Hi, I'm new in programming and I've recently discovered solarus, I've seen all Cristopho's tutorials so I started to make my own game, since Cristopho doesn't explain how to make a pause menú (only how to save with dialogs) I decided to make my own pause menu, but i lack the knowledge to do it, so i made a simple one that doesn't require to code a menu, only using the alttp dialog box system the pack already has, this is the code.
-- Event called when the game pauses
function game:on_paused()
game:start_dialog("pause.menu.question",function(answer) -- Opens the "menu"
if answer == 1 then -- Items
if game:has_item("boomerang") == true then -- Checks if you have an item
game:start_dialog("pause.menu.items.1",function(answer) -- Shows item
if answer == 1 then
game:set_item_assigned(1,game:get_item("boomerang")) -- Assigns selected item to Slot 1
sol.audio.play_sound("danger")
game:set_paused(false)
end
end)
else -- If you don't have items at all
game:start_dialog("pause.menu.items.no_items")
game:set_paused(false)
end
end
if answer == 2 then -- Save and continue
game:save()
sol.audio.play_sound("danger")
game:set_paused(false)
end
if answer == 3 then -- Save and Quit (Closes the game)
sol.audio.play_sound("danger")
game:save()
sol.main.exit()
end
if answer == 4 then -- Continue
sol.audio.play_sound("danger")
game:set_paused(false)
end
end)
endIf you want to copy it, paste it on the game_manager.lua script, under game:start() , add some dialog on your languages folder using the $? thing to make selectable text and thats it.
The only thing is that you must have to collect the equipment in order, and add a new dialog with all previous ítems + the new one, also do a new if-else over the already writen code, but at least you now have your pause menu.
