how do you make a gui change from one thing to another?
for instencice for it to say "Power faliure" then when you turn on the power it says "Teleporter ready"

either use a target setkeyval to change the models gui or hid and unhide static meshes or the tried and true method script it though target setkeyval seems to be the easiest to me

could you explaine the last one better?

This is also done with gui coding. If you can't make one from scratch, I would look for an existing gui that is in the game that is close to what you want, then just change the code and resave it using a new name. The text is easy to spot in the code, it will be labeled "text" or "#str", so you just edit those to your new text.

Thanks
:D

create a target set keyval
target the model or mesh with the gui

example keyval


keyval
gui;guis/screens/cpu_marsmap4.gui

you tell it what parameter with the first part
gui
the net ; tells it here comes the meat and potatoes
the value is told with
guis/screens/cpu_marsmap4.gui

if you needed it to change back and forth create another target_setkeyval with the second gui you want

for instance on my func_plat in my level i add a gui screen and use the marquee gui and simply change the text from level 1 to level two with two such target_setkeyval's

one says
gui_parm1;level1

the other
gui_parm1;level2

etc.... you can change just about any parameter on the fly this way without scripting but scripting may be faster depending on what you want and how good you are at scripting
