Sample Options/Settings screen not returning to title

[thatguy]

HI there,

I'm customizing my menus, and things are going fairly well, but one thing isn't working for me. I'm not sure how to fix it.

When going to the Options/Setting screen, the hotspot on the bottom left "Return To Title" doesn't seem to be working. It doesn't show a hover graphic, and it doesn't seem to be clickable, but the hotspot seems to be on the image map.

Thanks very much for all the help.

It seems that "Bind Enabled-State" is checked on the property of that particular hotspot. Unchecking it appears to make it work.

Hi, actually, the Big Arrow at the top-left area of the settings menu brings you back. The Back to Title button is only clickable if you are in game and it will exit the game and brings you back to title screen. The arrow button will bring you back to the previous screen which is either the game or the title screen depending from where you opened the settings menu.

So it's intentionally not clickable when accessed from the title screen. Interesing. I suppose I can see why. Thanks.

But I noticed another menu selection issue last night. I hope it's okay to ask you here?

I'm using the standard message box in-game. When I click on the load & save options, it brings me to a generic menu setup and not the custom menus that I created (and that were accessible from the main title screen.)

Is that intentional?

You are the 2nd or 3rd person running into this, I think we have to make that more clear in the future. But yes because you are mixing up Scripted-UI with Action-based UI, probably without knowing. So you have to use the Action-based Message Box OR changed it so that the links from the Message Box open the correct menus. (I can help you with this if necessary). More info below:

The original name, you can see that in the templates folder in install-folder of VN Maker, of the Action-based UI template is "In-Game UI Example" and as the name suggests, this is just an example how to do an UI with commands only.

The actual default UI is the scripted one which is why some default commands such as Add Choice, Show Choices, Input Text, Input Number and Message Box Visibility are optimized to work with that default UI. However, we decided later to make the "In-Game UI Example" the default template when you create a new project since it is so much easier for a beginner to customize the UI, thats the reason. But at the same time, it might also be a bit confusing why some of the regular message commands are not working as expected there.

However, if you use Action-based UI, many of the message commands have been recreated with common events. You can see that there is a Common Event for all the standard message commands such as Add Choice, Show Choices, Input Text, Input Number, Show Message Box and Hide Message Box. You need to use those if you wanna use Action-based UI.
