Help with GUI

[protagonist]

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE



function onWeaponFired(){

 new GuiWindowCtrl(WindowTest){ 

      extent = {140,62}; 

      position = {50,50}; 



      text = "Test Window"; 



      new GuiButtonCtrl(Okay){ 

          position = {6,24}; 

          extent = {128,32}; 



          text = "Okay!"; 

      } 

  }

 }

 function WindowTest.onAction(){

 WindowTest.destroy;

 }

---

What's wrong with it?

[Ajira]

You might mean to use Okay.onAction() as that is the actual button control, that is if you want the window to close when you click the button. Currently, WindowTest.onAction() is checking some action with the window itself, which I don't think happens. :o

But shouldn't it still be created? It's not even popping up.

You're not giving it a profile to use.

add: profile = "GuiBlueWindowProfile"; to the window, and: profile = "GuiBlueButtonProfile" to the button.

What if he doesn't like blue!

 new GuiWindowCtrl("WindowTest"){

In the function creating the new window, WindowTest would be a string. You need quotations.

No, it doesn't have to have quotes around it. Most people prefer not to put quotes, for some odd reason.

Then that's too bad for him!

I _BELIEVE_ the only arrays used in GUI controls are the rows object.

In which case, extent would be "min max", not {min,max};

Alternative, you could set x, y, width, and height. I personally don't like using extent and such.

Arrays are probably more effective for setting these values. The "vector" datatype that people use (for example, "min max") are essentially converted into arrays anyway.
