Adding gui disables mouse capture
by Interface · in Torque Game Engine · 02/05/2007 (10:42 pm) · 7 replies
I have just worked through the tutorial and getting accustomed to torque 1.4.2.
When adding the gui text as proposed by the engine (pressing f10, adding guitextctrl), when i exit and come back into the level, the mouse cursor shows up and mouselook is not enabled.
When i replace the playgui with the original empty tutorial one, mouselook is back.
i am guessing adding the textcrtrl is changing some property on that gui but haven't been able to find it. The tutorial comes with a script for the playgui.gui. I have added the settext and left the scorecounter text property empty, and the score:0 shows up meaning this function is actually getting executed. So the enabledirectinput etc should be executing too.
Properties on the gui?
function PlayGui::onWake(%this)
{
// Turn off any shell sounds...
// alxStop( ... );
$enableDirectInput = "1";
activateDirectInput();
ScoreCounter.setText("Score: 0");
// Activate the game's action map
moveMap.push();
}
Thanks.

Thanks, that worked. Looks like that added it to the "dynamic fields" list of the top level gui control.

Add it to your top level GUI control.

Just open the .GUI file manually and add the noCursor = "1". It works wonders :-)Add it to your top level GUI control.

At the top of your gui under play gui add this line canSaveDynamicFields = "1";like this:
new GameTSCtrl(PlayGui) {
canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
Profile = "GuiContentProfile";
HorizSizing = "right";
VertSizing = "bottom";
position = "0 0";
Extent = "1024 768";
MinExtent = "8 8";
canSave = "1";
Visible = "1";
tooltipprofile = "GuiContentProfile";
hovertime = "1000";
applyFilterToChildren = "1";
cameraZRot = "0";
forceFOV = "0";
noCursor = "1";TomFeni

Thanks so much for this. I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out what happened to the mouse.

Like so:
new GameTSCtrl(PlayGui) { profile = "GuiContentProfile"; horizSizing = "right"; vertSizing = "bottom"; position = "0 0"; extent = "640 480"; minExtent = "8 8"; visible = "1"; cameraZRot = "0"; forceFOV = "0"; noCursor = "1"; <<<<<<<
