Why does my GUI only open up while I'm in-game?

[theviacom]

I haven't been able to get my GUI to load when pressing X on my keyboard in-game.  I copied and pasted everything from AGlass0fMilk's tutorial, modifying GUI elements for the GUI I want to make.

What went wrong?

I would like to mention that when I use the function for opening up GUI from Jes00's tutorial, the GUI only works in-game.

So it turns out that the issue was capitalization.  Everything's good now.

So here's a different question: Why does my GUI only open up while I'm in-game?

I told you yesterday about this. It's because you need to bind it to the global map.

Code: [Select]

GlobalActionMap.bind(keyboard, "x", pushTestgui);
Keep in mind that you need to make sure that you don't override someone else global bind.

Also, please don't change the topic title due to a new question. Instead, create a new thread and lock the old one.

No. You shouldn't ever lock a thread here.

That's the fault of my misunderstanding.  Thank you for the reminder.

Based Zeblote.

Please do not confuse him, I told him the other day to never lock any mod help topics (unless it was a mistake posting)

People may have something important to say but cannot say anything if the topic is locked.

Sure, I was unaware of the unlisted rules, and will adjust me accordingly.

But changing the topic name for a new question is still a bad thing, right?

yeah definitely
