Turing GUI Buttons Won't Clear

[RowanV]

Hey everyone, I am still somewhat new to Turing, and I've been having trouble with my game. I made a series of buttons (a main menu) and one of the buttons on the main menu goes to another set of buttons (a level selector). My problem is that the buttons from the original menu don't go away, they are registered when clicked as opposed to the new buttons, no matter how much I try to get rid of them using commands like dispose, disable, hide, and cls. I made this sample to show you the most basic form of my problem. Help please!

Turing:

import GUI forward proc Button1 forward proc Button2 forward proc End body proc End     put "Done" end End body proc Button1     cls     var Buttonx : int := GUI.CreateButtonFull (maxx div 2 - 250, maxy div 2 - 50, 500, "Button1", Button2, 100, 's', true)     loop         exit when GUI.ProcessEvent     end loop     GUI.Dispose (Buttonx)     GUI.Hide (Buttonx)     GUI.Disable (Buttonx) end Button1 body proc Button2     cls     var Buttony : int := GUI.CreateButtonFull (maxx div 2 - 250, maxy div 2 - 50, 500, "Button2", End, 100, 's', true)     loop         exit when GUI.ProcessEvent     end loop end Button2 Button1

This is the best way to get help with figuring out problems.

Turing:

loop         exit when GUI.ProcessEvent     end loop     GUI.Dispose (Buttonx)

Here, GUI.Dispose is positioned after an infinite loop. The loop will not exit until GUI.Quit is called (See GUI.ProcessEvent), but such is not available in your example. The documentation on GUI.Dispose provides an example that should work.

You might not want to actually use GUI.Quit, as it will disable all ProcessEvent calls. You can exit your loops via your own conditions

Turing:

loop   if <your condition> then     % do stuff   elsif <condition to exit> then     exit   elsif GUI.ProcessEvent then     % handle GUI.Quit   end if end loop

how do I have multiple buttons on one screen?

Just create more than one button. Use GUI.CreateButton twice to get two different buttons.
