I created a second screen game_menu2 completely copying screen game_menu, only deleted use navigation. And in the screens where I needed to have no buttons, I just fixed the use game_menu instead on use game_menu2 and it all worked. Спасибо.
