Menu problem

Post by **Mogri** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 4:44 am

I'm not sure if this is something I'm doing wrong or an engine bug.

Scenario 1: I create a menu in CUSTOM and disable the cancel button. When I access that menu in GAME, the cancel button has no effect.

Scenario 2: I create a menu in a plotscript:

Code: Select all

   m &#58;= create menu
   set menu bit&#40;m, menubit&#58;no close, true&#41;

When I access this menu in GAME, the cancel button opens the main menu.

My expectation is that the cancel button would have no effect in scenario 2. Is there something else I need to do here?

There's a menu bitset for "Prevent Main Menu Activation" (menubit:prevent main menu, apparently). That might be what you want.

Hm, so there is. But I never set it for my other menus.

At least my problem is solved

Could it be a difference in the "Allow Gameplay And Scripts" bitset?

I believe that menus you create in custom have that bit default to OFF, but menus you create in a script have it default to ON

Yes, I realized that in the car on the way to work today. It's unintuitive that this is separate from and overrides the main menu trigger bit, but it makes a certain sense, I guess.
