Hello, you are trying to create a new block with the functionality you need, or just trying to use an existing block?

[zartan9]

hi here is how it looks now... Im also doing something else wrong because the other choices 3 and 5 dont seem to work when i press the numbers 3 / 5...

[haroldo-ok]

Since "choices" is a numeric variable, it can only have a single value, so, if you set it to 3, then set it to 5, it will always keep the last value you set, so, in the example above:

set choices to 3
set choices to 5
if choices = 3:
    say "go on"
if choices = 5:
    say "go on2"

In the example above, it will always say "go on2", because it will set "choices" to 3, then, without doing anything else, it will set "choices" do 5, and only then it will execute the two "ifs "; since "choices" will be 5 by the time the "ifs" are reached, only the expression from the second if will be evaluated as true.

[haroldo-ok]

Every menu option must be added inside the "menu" block. If you want to have 3 or 4 options, they will have to be added inside the "menu" block; you can combine them with if/else, if you want, but this if/else also has to be inside the menu block.

You have to set the character name before calling the menu, or else, it will use the last character name that was used, wich means that if you didn't call the "character" block even once before opening the menu, it will use the default value, which is, literally, "character name"

[haroldo-ok]

Okay, I will try to make an example later.

[haroldo-ok]

Okay, here's an example with 5 menu options.

hi thank you it's working! still not sure where to define character name (have another graphic screenshot) but i have a start now.. i mayve mentioned this but a suggestion is not have the options black box take up the whole width.
PS any plans for NES (as unity 8bit does that) anyway i like your software I will keep exploring :)

[haroldo-ok]

Hello,

In order to set the character name, you have to add the "Character" block before the menu.

As for NES, good call, I didn't notice they had added support for that platform
#23

[haroldo-ok]

Interesting... there really seems to be a bug with the character name block; it should be updating the name, but isn't...

[zartan9]

got it. keep up the nice work! Ill keep exploring the engine :)

[haroldo-ok]

Hello, again;
No,there is no limit of images in the editor, but there does seem to be a bug where the image selection pop-up isn't correctly handling the large amount of options...

[zartan9]

yes sir! I keep lookin fwd to updates as your engine is easy to use :) thanks!

[haroldo-ok]

Hello, again, I fixed the bug with the image list:
