Play gui engine moving my buttons

by Richard Preziosi · in Torque Game Engine · 02/19/2007 (9:41 am) · 2 replies

Ok, I've made a bar of bitmap buttons controls, i've placed them and if i hit f10 it will show my buttons, but then if i press it 2 more times, say i have to make changes, the buttons i didn't make changes do go away, or get moved way off of the screen, it is also resizing my buttons extent, they need to have the same extent or they are blurry. Now I save everytime i toggle between the gui editor and the game itself. How can I make my buttons stay where i am putting them, i've tried everything from left, top, bottom, center, relative, right, etc. nothing is working. Thanks.

Change the editor resolution to the same res you play with. This is usually 800x600, but the stock GUI editor is less.

That's how I have had it, but i still am getting the same problems, what's really bugging me is the fact that it is resizing it, even if i dont' switch resoultions, can a maxextent be set?
