GUI problem

Hi, not sure whether this is posted in the right block.

I am doing a non-fps game, and now it comes to the GUI part. Whenever I add something to the playGui, even only a TextControl or NameHud, after I restart the game, my camera doesn't move at all(even without any coding).

Anyone has encounted the same problem? anyway that I can solve it?

Thanks a lot.

Do you have a visible cursor onscreen when its not working? Make sure your playgui has nocursor = "1"

Another thing you may try is making sure your new code isn't inside another container.

new GuiBitmapCtrl(BottomPrintDlg) {
      profile = "CenterPrintProfile";
      horizSizing = "center";
      vertSizing = "top";
      position = "45 375";
      extent = "550 20";
      minExtent = "8 8";
      visible = "0";
      helpTag = "0";
      bitmap = "./hudfill.png";
      wrap = "0";


      new GuiMLTextCtrl(BottomPrintText) {
         profile = "CenterPrintTextProfile";
         horizSizing = "center";
         vertSizing = "center";
         position = "0 0";
         extent = "546 12";
         minExtent = "8 8";
         visible = "1";
         helpTag = "0";
         lineSpacing = "2";
         allowColorChars = "0";
         maxChars = "-1";
      };
   };
Both of these are bound together. Make sure to add your new code outside that container. (ourside the last closing brace)
