Ever wanted it so that if you pressed a certain button like signleplayer on your main menu then something would happen on your scenario? Now you can!

Using the trigger gadget visible, this allows events to happen on the main menu map when you can see a certain gadget like a certain main menu button.

To use, put in the condition "Gadget Visible" and put the name of the gadget.

Example, put on your menu the following trigger with the condition:
Gadget visible:OnlineButton
Effect: set lighting - night

Save the map and load it on the menu. When you press the menu button,it will change the lighting of the main menu!

For those who want to try this, open up uipregamenew.xml if you have it and look for:<Gadget name "name here" ... That is where the name of the gadget is and if the gadget with that name becomes visible then the effect will happen. This allows people to make menus like the age of empires III menu.

Do you think you could make it like the AoEIII one nottud, but at the bottom instead of the side?

Can you make a list of of different "gadgets" on the main menu? Or are they all just "OnlineButton", "LoadscenarioButton",
PlaycampaignButton", etc.?

EDIT: What's the code for the "Tutorial" button?

If you're confused about what this does, download this main menu I made for it, look at the triggers. Basically,it lets you use the "Gadget Visable" condition to check whether a player clicked a button, such as "Singleplayer", or "More" one the main menu by checking to see if a new button, such as "Online", is visable.

Nottud, what's the code for either the "Tutorial", "Norse Cinematic", "Egyptian Cinematic", or "Atlantean Cinematic" buttons in the "Learn to Play" menu?

you prolly havent downloaded his main menu redesign. It puts the bottoms on the bottom of the screen and allows you to load scenarios for your main menu map instead of the standard one with the murmillo, archers, and caladria.

It worked nottud - thanks!

How do you figure out these things, anyways? Is there a list or something?
