Main()

How do I add the option of returning to the main menu in the game? [import]uid: 128294 topic_id: 22824 reply_id: 322824[/import]

[code]

–add a button

local function backToMenu()
scene:changeScene(“menu”)

return true
end

–add a listener to your button
button:addEventListener(“tap”, backToMenu) [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 22824 reply_id: 91163[/import]

Main()

However, doesn’t work, it shows the level and nothing happens.

Ooops. I assumed your using storyboard ?

If not what are you using (if any) [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 22824 reply_id: 91171[/import]

#5

@Danny

Forgot to tell you this is off of the main.lua file. So currently not using storyboard. Is there a solution to this problem without using it. [import]uid: 128294 topic_id: 22824 reply_id: 91173[/import]

#6

just a recommendation but if you plan on having multiple levels it would be a good idea to use storyboard or director, sure makes everything much easier and cleaner.
On another note if you want to have the levels and main menu in the same file then switching between them can be done in multiple ways, one suggestion would be to create a display group for that level and remove it along with any listeners and timers not associated with that group, put the whole level in a function and do the same with the main menu, then just remove everything in main menu then call level function and vice versa. But like i said i would highly recommend using storyboard or director. [import]uid: 126161 topic_id: 22824 reply_id: 91181[/import]

How is that done? [import]uid: 128294 topic_id: 22824 reply_id: 99939[/import]
