Title: dialogues and the escape key...
Post by: bedges on 25 Jun 2005, 13:37:14

before i go and try it all out, i thought i'd ask.

i have dialogue which will basically recreate a tv screen type thing. if i create the graphical overlays at 1024 x 768, will they extend off the screen for players with 800 x 600 screen res, and worse, not extend far enough across for players with higher res?

edit - i tried it, it's fine. the question has changed...

i'm using the dialogue over a cutscene. if the escape key is pressed, the dialogue disappears, but the cutscene continues until escape is pressed again.

is there a way to detect the escape key being pressed, or alternatively if the dialogue is no longer displayed?

I had a worry about this when making an intro when replacing the bourders with my own images...

But i found i did not have this problem if i used the RscTitles for the images, may be you could use this to create the TV screen.

more info for this can be found at the link below..

You can chech whether the dialog is visible by chechking ctrlVisible for some 'solid' part of the dialog, like the background or something...

I have not used dialogs in ages but I have a vivid memory of using that method to restart some dialog if esc was pressed...
