Re: Gui

#1 Well we found the problem. The code was right, but another file has to be edited. serverConnection.cs has to be edited from Canvas.setContent(PlayGui); to Canvas.setContent(TheShell); This file is located in the Client/Scripts directory. Thanks to Bryan for the help in solving this issue.

#2 Ok...maybe it didn't work as well as I thought. It's not placing the second frameset underneath the first. It's still trying to put the second frame in the first frame. I think I know what's wrong, just don't know at this point how to fix it. Here's the updated lines of code.

#4 The way it looks now is a hud inside of the main hud....it's really bizarre.

#5 Not using the guiFrameCtrl ?

www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=23640

frameCtrl is what the in game editor uses

#6 Thank you, that's what I was searching the forum for all day.

#7 Sado showed me how to fix the problem in the gui editor. Now that's taken care of. The only problem I have now is that the mouse won't move the camera around. I suspect it has something to do with a focus issue....any ideas?

#8 Hmm, not sure, might get a chance to help you more tomorrow... if your not using frameCtrl I'd recommend it, considering it was made for frames and the in game editors use it quite effectively... sorry I can't be of much help now =/
no sleep = no brain power lol so I better crash

#9 Well found the problem....I had to add noCursor = "1"; to my new top node guicontrol and it worked fine. Such a simple fix ;)
