[HELP] Function Control

[arthurvalenca]

Hello All, i'm using a module that I found here in the group "AM Controls Module v1.0", I'm modifying it to work as I want, an example when I'm in the layout and press "Enter - select" it opens the menu on the left side, scroll until down in "Launch" I press "Enter" again it simply closes the menu and does not start the game, could someone help me with this code, what I would like to do and when selecting the game the menu appears and after pressing " Enter "the game starts from the menu and not directly from the layout.

Code: [Select]

function control_signals( signal ){

if (signal == "select"){

if (menu.visible) hide_menu();
else show_menu();
return true;

}

else if ( signal == "back" ){

if (manager.enabled) hide_menu();
else if (menu.visible) menu_hide(); else return
return true;
}
return false;
}

Can someone help me please?

in your code, it says, if the menu is visible, hide the menu when you click enter (I assume the "hide_menu()" function has nothing about selecting a game in it):

Code: [Select]

if (signal == "select"){

if (menu.visible) hide_menu();
else show_menu();
return true;

}

remove "hide_menu()" and replace it with fe.signal( select )

@OP I am using control module like this:

Code: [Select]

//Custom Overlay: Game Info & Options Menu: Control Module: Signal Handlers
function start_menu()
{
g_surface.visible = true;
manager.enabled = true;
}

function stop_menu()
{
g_surface.visible = false;
manager.enabled = false;
}

function start_menu2()
{
g_surface2.visible = true;
manager2.enabled = true;
}

function stop_menu2()
{
g_surface2.visible = false;
manager2.enabled = false;
}

function cmenu_start()
{
manager.enabled = true;
}

function cmenu_stop()
{
manager.enabled = false;
}

function cmenu2_start()
{
manager2.enabled = true;
}

function cmenu2_stop()
{
manager2.enabled = false;
}

function g_surface_show()
{
g_surface.visible = true;
}

function g_surface_hide()
{
g_surface.visible = false;
}

function g_surface2_show()
{
g_surface2.visible = true;
}

function g_surface2_hide()
{
g_surface2.visible = false;
}

function control_signals( signal )
{
if (signal == "select")
{
if (manager.enabled) return; else start_menu();
return true;
}
else if ( signal == "back" )
{
if (manager.enabled) cmenu_stop();
else if (manager2.enabled) stop_menu2();
else if (g_surface.visible) g_surface_hide();
else if (g_surface2.visible) g_surface2_hide(); else return
return true;
}
else if (signal == "custom2")
{
if (g_surface2.visible) stop_menu2(); else start_menu2();
return true;
}
return false;
}

fe.add_signal_handler("control_signals");

//Game: info Panel: Control Module: Iniitialize Controls Manager
manager.init();

Thanks for the answer, but in reality what i wanted is to put the command "Select" to open the menu, and the same command "Select" to start the game, a key for 2 functions pressing "Select" opens the menu and pressing "Select "again starts the game.

try something simple like this:

Code: [Select]

function minimenu (str){
if (str=="select")
if (minimenu == false){
minimenu==true
}
elseif (minimenu == true){
fe.signal(select)
}
}
if thats having some probs, change your action button to custom (str to "custom1-4")
