so I'm trying to make a prestige mechanic but I need to be able to open the UI this is the code I have
if b.id == "6" and mouse.press then
screen.drawSprite("prestige", 0, 0, 48, 32)
end
What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to have that button and then, when you press it, open a menu?
Well, what I would do is create an object that contains all the menu information, and it should have three functions:
init: This will be used to set the initial values when opening the menu (including resetting values) and this function also serves to indicate that this is the current menu in useupdate: It covers all the actions the menu will perform when in use, such as detecting button clicks, etcdraw: This will be used to specify everything you want the menu to display, the buttons, etcAnd you will also need to create the variable menu which you will use to indicate which menu is currently in use (which is a global variable)
menu = false
MenuTest = object
init = function()
// This changes the "menu" variable, which is above, to the "MenuTest" object
global.menu = this
end
update = function()
end
draw = function()
end
end
While in your initial update and draw functions you should place the following:
update = function()
if menu then menu.update() end
end
draw = function()
screen.clear()
if menu then menu.draw() end
end
Now, when you want to set up a menu, you simply need to call the init function of the menu you want, I mean:
MenuTest.init()
To remove the menu, simply do the following:
menu = false
Now, you just need to put what you want the menu to do when it's used in its update and what you want to be drawn in its draw. Here's a script to help you understand better; you can activate and deactivate the menu using the M key:
MenuTest = object
coins = 0
size = 0
init = function()
global.menu = this
size = 0
end
update = function()
if mouse.press then
coins += 1
size = 4
end
size *= 0.94
end
draw = function()
local s = 10+size
screen.drawText("Click on the screen to receive coins!",0,0,s,"rgb(255,255,255)")
screen.drawText(coins,0,-10,s,"rgb(255,255,255)")
end
end
init = function()
menu = false
end
update = function()
if keyboard.press.M then
if menu then
menu = false
else
MenuTest.init()
end
end
if menu then menu.update() end
end
draw = function()
screen.clear()
if menu then menu.draw() end
end
Now, if you want to have multiple menus, you could do the same, only instead of using a variable, you could use an array, in which all the menus being used will go, and with a for loop check each menu and use its update and draw from each one
init = function()

Oh, there's a very simple method you can use. For example, create a variable for your mode and define what we draw if we're not in that mode. I'll give you an example.
init = function()
stade = ""
color = "rgb(0,170,255)"
color2 = "rgb(0,98,147)"
end
update = function()
if keyboard.press.A then
stade = "prestige_mode"
elsif keyboard.press.B then
stade = "main"
end
if stade == "prestige_mode" then
color = "rgb(0,255,85)"
color2 = "rgb(0,147,49)"
elsif stade == "main" then
color = "rgb(0,170,255)"
color2 = "rgb(0,98,147)"
end
end
draw = function()
screen.clear(color)
local text = ""
if stade == "prestige_mode" then
text = "we are in the prestige mode"
elsif stade == "main" then
text = "we are in the main"
else
text = "I don't know where we are"
end
screen.drawText(text,0,0,12,color2)
end
Arch_1 yes, it can work too; you just need to create the Menu object in another file, and then at the end of the update and draw functions do the following:
update = function()
// The other things...
if menu then menu.update() end
end
draw = function()
// The other things...
if menu then menu.draw() end
end
And the variable menu (withlowercase) must be false
When you want to activate the menu you just use Menu.init(), keeping in mind that Menu is the object that will hold the menu information, that I mentioned earlier
for some strange reason instead of it working every tick when I update the folder it changes the screen its very strange because the update function is in there it just only regesters when I update the code
the rest of the system works I just need it to regester it instantly instead of me manually updating the code slightly for it to regester
