GUI Help.

[MrPickle]

Is there a retail GUI tutorial anywhere?

How would i do something like this:

Code: [Select]

function guiHello(%arg){
guiHello.settext(//Get this to equal...)
}

function blahHello(%arg){
//something something ... This
}
guiHello = Name of the test thingy in the gui.
%arg = any arguments needed.

Help please.

Well, there are a few things to know. First, make a GUI using the Blockland Editor then F10. Save it to something, then open some script with a GUI (A good thing to use is Ephi's Macro Saver), then copy the first bit to get how to assign keys, open GUIs with keys, etc. Then make a function and do something like this to set text in a label/textbox if the object is named Example: Example.setvalue("Whatever");. Notice the lack of a %. For buttons, I think it's Example.settext("Whatever");.

Yeah, i got my gui and everything, i kinda taught myself roughly by looking at Space Guys bot gui. Im using MlText i think thats what its called, Space guy used objectname.settext(%client.mybot.name) but %client.mybot.name i dont see where it sets mybot.name thats what i mean.

As far as I know, the GUI is broken and will not work for anyone but the host.

If you are trying to set the text on a GUI remotely:

Add-Ons/Client/GUIHello_client.cs

Code: [Select]

function clientcmdGUIset(%obj,%text)
{
 %obj.setText(%text);
}

function guiHello::onWake(%this)
{
 commandtoserver('updateHelloGUI');
}
Add-Ons/Hello.cs

Code: [Select]

function servercmdupdatehelloGUI(%client)
{
 commandtoclient(%client,'GUIset',txtHello,"Hello " @ %client.name);
}
... Where guiHello is created by you with one control, "txtHello" as a MLTextCtrl.
