Author Topic: Message Box (Options)  (Read 1737 times)

That's good and all, but I don't know what any of that is nor do I even know how to begin to use that.

Also, is it usable via eventing? Cause that's where I was aiming toward...

Yes it is.

That's cool, but I still don't understand how to use it. The description says what it does, not how to use it..
Do I use that code in the console while in my server?(Didn't work)
Where do I even use that code?
Will it stay there after I re-set the server, or do I have to re-enter it every time I make a server?
When entered, do I have to edit its options through the Console, or will it work through events?
When entered, new events just..show up?
I don't get it.

I have RTB, and Ive never heard of that feature...

Well, okay. Someone should just make this in an easy use, event form.

If I cant pick it up and use it, its not worth the effort...


No it isn't.

The Yes or No Prompts are possible, I wouldn't see why a prompt like this isn't.

Hes talking about the RTB GUI Downloading being event controlled, not that my idea isn't possible.

Where do I even use that code?
In a new server.cs folder

This will only be possible in RTB4, which should (hopefully) add support for the server modifying a GUI on-the-go.

I don't trust you even know what you just said...

Plus, from what I read in the linked description, the RTB feature is NOT what I'm looking for.

It sounds like you're looking for events that generate a message box.

As to how to make the GUI, there's a tut for that: http://forum.returntoblockland.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3821

I'd really recommend taking the time to learn the RTB feature- VCE is one thing, but what you're suggesting would use a ton of datablocks.  Everybody that connects to your server would have to load all of the addons with those events.

Yea, its a cool feature.. But Id like it to be event controlled and visible to others...

Otherwise, its just a cool feature.

Huh?

It's really simple ...

1) Make gui
2) Add to RTB GUI Downloader
3) Make event to open RTB guis

There's no magic way to give GUIs to people, either you get users with RTB to download it automatically or you just hope they can be bothered to click a link, save a file to their add-ons folder and then restart the game and rejoin your server.

That is, if you want to use a GUI.
A message box isn't necessary, nor is a new event.

All you have  to do is utilize Varlinks in VCE to spew out the 4 options and the outcomes of clicking on each varlink.

It's not going to work. He wants an event that can have custom options.
