Menu help please!

Can someone provide me with code to create a menu based on text actors, when the focus is on an option, the text goes opaque, otherwise it goes 50% transparent....?

You need to create a integer variable (like focus) and change the transparency of the actor based on the focus variable.
Some thing like this:

On Key Down event for the key Down:

Code: Select all

focus++;
if(focus > 2) focus = 1;

switch(focus)
{
case 1:
  button1.transp = 0; //opaque
  button2.transp = .5; //transparent
  break;

case 2:
  button1.transp = .5;
  button2.transp = 0;
  break;
}

Use the Variables button in the Script Editor

I used 4 different animations, example:

See the middle image:


I used 4 animations, i used in every animation all the options and 1 highlighted.
With an Keydown event such as "up", it changes animation to the top option, than i made an keydown with "up" and "enter" (in that order) and it loads the game.

This i also did for the other options and just change animation and i've got a little menu.
