Gui Scripting

[killerogue]

I've gotten so far scripting this GUI window by reading the wiki and examining other scripts and the functions they used. But o I'm sort of stuck any and all help would be appreciated as to how I would go about doing this right.

PHP Code:

//By Stan.

//CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
this.on = false;

addGUIControls();
}

function turnon()
{
this.on = true;
function onKeyPressed(code,key) {
if (keycode==0x75) {//F9
if (this.on) 
turnoff();
else
turnon();
}
}

I hope you want to turn it on somewhere else in the script. You forgot the # for Clientside ( //#CLIENTSIDE ), and forgot to close the { bracket for turning it on. Also, I dont think scripts can go back if they call a function (if they call a function, that function needs to be below it). And the part

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(code,key) {
if (keycode==0x75) {//F9 


the if (keycode == 0x75) { }

keycode is the code given within the onKeyPressed params, so it would either be

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(keycode,key) {
if (keycode==0x75) { 


or

PHP Code:

function onKeyPressed(code,key) {
if (code==0x75) { 


Also I don't see why this is entitled 'Gui Scripting', since so far you havn't mentioned anything about GUIs--but rather, GS2 Scripting.

I'm scripting the GUI for a window. XD Also I've gotten alot of help from Warcaptain and have come to understand it more.

Ok. Now I've gotten very far with this GUI script with help from Warcaptain, Master Storm and Kaidenn. But everytime I set the GUIButtonProfile. My menu gets messed up.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated(){
  addGUIControls();
}

function addGUIControls(){
  new GuiWindowCtrl("SH_Information"){
    profile = "GuiWindowProfile";
    extent = "450 300";
    position = "100 100";
    canmaximize = 1;
    canminizmize = 0;
    canclose = 1;
  new GUIButtonCtrl("News"){
  profile = "GuiButtonProfile";
  extent = "400 300";
  position = "45 45";
   }
  }
  new GUITabCtrl(Hirings_Tab){
  }
  new GUIScrollCtrl(){
  profile = "GuiScrollProfile";
  }
  GraalControl.addControl(Blah);
}

Not sure if it's case sensative or not, but it should be GuiButtonCtrl, GuiTabCtrl, etc.

Also, you are not setting any properties of your tab, and where is 'Blah' defined?

Don't forget to use thiso.catchevent(this,"onAction","function")

for the buttons

that is not required, you can just as well use:

PHP Code:

function ButtonName.onAction() {
  // ...
}

catchevent allows you to assign multiple buttons the same event.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated(){
  TwinnyTest.destroy; //No need to reconnect after each update now
  drawgui();
}

function drawgui(){
  Testing = new GuiWindowCtrl(TwinnyTest); //Sets the name of the window
  with (TwinnyTest) {
    useownprofile = true;
    profile      = "GuiBlueWindowProfile";
    extent       = "450 300";
    position     = "100 100";
    canmaximize  = true;
    canminizmize = false;
    canclose     = true;
    visible      = true;
  
    new GuiButtonCtrl("News") {
      profile = "GuiBlueButtonProfile";
      extent = "100 30";
      position = "5 150";
      text     = "Actual Text";
    }

    new GuiScrollCtrl("ScrollName") { //Must enter a name for a control
      profile = "GuiBlueScrollProfile"; //use GuiScrollCtrl not GUIScrollCtrl
      extent  = "100 100";
      position = "10 30";
    }
  }
  GraalControl.addControl(TwinnyTest); //Must be the name of the window
} 


Use that for a reference for your main GUI stuff

What is it with you people being unable to indent correctly?

Also, Twinny. You don't need to add the control to GraalControl again, and check that your window exists before destroying it or you will just create F2 console errors.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  if (myWindow != NULL)
  {
    myWindow.destroy();
  }
}

Assigning the variable testing is irrelevant. What you did can be accomplished in one line.

PHP Code:

function drawgui() {
  new GuiWindowCtrl("TwinnyTest") {
    // ..
  }
}
