I was just making a test GUI and trying some things out...

[tkepahama]

I wanted to make a GUI for my server, so now I made a test GUI. (I kind of followed jes' tutorial)
And now it pops up an error when I execute it and it pulls the GUI up on the whole screen when I open it.  I did follow the whole tutorial.

The error that shows in the console when I execute it:

Error: cannot change namespace parent linkage for Testgui from GuiControl to GuiWindowCtrl.

*EDIT: And it also makes new testGUI's in the GUI Editor when I go through the GUINAME - NUMBER list.

Code: [Select]

//--- OBJECT WRITE BEGIN ---
new GuiControl(Testgui) {
   profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
   horizSizing = "right";
   vertSizing = "bottom";
   position = "0 0";
   extent = "640 480";
   minExtent = "8 2";
   enabled = "1";
   visible = "1";
   clipToParent = "1";

   new GuiWindowCtrl(Testgui) {
      profile = "GuiWindowProfile";
      horizSizing = "right";
      vertSizing = "bottom";
      position = "138 139";
      extent = "257 200";
      minExtent = "8 2";
      enabled = "1";
      visible = "1";
      clipToParent = "1";
      command = "canvas.popDialog(TestGUI);";
      accelerator = "escape";
      text = "Test";
      maxLength = "255";
      resizeWidth = "1";
      resizeHeight = "1";
      canMove = "1";
      canClose = "1";
      canMinimize = "1";
      canMaximize = "1";
      minSize = "50 50";
      closeCommand = "canvas.popDialog(TestGUI);";

      new GuiBitmapButtonCtrl() {
         profile = "BlockButtonProfile";
         horizSizing = "right";
         vertSizing = "bottom";
         position = "52 112";
         extent = "140 30";
         minExtent = "8 2";
         enabled = "1";
         visible = "1";
         clipToParent = "1";
         command = "TestGUIButtonPush()";
         text = "Button";
         groupNum = "-1";
         buttonType = "PushButton";
         bitmap = "base/client/ui/button2";
         lockAspectRatio = "0";
         alignLeft = "0";
         alignTop = "0";
         overflowImage = "0";
         mKeepCached = "0";
         mColor = "255 255 255 255";
      };
   };
};
//--- OBJECT WRITE END ---

function Open_TestGUI(%toggle)
{
	if(%toggle)
	{
		if(TestGui.isAwake())
		{
			canvas.popDialog(TestGui);
		}

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

you used the same name for the guicontrol as you did for the window. use different names.

Ok, it works now.  Thanks.

*EDIT: I was messing with the button, and made a function for it when it's pushed (like in the tutorial), and it shows and error in the console when I click the button but I see no syntax errors in the function unless I'm doing something wrong which is a possibility since this is my first time making a GUI and stuff.

Code: [Select]

function TestGUIButtonPush(%client) //this is the function the button calls when pushed
{
	announce("\c4"@%client.name@" \c3has pushed the button!");
}

[Ipquarx]

the announce function won't work and will display an error unless you're the host.
and also, pressing the button doesn't pass any arguments to the function, aka %client is never set to a value.

I am the host.
And how do I make it show a message when the button is pushed such as, "[namehere] has pushed the button!"?

[Ipquarx]

You need to have the button activate a server command, and that command would do the announcement.

so for example, in the client code

Code: [Select]

function TestGUIButtonPush()
{
	commandToServer('announcemyname');
}

and in the server code:

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdAnnounceMyName(%Client)
{
	announce("\c3" @ %Client.name SPC "\c6Has pressed the button!");
}

Oh I see, thanks.
*EDIT: Still shows a syntax error. :/

[Ipquarx]

can I see the error message please?

[tkepahama]

can I see the error message please?

When I push the button it just says in console, Syntax error input.

[Ipquarx]

oh, okay.
in the gui code, line 46, replace TestGUIButtonPush() with TestGUIButtonPush();
