How to create a Panel or menu window

[ReyEspada45]

Hi, I want to make a panel or menu window, and I know which opcodes I have to use, but I'd want to know how to create a panel with my custom strings:

 

 

08D4: [email protected] = create_panel_with_title 'IE09' position 29.0 170.0 width 180.0 columns 1 interactive 1 background 1 alignment 0

 

 

I've tried to change 'IE09' and put 'GHOST51', that is a string in a FXT, but it doesn't work, It just appears without any text, and I don't know if 'IE09' is a string in the GXT or another thing.

 

 

08DB: set_panel [email protected] column 0 header 'PLA_19' data s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518 s$2518

 

 

In this case It doesn't work neither, I've change 'PLA_19' and the string of s$2518 and put 'GHOST51', and the menu appears clear again

 

 

then, do these opcodes used to create a menu just use strings of the game and not of a FXT?

yes, IE09 is a string but it isn't the text which will be shown but an entry of american.gxt to allocate the associated text

works also with fxt

i assume you made something wrong with your fxt, so post it

My FXT It's very large, so I post the three last lines:

 

 

 

GHOST49 Here you can start the misionsGHOST50 You have killed him, Mission FailedGHOST51 Missions

 

 

Maybe there's a specific way to use these opcodes with a FXT, or declare a s$ or @s with the value of this string or its ID, I don't know how to make it work

looks good so far, i assume you know the rules: max. 7 chars for the fxt entry, only 1 space between the fxt entry and the text, only 1 space between words (charackters)

NO space at the end of a line

basicly, it's easy to show text with fxt, also inside of panels

test this if it works:

 

{$CLEO .cs}03A4: name_thread 'FXT'wait 200000BA: text_styled 'GHOST51'  1000 ms  4wait 100003E5: show_text_box 'GHOST51'wait 100000BB: show_text_lowpriority GXT 'GHOST51' time 1000 flag 1wait 100008D4: [email protected] = create_panel_with_title 'GHOST51' position 29.0 170.0 width 180.0 columns 1 interactive 1 background 1 alignment 0wait 300008DA: remove_panel [email protected] 100005AA: [email protected] = 'GHOST51'// [email protected] and [email protected] are reserverd for  'GHOST51'00BB: show_text_lowpriority GXT [email protected] time 2000 flag 1 0A93: end_custom_thread

 

if this script shows your text correct, then post your whole panel script

 

if the text will not be shown: could you ever display any text of a fxt file?

 

 

 

 

you can declare local vars with 05AA: and the expresion @s and use it then in text opcodes

 

05AA: [email protected] = 'GHOST51'00BB: show_text_lowpriority GXT [email protected] time 2000 flag 1

 

it needs to reserve 2 locals

 

this doesn't work:

 

05AA: [email protected] = 'GHOST51'// [email protected] and [email protected] are reserverd for  'GHOST51'[email protected] = 0// this corrupts the content of [email protected]: show_text_lowpriority GXT [email protected] time 2000 flag 1

 

this works:

 

05AA: [email protected] = 'GHOST51'// [email protected] and [email protected] are reserverd for  'GHOST51'[email protected] = 000BB: show_text_lowpriority GXT [email protected] time 2000 flag 1

wow ZAZ thank you very much, it worked , maybe I forgot something , and well this is the code:

 

 

{$VERSION 3.1.0027}{$CLEO .CS}//-------------MAIN---------------thread "BASE" :BASE_8wait 0 if   Player.Defined($PLAYER_CHAR)jf @BASE_8 if  $ONMISSION == 0 jf @BASE_8 if 00FE:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR sphere 1 in_sphere 681.565 -533.701 16.1875 radius 5.0 5.0 5.0 jf @BASE_8 wait 100003E5: show_text_box 'GHOST51'wait 100000BB: show_text_lowpriority GXT 'GHOST51' time 1000 flag 108D4: [email protected] = create_panel_with_title 'GHOST51' position 29.0 170.0 width 180.0 columns 1 interactive 1 background 1 alignment 0 08DB: set_panel [email protected] column 0 header 'GHOST51' data 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51' 'GHOST51'0A93: end_custom_thread 

 

 

 

that's not the whole code, It's just a test script, I'll use these opcodes in other script that I haven't written , thank you
