Radio Buttons (GUI)

[Omini]

Can anyone show me an example of how the Radio Buttons work? (That's what they're called right? Radio Buttons? Like the buttons used at the bottom of a reply/new thread to choose the Post Icon?)

I've done a forum search--but couldn't find anything.

I searched the following pages:
http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Crea..._.27weapons.27
http://wiki.graal.net/index.php/Crea.../Script/Client

Also with a search of "Radio buttons", "Radio" and "Radiobuttons" on the wikipedia.

I'd just like an example of how they would work, like so if you had 2 only one could be selected at a time (and what ever one is selected is read from a clientr.string). I just need the basics though, I can do the rest.

Deal with them the same as a regular checkbox control.
Make a new GuiRadioCtrl for each button in the group.
Set their 'groupnum' variables to the same values. Only one button with the same groupnum can be checked at a time.
You can then read which is checked by going through each GUI and reading 'GUI.checked'

I have no idea how to use checkboxes either. But would the GuiRadioCtrl look something like this?

PHP Code:

new GuiRadioCtrl("RadioButton1") {
  x = 20;
  y = 20;
  width = 32;
  height = 32;
  groupnum = 1;
}

new GuiRadioCtrl("RadioButton2") {
  x = 60;
  y = 20;
  width = 32;
  height = 32;
  groupnum = 1;
}

new GuiRadioCtrl("RadioButton3") {
  x = 20;
  y = 60;
  width = 32;
  height = 32;
  groupnum = 2;
}

new GuiRadioCtrl("RadioButton4") {
  x = 60;
  y = 60;
  width = 32;
  height = 32;
  groupnum = 2;
} 


Would that be it? Or is there anything else that I missed out?



Edit:

I've tried it and it works. Thanks for your help Yen.

Also - am I right in understanding that to read it, you've said GUI.checked? Would that be like this :

PHP Code:

if (RadioButton1.checked == true) { } 


Or is it something else?

Yeah that looks correct

[Omini]

I still don't know how to read if the radio button is selected or not.

Here's the radio button part.

PHP Code:

new GuiRadioCtrl("MsgOptionsRadio_Main1") {
      x = 80;
      y = 54;
      width = 16;
      height = 16;
      groupnum = 1;
    } 


That's everything I have concerning that Radio Button (so if I'm missing a control or anything, let me know please)

Checking it, I've tried loads, but it can't read it.

I have it that reading it occurs after the player pushes a Button.

PHP Code:

if (MsgOptionsRadio_Main1.select == true) {
    echo("Correct");
  } else {
    echo("WTF?!");
  } 


Every time I try it, it just echos 'WTF?!'.

Please tell me what it is I'm missing.

It's 'checked' or 'selected', 'select' is not an attribute.

[Omini]

I believe I also tried those 2, but I'll try again.

*tries*

Ok so I've tried every one of the following and still no luck:
if ("MsgOptionsRadio_Main1".checked == "true") {
if (MsgOptionsRadio_Main1.checked == "true") {
if ("MsgOptionsRadio_Main1".checked == true) {
if (MsgOptionsRadio_Main1.checked == true) {
if (MsgOptionsRadio_Main1.selected == "true") {
if ("MsgOptionsRadio_Main1.selected" == "true") {
if (MsgOptionsRadio_Main1.selected == true) {
if ("MsgOptionsRadio_Main1.selected" == true) {



Any suggestions?

You don't need to have the names of buttons in quotes, because it's all one word with no spaces and no mathematical symbols. 'true' is a constant defined as nonzero, and it's a keyword, so it doesn't need to be in quotes.

First off, paste the part of the script you have the part where you check the status of the radio button. Is it in a timeout loop? If not, is it in an onAction block? If not, then explain how you're doing it.

I don't have anything for it... but when I test the NPC and click on the radio button, it gets selected--so I assumed you didn't need anything for it.
