Changing the Visibility of an object

I'm having problems changing the visibility of an object while in a preview. When clicking on the menu bar, the bar changes the boolean attribute "showMenu" to true. The buttons for my menu have a rule so when showMenu is true, they call "self.Graphics.Visible" to true.

But nothing happens. Hellllllpppps :D

    the self. graphics .visible attribute cant be changed in game

    what you want to be doing is changing self. color. alpha to 0 to make it invisible, and change it to 1 to make it visible

    cheers

    the visible attribute cannot be changed in game.

    You will have to use Alpha and leave visible checked if you want to ever see it.

    Edit: one for you johnny boy. ;)

    I *think* you can't use rules with the visible attribute, and instead have to use the actors alpha. I might be wrong, but if you instead call 'self.graphics.alpha' to = 1 on the buttons (and have them set to 0 previously) then that should show them in the same way.

    The problem with changing the Alpha, is that you can still click on the object even if you can't see it. I guess I'll have to go with spawning the object when the menu is clicked.

    make it unclickable when alpha = 0 :)

    Hmm, didn't know that was an option. how would you do that?

    (Edit: Ahhh duh, in a rule.)

    whatever behaviros or whatver you want to do when its clicked(but only when the alpha is 1)

    put them in a rule that is when touch is pressed AND when attribute self color alpha =1

    make sure its when all conditions are valid
