keyguard transition (alphabeting)

Postby Giuseppe » Mon Feb 09, 2015 10:05 pm

I'm using load, save, and exit with keyguard and works.
I Use the string -Component ("KeyGuard"). Object.PauseComponent- to disable those functions in the screens where you do not have to be used. But if I use a transition cancel the command Component ("KeyGuard"). Object.PauseComponent-

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking.
Do you want to know how to cancel the PauseComponent?

I would have to test it, but I would think you would want it as the first command in the frame properties for the next frame that you want to cancel the PauseComponent.

ok, my english in not very good.

I use the keyguard function with keyborad to save (s) load (L) and exit (x).
In the introduction of the game I canceled this function with "Object.PauseComponent", and work fine.
But if in the screens of introduction I use the transition, cancel function " Object.PauseComponent" and I can save and load. I want to use the transition but must not operate the load, save, exit.

No problem about not knowing english very well. I admire you for trying. I would struggle worse than you if this forum wasn't in english! :wink:

Here is an easier way to do it and gives you more control

Create 3 integer variables:
AllowSave
AllowLoad
AllowQuit

From the Project Properties:
Options Tab:
checkmark on: Hide the "Load" button
checkmark on: Hide the "Save" button

Advanced Tab:
checkmark on: Execute some VBScript code every time that a frame is loaded
Code: Select all
AllowSave = 0
AllowLoad = 0
AllowQuit = 0


From any Frame Properties:
Advanced Tab:
[Procedures...] button

Code: Select all
sub KeyGuard_KeyPressed(KeyID)
  ProcessKeyStrokes GetCurrentFrameName, KeyID(0)
  Action.message "key: " & KeyID(0)
End Sub

Sub ProcessKeyStrokes(CurrentFrame, KeyID)
    If KeyID = 8 then
      if AllowSave = 1 then
        Action.PopupSaveGame
      end if
    elseif KeyID = 9 then
      if AllowLoad = 1 then
        Action.PopupLoadGame
      end if
    elseif KeyID = 16 Then
      if AllowQuit = 1 then
        Action.Quit
      end if
    End If
End Sub



For the Frame Properties where you don't want to allow any of the 3 options:
Advanced Tab:
Code: Select all
AllowSave = 0  'No Save
AllowLoad = 0  'No Load
AllowQuit = 0  'No Quit



For the Frame Properties where you want to allow any of the 3 options:
Advanced Tab:
Code: Select all
AllowSave = 1
AllowLoad = 1
AllowQuit = 1



You can mix and match the options to Save, Load, or Quit as you please.

OOPS! I left a message in my code so I could see what key was what! :shock:

In the Procedures area:

remove this line: Action.message "key: " & KeyID(0)

Code: Select all
sub KeyGuard_KeyPressed(KeyID)
  ProcessKeyStrokes GetCurrentFrameName, KeyID(0)
  Action.message "key: " & KeyID(0)
End Sub
