    Dialog without focus

    Hi

    how do you use createDialog or whatever command is required to show dialog that doesnt stop you from playing? Not take the focus i mean.

    Hi,

    You need to use a Resource title instead.
    Be aware that Description.ext entry must also be changed, see here and here.

    There may be limitations on not being able to show gui that requires user input (kinda makes sense, but doesn't have to be like this, again - not sure), but I've been using them for lots of stuff. See also this old thread on the subject:

    Not just static stuff at all.
    For example, all the command interface in Arma 2, say, for controlling team members, it's very dynamic and interactive and is done this way, using Title Resources.
