GUI scripting issues

by Jordan Hirsh · in Torque Game Builder · 06/13/2006 (12:36 pm) · 2 replies

I am having a hard time puting in a start screen for my game. Here is what i have going so far.

Main.cs

exec("~/gui/HUD.gui");
exec("~/gui/startScreen.gui");
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
loadT2DIntro();

gui.cs

function loadFirstLevel()
{
startGame("~/data/levels/level1.t2d");
}

function loadT2DIntro()
{
Canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor);
loadMainMenu();
}

function loadMainMenu()
{
Canvas.setContent(startScreen.gui);
}

game.cs

function startGame(%level)
{
// Set The GUI.
Canvas.setContent(HUD.gui);


$score = 0;
$power = 1;
currentScore.setText($score);


moveMap.push();
if( isFile( %level ) )
{
sceneWindow2D.loadLevel(%level);
}
}


Obviously this code looks like it should work to me, however when running the game when i hit the "play" button it just removes the current level and shows a blank base level editor. When i hit play again it shows my level1 and tells me "there was a problem saving your level as one did not exist. One has been created for you to work in and you may now save your level properly." with an ok button. I cannot seem to figure out what is going on. If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful to hear them.


Thank you in advance

Apon further inspection it is not rebuilding any of my .dso's. The console log is relatively clear. There is some stuff up at the top that i'm not entirely familiar with.

o 'SCHK' maps to UnknownChunk

So I reverted back to a previous version of my project and I am able to edit the game regularly however there are still 0 .dso's in my project. I have not noticed this before, is it normal that the TGB will run without compiling dso's?

I'm using RC2 btw...
