Output event trouble[UnSolved]

[KingDavid]

I am having problems with my event. You see I am trying to make a store event that uses a GUI. Maybe this has been done before but I cannot find one, if it works fine I will post it into add-ons. As of right now, I need to be able to complete the tasks.

• Name the window with the output parameters(like the messageBoxDlg)
• Add multiple parameters(sort of like a list)

I know that this code is rather simple, and I look like a noob, but I don't think the clients other that the host can see it.

Code: [Select]

registerOutputEvent(fxDTSBrick,setStore,"string 100 100");

function StoreGui()
{
    canvas.pushDialog(store);
}
function fxDTSBrick::setStore(%this, %arg1, %client)
{
if(%arg1 $= "")
{
return;
}

commandToClient(%client,'StoreGui',%arg1);

}Please list what the changes do.

function StoreGui()
{
    canvas.pushDialog(store);
}

I'm guessing this is supposed to be the client-sided aspect that responds to the commandToClient call.
There's two things wrong with it.

• It's in the server-sided part of the code. Move it to client.cs.
• You need to prefix the name with clientCmd.

Thanks that fixed the problem where it wouldn't send to me, but clients other than the host can't see it. I moved the opening function to the gui. Though I would still like to make the first parameter name the window, sort of like the messageBoxDlg gui.

Code: [Select]

exec("./store.gui");

registerOutputEvent(fxDTSBrick,setStore,"string 100 100");

function fxDTSBrick::setStore(%this, %arg1, %client)
{
if(%arg1 $= "")
{
return;
}

commandToClient(%client,'StoreGui',%arg1);

}
function Store_Content::setTab(%this,%tab)
{
%c = %this.getCount();
for(%i=0;%i<%c;%i++)
{
%obj = %this.getObject(%i);
if(strPos(%obj.getName(),"Store_") > -1)
%obj.setVisible(0);
}
%tab.setVisible(1);
%tab.onTabWake();
}I'm sure the last part has nothing to do with it.

GUIs are client sided. You must give people your client sided add-on in order for them to see it.

[KingDavid]

Doesn't Blockland download the add-on for them, when they join? Anyways, I have been to servers where the host has had custom guis, and I could use them.

[Zeblote]

No. Guis are client sided and people will have to download your add-on to use them.

Anyways, I have been to servers where the host has had custom guis, and I could use them.

That's impossible. Either you forgot you downloaded them, or they used RTB's crappy gui downloading thing (which is crap and gone with RTB), or they re-used those default guis that you can open with a clientcmd

[KingDavid]

Hmm, I guess it could be the RTB thing. Could anyone tell me how to set the text name?

[Zeblote]

...set the text name?

The only files the client downloads are shapes, textures, and sounds. Maybe some others I'm not thinking of
Script files (.cs and .gui) are never downloaded

[Zeblote]

Imagine if it did
the horror

[KingDavid]

...set the text name?

If you've ever used the MessageBoxOK output event, you'd understand, I think it's RTB.

Code: [Select]

registerOutputEvent(gameConnection,MessageBoxOK,"string 100 100\tstring 200 200");

function gameConnection::messageBoxOK(%this, %arg1, %arg2, %client)
{
if(%arg1 $= "" || %arg2 $= "")
{
return;
}

commandToClient(%client,'messageBoxOK',%arg1,%arg2);
}
I know this uses a default gui. The point is, the first string controls the gui's window name(text), and the second one sets the text in the window.

[KingDavid]

Bump.

[Zeblote]

I know this uses a default gui. The point is, the first string controls the gui's window name(text), and the second one sets the text in the window.

That's because there is a clientcmd to do exactly that. You can't just set the name of a gui server sided.

Yeah I realized how silly the questioned seemed. What I was asking for is if someone could give me a start of code.
I think I might have an idea of what to do, from "A great torque functions guide". The thing I was having problems with is making the function.
Client

Code: [Select]

function clientCmdStoreGui(%arg1)
{
GuiWindowCtrl.setText(%arg1 text);

canvas.pushDialog(store);
}Server

Code: [Select]

function fxDTSBrick::setStore(%this, %arg1, %client)
{
if(%arg1 $= "")
{
return;
}

commandToClient(%client,'StoreGui',getText(%arg1));

}

[KingDavid]

Well I have the Naming part done. I realized how dumb I look considering I just need the basic understanding of textctrls, I'll post the code in case anyone looks for a similar problem.
client.cs

Code: [Select]

function clientCmdStoreGui(%arg1)
{
winName.setText(%arg1);

canvas.pushDialog(store);
}server.cs

Code: [Select]

registerOutputEvent(fxDTSBrick,setStore,"string 50 50");

function fxDTSBrick::setStore(%this, %arg1, %client)
{
if(%arg1 $= "")
{
return;
}

commandToClient(%client,'StoreGui',%arg1);

}Now I just need to know how to make the parameters perform like a wrap. Sort of when you add a new event to the list another option to add an event will appear under. I just want this to give it a possible choice of continuing the output parameters.
