[Tutorial] Creating A GUI [Updated 4/1/2012]

[jes00]

i made one cant get it to open in game but i can assign a button to it heres client.cs

Code: [Select]

exec("./Test.gui");

    $remapDivision[$remapCount] = "Custom made GUI's";
    $remapName[$remapCount] = "Test GUI";
    $remapCmd[$remapCount] = "Open_Test";
    $remapCount++;

function TestButtonPush()
{
talk(hi);
}

Don't forget to create the function to open it.

Code: [Select]

function Open_Test(%toggle)
{
if(%toggle)
{
if(YOURGUINAMEGui.isAwake())
{
canvas.popDialog(YOURGUINAMEGui);
}

else
{
canvas.pushDialog(YOURGUINAMEGui);
}
}
}

Those errors are in Test.gui - there are missing '}'s. Remember, for every '{' there will be a closing '}'

And blockland runs on Torque Script.

You need a ; after the closing brackets in a GUI's code.

What is the function that is called when the value of a slider control changes? I know that you can set the command on the slider and that will be called when you let the mouse go on the control, but that doesn't account for sliding when the mouse is held down.

Tried dump(); and trace(1); but if there is a function for it I cannot find it.

Ok Ipquarx, while I was making a GUI I found that for the slider control the function in the alt command box is called whenever the slider is changed; it is not called when you let go, but when you click it or drag it the function is called.

Bump.
