Buttons on GUI

[cclloyd9785]

I have a custom chest block right now and want to either

 

Add buttons to the container GUI or

 

Add a single button that adds another gui overlay with more buttons and stuff.

 

But I ran into a couple issues, one of them being I don't know how to make GuiButton align correctly relative to the GUI.  It seems to use an absolute value for some reason and 2:  I don't know where to start to make a GuiScreen overlay for the deeper gui page.

 

Can anyone help?

1. Use scaled x/y

In GuiScreen it's this.width  this.height

You can get it on your own:

scaledresolution.getScaledHeight();  (ScaledResolution.class)

 

2. "overlay for the deeper gui page." What you mean?

 

Post code.

So, you want to click a button that displays another gui over the current open one with more buttons? I do this on my shop by setting a certain boolean to true when clicking the button and, if it's true: drawing another texture over the gui and enabling the buttons. Not sure if this is what you want to do but, I thought I might mention it.

Well if I can actually use a scaled resolution it will be in a GuiContainer.  But how would I go about getting scaled resolution for that?  Say the size of the background image is 176x184 (WxH)
