Can't use variables with menu names

pikifou

Hi there,

For a 3D adventure game prototype, we have a large scene where the player navigates and can click at different objects to have a close up.

For each close up, we display :

- a few contextual informations in a menu (in 3D space)

- a back button

---

I wanted a generic back button for all close ups.

I have a variable containing the name of the current close up menu (CurrentMenu, aka [var:0]), and I wanted that when you click on the back button, the menu called [var:0] get closed.

In short :

Unfortunately, I got an error saying : "Could not find menu of name '[var:0]'"

Question

Can it be used that way or am I messing something up ?

Tokens don't work in that field.  However, AC has a parameter system that allows you to "genericise" any Action you like, which is much more powerful than just replacing variables.

This tutorial should explain them for you, as does the Manual's section 5.12.
