Okay, here's what I'd like to do, if at all possible:

- I want to make it that when you press the escape key, my game does not close.
- I want to make it so that if I press the escape key on the story part of the main menu, it will show the main menu.

To do this, I used Disable EscapeKey. Then, when you're on the story section of the main menu I inserted the following code:

If EscapeKey() = 1 Then MenuState = 2 (Takes you back the main menu)

But, it seems that disable escape key also makes it that DBP won't even check input from the escape key.

So here's the question. How can I make it so that if you press escape it DOES NOT close the program, rather it does only what I tell it to do? Thanks

Strange, Escapekey() still works for me when I use Disable Escapekey.

Try using:

If keystate(1) = 1 then MenuState = 2

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.
Unless your name is Bob Ross, then you can do it in thirty minutes.

yup the keystate 1 should work. I found under win 98 Disable Escape key ignores it completely, whilst in xp it works fine

Coming Soon! Kangaroo2 Studio... wait and quiver with anticipation! lol

What did you figure out? (I follow most threads like these, whilst not using or implimenting them as of such yet, I like to see the answer, thinking, logic etc).

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
