Title: Menubar stuff
Post by: Doan Sephim on March 31, 2007, 09:49:27 PM

I am having difficulty with the menubar. I wanted to hide it for my introduction scene and so I coded in (MenuBar:hide()) and that works pretty well (although it still allows the player to use the menubar, it's just hidden). The problem comes in when I go to the game proper...the menubar is not there! So I tried the very likely (MenuBar:show()) because the hide worked well, but this crashes the game.

So my question is this: what is the easiest way to disable the Menubar and then reintroduce it? I tried to see how it was down with the Titlescreen script (since it is disabled there) but did not find the answer...

Try (MenuBar:draw())

MenuBar doesn't have a show method, that's why it crashes (see the top of the Controls.sc file).

I'm trying to put strict type-checking into the C-style syntax I'm trying to support.  That would catch this kind of problem at compile time.
