gui menu

[fredou54]

Hello,
I would like to make a simple menu to start my game. I looked on the forum but I still do not understand how to do it (I'm not at all coder lua). if anyone could help me or a tutorial would be welcome.
Thank you for your cooperation and good game.

There is a default menu in pretty much every project. Press escape when you run your game and you should see it appear. 

have a look at the main.lua.

like aggrorjorn said.
but also take a look in menu.lua

you can also take a look at my blog its C++ but very similar to how you would use lua.

I thank you for your help but I do not really understand the procedure to follow.
it's okay I'm going to fine tune my game in the meantime.

From what I can see your level design looks pretty nice. You might find a programmer here who wants to work with you on your game.

Do we really need to get a programmer to write a script for a start menu?

If we could just have some simple examples in the documentation that would help a lot.

There already is a start menu included in the default template.

Hello
there is a menu only by pressing esc. what i would like to do is a boot menu (a start game button to launch the game) I do not know where to put it in the code (menu)
thank you

If you run the game from the editor the start menu is skipped and it launches right into the map. If you run the game outside the editor it starts in the way you describe.

I just tried to publish a standalone on my pc and I have no starter menu game (the game starts without a menu)
I will not bother you with that for the moment, I will resume my level design and come back later on the subject.
Thank you for your help and good game.

Hello. You need to delete "Map/start.map" in Main.lua

Quote

local mapfile = System:GetProperty("map","Map/start.map")
