I have been trying to work on making a menu but it wouldn't/barely work.

How it's meant to work:
- Buttons can be moved by mouse movement.
- Navigated by using the up and down keys.
- Buttons can be selected using the z or space key.
- Players would be asked to select a file before playing. (Depending on how far you went in the game, the menu would change its look.)
- When a button is clicked (for example: the “play” and “other” buttons), the menu would move itself into new areas. ( or )
- The transitions must be smooth.

How the project is working:
- Problems with the Save Slots.
- Even when the data is erased, the slots would have data anyways.
- Background may/may not even appear.
- When pressing a button, it would give the player the wrong menu.

Controls:
to navigate through the menu.
to reset Save Slot data.
to select a button.

Controls:
WASD or Up/Down/Left/Right to navigate through the menu.
E and then green flag click to reset Save Slot data.
Z or Space to select a button.

This is a lot to ask for. I think you would have more success over in the Collaborations and/or the Requests forums. I will try and help where I can though.

Once a button is pressed, it is highly recommended you use

stop [This script]
stop [Other scripts in sprite]

This will make sure that nothing will happen after a button is pressed and thereby move to the next sprite/script

I don't have time right now to look at your scripts but I do have a menu system project that might help you here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/294649534/

I seem to have fixed the issues, however I couldn't add the “buttons can be moved by mouse movement” and the “players would be asked to select a file before playing. (depending on how far you went in the game, the menu would change its look.)” feature. If you are able to add these features, please let me know.
