----------------------------------- void Mon Jun 09, 2003 8:12 am Multiple Window Data Transfer ----------------------------------- Oky, heres the problem..i have this gay ass space shooter game, and i cant display the score on the same window, because i use cls alot, and thus making it hard for the player to see his/her score...now..when i shoot and hit...it tells me how many points i gain and howmuch i have...but only for like .5 seconds...now...i wanna make it so that the player can play in one window, and a secondary window that i will open will display the score...never needing to cls....is this possible...if yes...how would i go about sending data to taht window for display..thank you ----------------------------------- Prince Mon Jun 09, 2003 10:03 am ----------------------------------- update the score normally and use Window.Select (winID) to put the score in the other window... dont forget to switch back for the game or itll get very screwy ----------------------------------- Mephi Mon Jun 09, 2003 11:03 am ----------------------------------- use a delay when sum1 gets hit or sumthin.... ----------------------------------- ShadowStorm Mon Jun 09, 2003 3:32 pm ----------------------------------- If you use delay.. the game would stop.. i don't think he want's that to happen.. ----------------------------------- void Mon Jun 09, 2003 3:56 pm ----------------------------------- thanks prince ----------------------------------- void Mon Jun 09, 2003 4:05 pm ----------------------------------- one more thingy..how do u position ur screen aagain when u open it..... ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jun 09, 2003 4:33 pm ----------------------------------- var window : int := Window.Open ("position:x;y") ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Jun 09, 2003 5:24 pm ----------------------------------- ya, but u dun even have to use Window.Open you can just use setscreen setscreen("position: center;center) setscreen("position: center;top") ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jun 09, 2003 7:09 pm ----------------------------------- well if he's going to be using multiple windows, he kinda needs Window.Open ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Jun 09, 2003 7:19 pm ----------------------------------- true, u got a point there ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Jun 09, 2003 7:20 pm ----------------------------------- hey does any body know how to close a window that wasn't opened with Window.Open? ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jun 09, 2003 7:29 pm ----------------------------------- I would have thought something like this would have worked, but apparently you're not supposed to be able to close the main run window... var activeWindow : int activeWindow := Window.GetActive Window.Close (activeWindow) ----------------------------------- Andy Mon Jun 09, 2003 7:32 pm ----------------------------------- damn, cause its real screwy if u have gui on a opened window ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Jun 09, 2003 7:36 pm ----------------------------------- hey does any body know how to close a window that wasn't opened with Window.Open? i'm pretty sure you can't. just start your program with your Window.Open window or at least make sure you don't draw/put before it's opened ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jun 09, 2003 7:38 pm ----------------------------------- if it's something like a game or something where I care about what size the window is or whatever I'll usually always have my first line as my window ----------------------------------- void Mon Jun 09, 2003 8:37 pm ----------------------------------- why dont u just do this var guiWIN,gameWIN:int var x,y,b:int guiWIN:=Window.Open("fullscreen") put "THIS IS THE GUI" loop Mouse.Where(x,y,b) exit when b=1 end loop gameWIN:=Window.Open("fullscreen") Window.Close(guiWIN) Window.Select(gameWIN) put "THIS IS THE GAME" ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jun 09, 2003 8:56 pm ----------------------------------- the fullscreen thing doesn't work...=/ ----------------------------------- void Mon Jun 09, 2003 8:59 pm ----------------------------------- ur kidding me...it works for me ( i dont use turing 4.x tho...i use the older one...the one that supports sprites (3.something))...maybe that might be it...but that program should work fine ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jun 09, 2003 9:16 pm ----------------------------------- well i got the 4.0.3 and it doesn't work =/ man turing's wierd...functions that used to work in older versions dont work in new version... it's like it's getting worse everyversion that comes out... =Þ ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jun 09, 2003 9:50 pm ----------------------------------- for full screen in 4 for you use "graphics:max;max" which gives a window that takes up the whole screen rather than the full screen that was in 3 ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Jun 09, 2003 10:09 pm ----------------------------------- that's not full screen... fullscreen is when u can't see the window top bar... ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Mon Jun 09, 2003 10:13 pm ----------------------------------- yeah I know that's not fullscreen... but that's about as close as you can get in 4 as far as I know... in 3 all you did to get fullscreen was fullscreen as void said ----------------------------------- Andy Tue Jun 10, 2003 5:54 pm ----------------------------------- homer, u only have 4.03? come on man, get with it, 4.04c was out a long time ago ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Tue Jun 10, 2003 6:16 pm ----------------------------------- oh yeah i meant 4.0.4c or something like that..(the latest version)... must have been a typo or something... =/
