VCE Value Input GUI

[SWAT One]

So ever so often, we may be limited to repeatedly clicking something over and over again to store variables on VCE.  I was thinking of a way to make this easier and came up with a way so that values could be entered once.  When this event is called, it puts up a handy little GUI that displays the var that is being affected and a handy little text area so you may type in a value (numerical or non-numerical, depending on the event.)

For instance, If I wanted to store 17 Gold in the bank, the events on the bank brick would go:

OnActivate>>Client>>CenterPrint[You have chosen: Deposit]

OnActivate>>Self>>VCEPromptNumeric>>(Drop down menu for Client, Player, Self or Named Brick)[Gold][minValue] [maxValue]*

OnVCEPromptNumeric>>"BankBrick">>VCEModVariable [Gold] Add [17]

OnVCEPromptNumeric>>Player>>VCEModVariable>>[Gold] Subtract [17]


* At this time, the player typed in the amount (17) and clicked the "Send" button to select his deposit amount.

As you can see this could have a variety of applications.

onActivate>>Self>>VCE_ModVariable [Gold] [+=] [<var:cl:lastmsg>]

Then when you have people using that, then your chat gets flooded up.  The point is to make this cleaner.

Hey, I actually like this idea.
It would make it very useful to use. Chat spam be gone :D

This would either need to have a client sided mod for the GUI or it would need to be downloaded through RTB (which limits what the GUI can have greatly).

I think Chrono made something like this.
Yup, here's the link:

That's only a display.

bump. Don't let this die.  I'd like to know what kind of features you'd like to see in this.

Did I go unheeded?

why not just make 12 variable links show up, 0-9, each time it multiplies the counter variable by 10 and adds the ones digit, then a button for clearing a digit, or entering the number

That's a matter of 30 event lines to 3.

it'd take you 30? seems like a bit much to me
and i don't see any reason for the lazyness here, once it's evented once you can just save the events and reuse it later, on any server with variables
