Hi, firstly I just wanted to say thank you to the creator of TGUI for making something like this, it's been very easy to use and learn for coding newbies like me.
I am making a turn based battle system for a small game I'm working on. The player takes a turn, then the enemy takes a turn etc. My issue as of late is getting the turns to be "orderly" - and this may be more of a programming question than a specific tgui question. The problem is that the player never gets to take a turn and instead the monster keeps taking turns until the player is dead and the player never gets a chance.
(Sorry for the crap art, I am just playing around with the core game mechanics
)
What I want to accomplish is to have an event that waits for a list box or button press from the user before continuing, and I am at a loss as how to do that with tgui. What is happening is that the event for the player's turn listens for a keypress but proceeds anyway even if it got no input from the user. Is there a function for something of this nature?
Thank you!
If more code is needed for context let me know, I have a full Battle class that this is working with but I didn't want to dump a large mess of code on here, I just am wondering if there is a specific way to achieve this "listener event".

Code Select
bool Battle::TakeTurn(Player player){ //player's turn
int choice = 0;
StatusScreen("It's your turn.", sf::Color::Blue);
tgui::Callback callback;
choice = options->getSelectedItemId();
sf::Event event;
while (!gui.pollCallback(callback)){
switch (choice){
/* 1.Attack //player options
Change CA
3.Item
4.Flee*/
case 1:
StatusScreen("You chose to attack.", sf::Color::Blue);
StatusScreen(PlayerAttack(), sf::Color(222, 222, 222, 255));
playersTurn = false;
return true;
break;
}
}
