Help request : scrolling menu

[Trylk255]

Hello guys. I have a little problem...I want to create a scrolling menu, but I don't know how to do this. This is my first time I use Interface designer. Thanks.

You will have to make use of maniascript and animations. Only with interface designer you won't be able to do it.

A little bit help ? pls ?

[Rots]

What do you want to do exactly?

[Trylk255]

Uh... I want to create a couple of submenu, but this will be easier to understand once i will have done a picture on an image editr (such as paint.net (etc)) to show how i want it.


Oh yeah, i tried to add scrolling menus but the Interface designer and maniaplanet crashed.

Hello Trylk,

I'd be glad to give you some advice once you've shared a picture of what you'd like.

Also, the Interface Designer crash is obviously not a feature. Even though a couple of problems have been fixed recently (and the fixes aren't available yet), I'd be glad to know what you did before it crashed. You could post it in your thread, or there : viewtopic.php?f=468&t=30682.

Have a nice day,

I tried to add the scrolling part.

Part wich is moving.

[Rots]

Fyi have a look at this, this are the basics on scripting with manialink related stuff. Show, hide, move quads, animations. A scrolling would be fairly easy to do but atm I have no time to show an example.

What you can do is to make it step by step. You write in a text file the text you wanna write about it, then you continue this file until you have done then copy-paste in "Reply".
