Start Menu and Loading Levels

Hi Guys,

I tried to search but couldn't find what I'm looking for.

I was curious how to do two things.

1) A simple start menu. It would contain 2-3 options. Start, About, and possibly 1 more (maybe Help or Controller Map)

2) I couldn't find a simple explanation about loading another level. For example, if you hit a warp portal or door or simply want to load into a different level (or, I guess in the case of question one, loading the actual game from the start menu "level").

If there's tutorials for either of these, that would be great.

Thanks!

Hello breravin

Here is a post I made a while back that should help you with your start menu:

Making a Title Screen/Menu

And for loading another level you could do something like this on your event sheet:

+Player: On Collision With (warp portal)

   ->System: Go To Layout (What ever layout is your next level)

Awesome, thank you. I was searching for "start menu" so "title screen" didn't come up :)

Level loading: I figured it would be something like that, but I couldn't find it in the manual. I didn't realize you could load multiple layouts in that way. (yes, I'm very new to this :P)

edit: This post looks perfect, thanks again. I see now there were a lot of tutorials listed in the sticky that simply I missed!

Hi Wink,

Sorry, I'm just getting around to this tutorial. However, when I load the page, the tutorial is blank. There's probably something really obvious I'm missing, but I don't know what. I'm running firefox 10.0.2

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

I found the original youtube link, so I'm good to go. Still a bit curious why it didn't load, but no big deal. :)

breravin: indeed I confirm the same thing, but it works in chrome.

Since you have found the youtube channel, it is good, still I did some "report" of this "bug" in "Website issues", keep an eye on it.
