Hello All! I'm new to this forum so i want to make a game i'm maybe 10% done with my game. i want to know how to make my menu to show up when i'm starting the game. My meni will have new game, load game extras, quit. In which script i need to write and what i need to write to make my meni show up after i started the game. My english is not very good!

Create a new scene in ProjectMan, name it "menu" or something. This scene will load a window representing the menu. To do that, edit this scene's scene_init.script and insert something like this:

Code: WME Script

1. var mainMenu = Game.LoadWindow("path\mainmenu.window");
2. mainMenu.GoExclusive();
3.  

Now you need to create the menu window itself. Again, you can add a new window in ProjectMan and edit it using WindowEdit.

And finally tell your game to load the menu scene first. In ProjectMan there's a "Startup scene" option for that.

Be sure to check the "WME Demo 3D". It does exactly what you want, so you can find inspiration and more details there.

thanks all working perfectly but now when i click esc in the mainmenu is showing the other ingame menu. i want to have two menus one for new game, quit, extras, loadgame(that's ok). but the other ingame menu with savegame and quit is showing if you press esc in the main menu.
Sorry for my BAD ENGLISH

For this type of menu, instead of:

Code: WME Script

1. mainMenu.GoExclusive();

try

Code: WME Script

1. mainMenu.GoSystemExclusive();

New problem now in the main menu when i click esc menu closes this is the mainmenu need to stay like in other games so when i click esc my game need to ask if i want to quit. so how i can change in the main menu when i click esc to ask if i want to quit. not just to close the mainmenu i hope you'll understand me

Look inside your main menu script for the on "Keypress" event. You should see something like this:

Code: WME Script

1. on "Keypress"
2. {
3.   // on Esc key
4.   if(Keyboard.KeyCode==VK_ESCAPE)
5.    {
6.  

There you can define what happens when the player presses the escape key (VK_ESCAPE)
