Author Topic: Advanced GUI tutorial?  (Read 1602 times)

I looked at Jes00's basic GUI editor but I want to learn more, specifically how to add elements to the GUI easily, and programmatically.

The best way to learn something with Programming/Designing is trial and error. Just practice by making other things.

Better is to take an existing gui and made some edits to it to try to understand how it works until you feel like you could recreate most of it on your own if you wanted.

If you've worked with guis some time, you know which controls exist here and which don't. The t3d editor is way better.

Open any .gui file. It's TorqueScript.

Some controls will not work but over all the quality of T3D official is much higher that the blockland one

In other words GUI's are phrased not compiled. You can open one up in notepad and view/add/delete/edit its elements.
