Showing and hiding my GUI

[varomix WEY]

Hey guys I need your help

I'm making this little game that will start a tutorial series, I have everything done I'm just having trouble showing the options menu I made.

So I made a separate class for the Options menu, is a FlxTypeGroup<FlxSprite>

in there it handles the Restart, quit and closing the menu,

then I create an instance of it in the PlayState and add it, it's starting visible to test for now, the issue comes when I try to show the options menu from the PlayState after I close it the first time I can't figure out how to actually show it again, right now I'm hiding it by doing

visible = false;
active= false;

but I don't have access to those attributes from the PlayState.

what can I do?

thanks

Ok I solved it

I was trying to call the function from a Static function and that wasn't working

that static thing still gets me, need to really understand all those "modes" or whatever they are called.

Maybe you can use FlxSubstate instead of a FlxSprite? Take a look at this thread:

The SubState demo of Gama11 is pretty straightforward!

oh my god that's way better, did not know about the substate
