guiMessageVectorCtrl crashes when I try to use it

[Darksaber2213]

like the title says, when I try to use a guiMessageVectorCtrl, the game crashes on me.

Here is my GUI:

Code: [Select]

//--- OBJECT WRITE BEGIN ---
new GuiControl(connectifyGui) {

      };
      new GuiMessageVectorCtrl(connectifyMessageVectorControl) {

         maxColorIndex = "9";
      };
   };
};
//--- OBJECT WRITE END ---
and here is my client side code for attaching it

Code: [Select]

function connectifyGui::onWake(%this)
{
if(!isObject(Connectify_MsgVector))
new MessageVector(Connectify_MsgVector);

connectifyMessageVectorControl.attach(Connectify_MsgVector);
}
when I press the 'send' button, game crashes.

manually doing

Code: [Select]

Connectify_MsgVector.pushBackLine($connectifyChatMessage,0);crashes as well

any help?

I've never even heard of this control. Are you certain that it actually works?

It's used in RTB, and I found 2 coding help topics on the forums with it. It seems obscure, but in those topics and RTB it works. I don't know what I'm doing something wrong.

I've never seen someone use connectifyChatbox.variable = $connectifyChatMessage; So I'm unsure if that works. It probably won't help, but you could try swapping that with:

Code: [Select]

connectifyChatbox.getValue();
to get the TextEditCtrl's text.

Already tried that, same result.

Your fix: You need to put the GuiMessageVectorCtrl in a GuiScrollCtrl.
Doing so will give you these results:


Edit: You'll might also want to modify some stuff to set padding and give your box multi-line support. I have a similar mod to yours that was made over a year ago. If you want I can send you that.

It's used for the chat message HUD.
