Weapon -> Class

[thatdwarf]

Hey everybody,

I'm having a bit of a tough time here. I've tried seperating the GUI initialization lines from my weapon script and placed them in a class.

Here's the general layout:

Weapon Script:

PHP Code:

/*
   class functions:
      createGUI() - public function that holds the GUI creation lines
      toggle(status) - public function that shows/hides the GUI windows
*/

//#CLIENTSIDE
this.join("gui_design");

function onCreated() {
  this.on = false;
  createGUI();
  toggle(this.on);
}

function onWeaponFired() {
  this.on = !this.on;
  player.chat = (this.on) ? "On":"Off";
  toggle(this.on);
} 


Class Script

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
public function toggle(status) {
  if(status) {
    Menu.show();
    Stats.show();
  }else{
    Menu.hide();
    Stats.hide();
  }
}

public function createGUI() {
  //GUI Lines Here
} 


I also have each button calling an appropriate function using thiso.catchevent(). Should those functions also be public?

The problem that I am having is if the player has just logged on and tries to turn on the NPC, the status switches, but the GUI does not hide/show. If I hit "Apply" on the script window, it works.

This is obviously very inconvenient, and indicates something is wrong. Any suggestions?


I also plan on using a TStaticVar, defined in another class, to allow changes to the GUI to be extremely easy. But I'm having trouble passing the TStaticVar inbetween scripts.


Thanks in advance!
