subApp documentation

[Ogglop]

Hello!

I have been looking around for documentation on the sub application extension but can´t realy find much of any help.

What im trying to do is a pause screen where i want the player to be able to select equipment and such. From what i have read sub app is the way to go but there might be a simpler way? So basicly what i am trying to accomplish is to pause the game, show a diffrent screen and change som globals.

Well....


Insert the sub-app into the game frame.

Look at the properties of the sub-app, and check "Share Global Values and Strings"

Make a new frame for the inventory, and set the sub-app to load that frame.

Set the sub-app to NOT create at start.

When you want the sub-app to be created, also pause the existing game (I recommend putting all your code into a big group and deactivating the group + movements)

To make the sub-app, just use the "Create object" action under the "Create object" (simple, eh?)

When detecting when the sub-app is over, use the condition (under sub-app) "Application has ended/closed/something like that?"

Make sure to add "Only one action when event loops" to the above condition (found under the Special object)

Thanks for the reply.

I´ll give it a go, I think maybe i´ve been over complicating things.
