Plot Screens

How do you add a plot screen?
Can't see anything in the editor for it.

Add a wall item of type WALLITEM_INFO_SCREEN and then trigger it.

There's an example in the CSB dungeon (the intro movie when you start playing the main dungeon) so it might be worth having a look at that.

Ah I see. I thought it would be a floor item for some reason.
So if I wanted to have a screen with multiple buttons I would achieve this by having bitmaps for the buttons and giving them different offsets to position them (when adding thier graphics)?

I have no idea how to make buttons work either. I tried to add two or three buttons with the result that each of them was drawn in the top left corner on top of each other. Just for trying out things I wanted a button to create an item on the floor - the game crashed. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry for double post, but now I got that the graphic for the button has to have offset. Would it be possible to do the offset in the plot screen menu? That way, you could easily use graphics that already exist for the buttons, like gems for example, without having to incorporate them again.
