Creating a pop-Up Menu

[Robin]

Note that this will freeze the entire game, so it is highly recommended not to use it.

It's not too hard to make your own popup menu.

It's fine on the server, but the client will freeze.

Addon onto the tutorial
If you say it freezes your game you could always make a picture box and set it with visible = false. Then in the form_keypress and such add the code to make it visible and set the x and y for the picture box to show up were you pressed. Very easy, and also remember to add a code when you press on another place on the screen to make it visible = false.

Why will it freeze client side Maybe that is just an issue you have?

Never tried so I dunno, but I guess it will freeze the blitting as .show does.

[Robin]

Magnus, there is no way in hell that having the game screen freeze when a command like that is called is simply "and issue I have".

It's the same if you use just a normal menu and if you call a form using .show or use the arrow buttons to scroll a textbox.

It's just something that happens.

I'm sure there's another way to stop the game screen from freezing when you use a menu.

Dont mean to necro post not quite sure where u mean to use this menu... but if your talking about a pop-up menu in game why not make a picture box visibility = false and vbkey that tells the game to check if the menu is already up if not then to bring it up if it is to close it? it wouldnt freeze the game while your playing and wala you can have a menu for options and to exit the game with.
