Auto Menu Class

[Era_Admin1]

Here's a little menu class I made a long time ago...it's useful in those cases where you just "can't be bothered". The instructions are commented inside the code.

NPC Code:

---

/* Strings, Variables and Arrays needed to be set:                                          *

 *   - #v this.maxIndex: The lowest index so the images in this class don't overtake        *

 *                       the images from the calling npc.                                   *

 *   - #s this.style: The style of the text. e.g. b - bold, c - centre etc...               *

 *   - #sA this.menuOptions: String array of what you want the player to select from        *

 *   - #v this.menux: x pos of menu items                                                   *

 *   - #v this.menuy: y pos of menu items                                                   *

 *   - *boolean* this.menuOpen: So this class knows when to show the menu items.            *

 *                                                                                          *

 * To detect if a player has clicked on a menu item add this to the calling npc:            *

 *     if (strequals(#s(this.select),ITEMNAME)) { <dostuff> }                               *

 * Be sure to tell this class that afterwards no item is selected:                          *

 *     setstring this.select,;                                                              *

 * Add that after the last command in the menu click detection.                             */

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created) timeout = 0.05;

if (timeout) {

  if (this.menuOpen == true) {

    for (i=0;i<sarraylen(this.menuOptions);i++) {

      showimg this.maxIndex-i,@verdana@/*delph*/#s(this.style)@#I(this.menuOptions,i),this.menux,t  his.menuy + (i*15);

      changeimgzoom this.maxIndex-i,0.7;

      changeimgvis this.maxIndex-i,4;

      if (this.maxLen < strlen(#I(this.menuOptions,i))) this.maxLen = strlen(#I(this.menuOptions,i));

      if (mousescreenx in |this.menux,this.menux + this.maxLen*7| &&

          mousescreeny in |this.menuy + (i*15),this.menuy + (i*15) + 15|) {

        if (mousebuttons == 1 && this.mouseDown == false) {

          setstring this.select,#I(this.menuOptions,i);

        }

        changeimgcolors this.maxIndex-i,1,1,0,1;

      } else changeimgcolors this.maxIndex-i,1,1,1,1;

    }

    if (mousebuttons == 1) this.mouseDown = true;

    else this.mouseDown = false;

  } else for (i=0;i<sarraylen(this.menuOptions);i++) hideimg this.maxIndex-i;

  timeout = 0.05;

}

I used that on Era for the *secret project name*.. lol

Maybe a part for text not selectable would be good to add.

If only I "could be bothered" to see what it does...

I think there are no this. strings clientside. I guess local. strings would be the best in this situation.

No, I'm not joking. I just don't know whether what I wrote is correct. As far as I know this. strings are clientside apearing in the normal flag list, so every NPC can access them.

There are, on servers w/ npcs server.
