Start Menu troubles

[Norton]

Hey guys, a new problem popped up today when I was working on my game. The start menu (New Game, Continue, Quit) is having some problems. When I go to select "Quit" or "Continue" it just won't. The selection just stays fixed on "New Game"

Anyone have an idea why this might be happening?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hm. This seems odd. But I would like to ask a few questions. First are you talking about when you test play the game, you can't move to the other options? Or is it that when you move to them and press enter, nothing happens? Are any of the words faded? If they are, then something has caused it and needs to be worked on. The continue is normally always faded, when test playing, cause you have no saves to play from. If you have a save to play from, then it shouldn't be faded. Secondly are you using any scripts that would conflict with this? If you don't know, maybe list the Script name's you are useing and I could tell you. Sorry if I didn't help. Note that it maybe somehow the orginal script that is the Start Menu could be messed up. If so, I could fix it.

Yea, the selection will not move from 'New Game'. I suspect it has something to do with the order of my scripts, as I just moved them around to correct a completely different problem. However, Im at work right now so Ill have to post a list of the scripts Im using when I get home.

In the Scene_Titlescreen there is lines of code saying something like:

s1: new_game
s2: continue
s3: shutdown

These three marks how many buttons there is in the TITLE SCREEN.

command_new_game

[text]

command_continue

[text]

command_shutdown

[text]


According to me, the 'command_continue' and 'command_shutdown' have the SAME conditions and codes as the 'command_new_game'. Look if these three comands are the same. If they are you may ask someone to change the other two! If there are different codes ine ach command, try to add more s-buttons (s2, s3). Maybe you have deleted s2 (continue) and s3 (shutdown) by mistake and left only New Game (s1) there. Anyway check the Scene_Title script.

Here is the original scene_title script:
