SOLVED Show message control with a gamepad

[dcx]

Hi,

I only want to show a message and pause the game as the command show_message does. But my game will be played with a controller and i don't find a way to "click" on OK to remove the show message. Maybe it's not possible. There is a simple way to show a message and wait a button to be pressed?

For exemple, a rock paper scissors games, show the winner, then continue.

if(global.choiceP1 == 1) && (global.choiceP2 == 1){
    switch wait_script() {
      case 1: wait = 60; break
      case 2: global.choiceP2=0;
    global.choiceP1=0;
    show_message("Equality");
    global.animationP2=99;
    global.animationP1=99;
    global.game=1;
    state_code = 0;
    break
    }
}

You'll have to move away from show_message(). I'd recommend doing so even without any gamepad support because the function isn't exactly appealing or professional.

As said above, show_message is not a very good solution. You should really have your own dialog, pause the game yourself, etc... Then, it is easy enough to have the gamepad control the continuing. Now is a good time to go ahead and learn about pausing the game, etc... anyway as you may/will need that for other situations, like a pause menu, etc...

I know for show message, it's only for me and friends. I saw some tutorial for pause and dialog, but i was thinking there maybe is a fastest/simpler way to do it.

Ok, i use a kind of pause to show my message in a sprite. It's simple and it work for me.
