Next and Back buttons

Warlock

Hi guys,

I'm jamming hard on my first project. I'm working on an interactive book. I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to code a next and back button so people can turn pages. Any help is greatly appreciated. I hope to load some example pages soon:)

First, each "page" would need to be on a different scene. Create 2 actors, one for each button. Add the following logic in both.

`
Rule: When touch is pressed
--Change Scene to Scene.????
`
The Change Scene behavior gives you the following options I believe:
-Initial Scene
-Next
-Previous
-----------
-List of specific scenes by name.

I made a 16 page book with 16 images.

I have 3 actors.

Images
Forward
Backward

-----------------
Images:

If game.page = 0
change image to 0.png

otherwise
...
if game.page = 16
change image to 16.png

-----------------
Forward:
alpha = 0

if game.page < 16
change attribute self.color.alpha to 1
Actor receives touch pressed
change attribute game.page to game.page+1

otherwise

if attribute game.page = 16
change attribute self.color.alpha to 0

The back button the same, just into the other direction.

Hmm, that's different (read: better) than my first inclination...

Welcome back hunn?

Thx :-)
Still not really wanting back :-)

I just wanted to help, because it is simple and I already did it, so I thought, I don't let the poor man in the dark. :-)

It is not good for big books (many images) because you have to nest everything into eachother and with 16 pages it was already a horror :-)

Don't use it for too many pages.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. I'll post some pics of the pages soon:)
