Hiding gui
 

Ok here's the thing. This gui is scripted just fine, but if you try lowering the timeout or having something that disrypts tiomeout loops go, the gui either flashes or hides. There is nothing in it telling it to hide, so why does it? Please look over it. Note that it works fine if nothing disrupts the timeout loop, which says that the gui hides if it isnt constantly told to show for some reason.

I don't see problems in the concent, but in the implementation:
Bad is the usage of

screenheight-=1

That will cause problems for the compiler, I guess you meant "screenheight - 1" ?
The "triggeraction 0,0,serverside,-GUI;" should be moved outside the timeout so
that it doesn't lag the game, e.g. if (playerenters) triggeraction 0,0,serverside,-GUI;

thx i will try both of those real quick
EDIT:didnt work, updated script

il try that now i geuss....

EDIT: that didnt work either, updating code real quick

Advice 1: Do not listen to clueless UN managers
Advice 2: Strip your code to the bare essentials before posting it. Nobody wants to scan through pages of unrelated lines.
Advice 3: Don't just set the alpha to 0 in order to hide something.

I suggest since a lot of your changeimgzooms and changeimgvis's are alike, use a for () { to make them do that. another suggestion is put all your showtexts in 1 spot so it's easier to read.

Amen to Kai's Advice 1.

1. *****
2. I have no idea whats causing the problem so it culd be anywhere
3. make me!

Edit: I would use a for loop but i dont feel like changing around a bunch of numbers to do that, i didnt make all of this script and dont want to change a bunch of things.

So gradually cut stuff out and see if the problem persists.

It doesn't work. Wouldn't that mean you have to change a bunch of things?

no, it doesnt.....

Ive noticed that sometimes showimgs on layer 4 (and possibly up, not sure) will hide when playerhearts is changed by something such as a bed.

i dont use playerhearts at all.......

You request help but you ignore the advice and suggestions of those who contribute? You are fortunate that I am no longer a moderator here.

i tried several of the things suggested, waht r u talking about? i just dont want to bother putting it in a for loop is all, that's one thing! You really should read all posts before spewing such false info.

Maybe this will end the thread.

Anyone else notice that one of his indexes (8675309) is a song? A bad one if I may add...
