Problems with GUI.Disable

[Conagher]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Hi i am having some problems clearing my GUI off the screen. Im trying clear them so they wont muck up my other GUI.

What is the problem you are having?
I am putting GUI.Disable (buttonX) and it tells me button X has not been declared. As far as i know i am creation buttons properly and this should not happen


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I have tried messing with the buttons and using GUI.hide instead of GUI.disable but none of my attempts worked.
Not really sure whats going on here.

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
Here is the Code i am having problems with. My goal is to have a working game however i cannot continue if this is not solved.
Hope you guys can help me out!

Turing:

import GUI forward procedure gamesetup forward proc gameinfo forward proc titlescreen forward proc startgame %titlescreen body titlescreen cls GUI.SetBackgroundColor (grey) %main title Font var intfont : int intfont := Font.New ("Times New Roman:30") Font.Draw ("Game Title", 250, 300, intfont, blue) %buttons var quitbtn:int:= GUI.CreateButton (150, 20, 400, "Quit", GUI.Quit) var setupbtn:int:= GUI.CreateButton (150, 70, 100, "setup", gamesetup) var infobtn:int:= GUI.CreateButton (150, 100, 100, "game information", gameinfo) end titlescreen titlescreen %gameinfo screen body gameinfo GUI.Disable (quitbtn) cls var backtomenu : int := GUI.CreateButton (150, 0, 400, "back", titlescreen) put "game info will be on this page" end gameinfo %gamesetup screen body gamesetup cls GUI.SetBackgroundColor (grey) Font.Draw ("game setup", 200, 300, defFontID, blue) var startbtn : int := GUI.CreateButton (150, 70, 0, "start!", startgame) end gamesetup %startgame body startgame cls end startgame loop     exit when GUI.ProcessEvent end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
I am using Turing 4.1.1

Your button is not global, its a variable only inside titlescreen, so a GUI.Dispose outside titlescreen won't recognise it. Also, instead of body (procedureName), you could use body proc (procedureName). I think the only difference is that F2 still indents it

And why are you forwarding procedures?

how do i make the variable global?

[Insectoid]

A variable declared inside a procedure, function, loop, etc. is called a 'local variable'. It cannot be used outside the block in which it is declared. A variable declared outside of any procedure or loop or whatever is called a global variable and it can be accessed anywhere in the code. Your button variables are declared inside procedures, which makes them local variables.
