Stupid question: I've been trying to make a subtitles on/off button, but it doesn't work. Any example code?

[Mnemonic]

Code: [Select]

var BtnSubtitles = this.GetControl("subtitles");

BtnSubtitles.Pressed = Game.Subtitles;
if(BtnSubtitles.Pressed) BtnSubtitles.Text = "X";



////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "subtitles"
{
BtnSubtitles.Pressed = !BtnSubtitles.Pressed;
Game.Subtitles = BtnSubtitles.Pressed;
if(BtnSubtitles.Pressed) BtnSubtitles.Text = "X";
else BtnSubtitles.Text = "";
}

Thanks!

Is that saved even when restarting the game? I tried to make one work with registry but without luck.

No, this value is stored in a saved game. If you want to store it in registry, you'll have to use the Game.RegWriteNumber and Game.RegReadNumber methods explicitly.

Every time the window is opened again the old state of the button is returned and in order to change it you have to click the button twice. Any help?

[Mnemonic]

I don't see anything wrong with the code above. The first few lines setup the button according to the Game.Subtitles attribute. This code is taken directly from PJ demo so it should work.

[deadworm222]

Hmm, will test.

[deadworm222]

Maybe the button should have some attributes I'm missing? Also, I'm using SetImage instead of just writing "X"...

options.window

Code: [Select]

BUTTON
{
   IMAGE="sprites\interface\Options\checkbox_on.jpg"
   PARENT_NOTIFY=TRUE
   NAME = "subtitle_btn"

   X = 140
   Y = 192
   WIDTH = 23
   HEIGHT = 17
}

options.script (attached to options.window)

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"
#include "scripts\keys.inc"



var BtnSubtitles = this.GetControl("subtitle_btn");

BtnSubtitles.Pressed = Game.Subtitles;
if(BtnSubtitles.Pressed) BtnSubtitles.SetImage("sprites\interface\Options\checkbox_on.jpg");



////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "subtitle_btn"
{
BtnSubtitles.Pressed = !BtnSubtitles.Pressed;
Game.Subtitles = BtnSubtitles.Pressed;
if(BtnSubtitles.Pressed) BtnSubtitles.SetImage("sprites\interface\Options\checkbox_on.jpg");
else BtnSubtitles.SetImage("sprites\interface\Options\checkbox_off.jpg");
}

The problem is, that your button is using the checked image by default, while your script only changes the image if the button is (also) checked, it does nothing if it's not checked. So either change the default image to unchecked (in the window definition) or change the script to:

var BtnSubtitles = this.GetControl("subtitle_btn");

BtnSubtitles.Pressed = Game.Subtitles;
if(BtnSubtitles.Pressed) BtnSubtitles.SetImage("sprites\interface\Options\checkbox_on.jpg");
else BtnSubtitles.SetImage("sprites\interface\Options\checkbox_off.jpg");

Ah, thanks!

Using this method for changing the state of the games Subtitle, what might be the best method to replace the buttons graphics with changing text (such as 'on' and 'off'), with the text taken from the String.tab?

[Mnemonic]

It would be almost the same, but instead of changing the image, you'd change the text.

Code: WME Script

1. if(BtnSubtitles.Pressed) BtnSubtitles.Text = Game.ExpandString("/some_id/On");
2. else BtnSubtitles.Text = Game.ExpandString("/some_other_id/Off");

Excellent, Thanks for your help
