One question: in a commercial game, Should I pay something to you, Mordi?

Just mention me in your game. Dont put me as "Menu made by Mordi", though, since I only made the engine behind it. Many people have done this "mistake".

OK, THANKS A LOT!
I´ll put you in the credits

Simply amazing!
Mordi, you are the GOD of GML.
I'm going to use this in my game. Thank you for creating it.

Will defn have a look at this one... Right now, I have a crappy menu...

[conman124]

Very nice!!

The only thing I wish would be changed would be some sort of function to change the name of a button. Could you add this?

SOLVED- I USED THE SEARCH FUNCTION

I dont know if i missed something in the tutorial but anyways:

How do i add a button that will change to the next room? I tried

sc_menu_add_button("Back","RoomGoto(Level1)");

But it didnt work

any ideas?

If you have the same problem type this:

sc_menu_add_button("Play","room_goto(Room1)");

Yup. The only "goto" function I made was MenuGoto (I think).

The separators aren't accounted for when taking mouse input on the buttons, so the buttons' clickboxes (after the separator) are above where they should be. I really like this a lot, though.

I continue to have problems with the menu shrinking and blurring when I merge this into a game. Is there a setting that must be kept in order for this to display properly? I made a test with multiple games of mine and didn't touch the menu code. I simply merged > moved menu room to top > and played.... Every time, it shrunk. I find this odd because when I play the menu example before its merged, it works fine. This shrinking happens after its been merged.

Before I merged: Screenshot
After I merged: Screenshot

Note: screen resolution was not changed, nor room size, views, or speed...

If you notice the font in your first screenshot you can see that it is Arial Black size... 18 maybe? In your other screenshot the font is Arial size 12-ish.

The menu scales automatically to fit with whatever font size you have.

The scaling isn't very smooth, is it? To improve the scaling part, I suggest to not use draw_text_transformed. I would let the program create a sprite for each button.

It was a font problem. In your drawing code it sets the font to menu_font. I already had a font called this which was in fact a smaller font. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ah. Yes, some variables have common names. I didnt quite worry too much about that when I made it.

mordi, that it fregin' awesome! 10/10 man! The only con is that the text looks a little pixelated when you highlight it... nothing I can't fix though.

The link in the first post has a "3" on the end of it causing it to be broken.
