how do you create a "toggle" button

[stevenp]

how do you create a "toggle" button? like press the button once it goes to a menu, press the button again, it exits the menu?

i have the menu already but the way im using it is, key down ( go to menu) key up go back to normal position screen, and that gets annoying

Before i explain it, do you know how to make timers well???

[stevenp]

OK...
Well, first make a variable called "menu",integer
Do you mean do 2 things or more in 1 button right?
Keydown>Button>

Code: Select all

if(menu==0)
{
    //go to menu2 from menu1
    CreateTimer("Menu2Set", 50 ms);
}

Timer>Menu2Set>

Code: Select all

menu=1;

Keydown>Button>

Code: Select all

if(menu==1)
{
    //back to menu1
    CreateTimer("Menu1Set", 50 ms);
}

Timer>Menu1Set>

Code: Select all

menu=0;

i meant going from the game screen, to the menu, and back, all with only 1 button, like a toggle, on / off , but il try that and see if it works

depends how your translation is controlled, if it's controlled by a variable, use this:

Code: Select all

Var=!Var;
