A-ha! So the contents of the container window do not disappear? (That would exmplain everything.)

OK, so lt me explain better 
.
I have a bunch of window files, characters.script, events.script and locations.script - each of them also has a .window file. Now, when I click the characters-button in events or locations window, I want to load the contents of the characters window to either events or locations window. But this gives a this program has performed an illegal operation widow.
(the old code has been commented out)
Edit: I added the missing }

« on: January 18, 2004, 06:44:05 PM »
I'm trying to create slider for controlling music volume. I have created an entity container, but I'm unable to change the position of the slider object in the window. The script of the slider-entity, slider.script, looks like this:
It says it doesn't recognize GetEntity().
The x=200 is just for testing purposes :D btw
Code: [Select]
#include "scripts\base.inc"
//var scrollbutton=Game.LoadEntity("\slider\slider.entity");
//scrollbutton.Visible=true;
var scrollBtn=Window.GetEntity();
on "LeftClick"
{
scrollBtn.X=200;
Game.Msg("left_CLICK");
}
on "LeftRelease"
{
Game.Msg("left_release");
}
It says it doesn't recognize GetEntity().

Sorry, MMR, I'm under a wov of silence 
. If everything goes well, you don't have to wait too long for a playable demo. Have you visited the teaser site? http://www.foreverdreamstudios.com/games.html
Instead of making the buttons open a window, I made them assign a value to a global variable (which I cleverly named go_on, don't ask me why); like go_on="characters", go_on="events", go_on="locations". Then, in the dialogue script:
Now it's stuck in the loop, until go_on=="go_on" - whic happens if you close the window or you click on a note that begins a dialogue. Phew!

I have a problem with the notepad system, once again. Everything else works, but...
I have three separate windows - Locations, Events and Characters. Now, when I talk to a person, and choose [Consult Notepad], the Characters-window appears by default. In each window are buttons that open the other windows. Now, if I don't want to ask about anything in the Characters window, I should be able to choose either the Events or locations window - and this works - but because the code looks like this
...the Locations/Events window opens AND the OldGuyDialogue() script is executed, thus displaying the dialogue choices and making the screen a mess.
I tried a different method: I created one window called Notepad, and made Characters/Loacations/Events sort of sub-windows (if real subwindows can be created, I don't know how). Within the Notepad-window I could have switched between the different sub-windows - but this didn't work, as the only way to open a window is the GoExclusive, and when another window is opened on top of the Notepad window, it makes the controls in Notepad-window unaccessible.
In my mind a few ideas are forming, but... do you have any ideas?

You know, I just tested, and it DOES work
! I probably didn't notice it before, because when you choose "enable 3D acceleration", you can't deselect "Run In Window" anymore - I had missed this completely! Thanks for the clarification
