It's a fairly simple If-statement you need - you're halfway there already. If I understand you correctly, you need to change:



to



and delete

from your View() function.

The reason you ran into difficulty is because the show_menu variable in your code is different to the show_menu in your view function - the second one is a local variable, that is created by the function and doesn't really exist outside it.

To get your original code working, you could just declare show_menu as a global variable at the top of your code, and you should be able to switch the menu on and off.

Oh, and one other thing - I'm not sure how clear camera view works (I'm a DBC user, don't really do much in DBPro) but if all it does ismake the screen go black, a better method for your view function would be:



The Do-Loop just allows you to draw your menu, paste images, whatever - this might be better, because as your code stands now, your game still runs in the background and the menu is displayed over these movements!

Hope this helps!
