My text isn't showing

[SpaceKill]

So I'm trying to do a game-over screen but my buttons aren't visible but they're working
Here's the code
Creation code:
menu_x = x;
menu_y = y;
button_h = 32;
button[0] = "Yes"
button[1] = "Do not"
buttons = array_length_1d(button);
menu_index = 0
last_selected = 0;
Step event:
menu_move = keyboard_check_pressed(vk_left) - keyboard_check_pressed(vk_right);

menu_index += menu_move;

if (menu_index < 0) menu_index = buttons - 1;
if (menu_index > buttons -1) menu_index = 0;
if (menu_index != last_selected) audio_play_sound(Menu_Scroll,1,false);
last_selected = menu_index;

Draw event:
var i = 0;
draw_set_font(GameOver)
draw_set_halign(fa_middle)
draw_set_color(c_white)

repeat(buttons) {
draw_set_color(c_white);
if (menu_index== i) draw_set_color (c_red);
draw_text (menu_x, menu_y + button_h * i, button);
i++;
}

Key press:
switch (menu_index) {
case 0:
room_goto(room3)
break;
case 1:
room_goto(room1)
break;
}

should the line

draw_text (menu_x, menu_y + button_h * i, button);

not be accessing an array for the final parameter

button[0] = "Yes"
button[1] = "Do not"

eg.

draw_text (menu_x, menu_y + button_h * i, button[0]);

draw_text (menu_x, menu_y + button_h * i, button);

button[0] = "Yes"
button[1] = "Do not"

eg.

draw_text (menu_x, menu_y + button_h * i, button[0]);

I changed the code and the same thing happens
Maybe my sistem isn't good at all?
Do you have a tutorial suggestion I could watch to make a gameover screen ?

He did. His actual code is

draw_text (menu_x, menu_y + button_h * i, button[i]);

[ i ] is the italics BBCode.

When you say "buttons" do you mean just the text, or do you have button sprites which are supposed to be under the text as well?

Is the instance this code is in marked as visible?

It's just text

It's just text

Is the object marked visible?

Is the object marked visible?

Yes but I solved it anyway.
I just rewrote all the code and it seems to be working now lmao.
Thanks tho I really apreciated the help.
But there's another problem.
I get 2 Yes and 2 Do not buttons
How do I solve this ?

 

[SpaceKill]

Ok I solved that too but how do I make the text go from left to right instead of up and down ?
And how do I make a sprite appear when i have a button selected.
Like the heart in Undertale when you have a piece of dialogue or a choice selected

It's going up and down because you set them to

menu_x, menu_y + button_h * i

You'd need to make it menu_x+button_w*i, menu_y

If i undertsand the last part, you just place the icon at

menu_x+button_w*menu_index-16, menu_y

Replace the 16 with the width of your icon, roughly.
