Dialog Tutorial For Noobs [By A Noob]

chrs · April 9, 2012

Hello,

Nice Tutorial.

Could anyone help me a MP problem I am having.

Banger1.sqf is called when I press the dialog button (Dialogs.hpp shows more detail). On a server there is no visible effect when called through the dialog box I made. I know the script works fine by itself called though a trigger or addaction. However when called through my dialog shown bellow only the hint appears for the person calling it and no bombs are spawned in. Its like the server does not know about the script. If I host the game locally and use the dialog box it works fine (ie I am the server) but if people who connect to me try to use it again no effect as outlined above. Any ideas?

Dialogs.hpp (extract)

class h_yes: RscButton
{
idc = 1600;
text = "Start Strikes"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
x = 0.468125 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
y = 0.687 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
w = 0.159375 * safezoneW;
h = 0.085 * safezoneH;
action = "closeDialog 0; ExecVM 'Scripts\Banger1.sqf'; ExecVM 'Scripts\Banger2.sqf';";
};

Scripts\Banger1.sqf

sleep 34.5;

hint "ok";

_strike = []; 
_count = 0;
number = 50;
spread = 200;
sleep 1;
       while {_count != number} do {

        if (isServer) then { 
     sleep .5;

_strike = "R_80mm_HE" createVehicle [(getmarkerpos "arty1" select 0) + floor (random spread) - floor (random spread), (getmarkerpos "arty1" select 1) - floor (random spread) - floor (random spread), 0];
_count = _count + 1;
          sleep 2;
    };
};

Good Tutorial, Iceman77

but i have an issue with the defines in ArmA 3.

I use the IGUIBack and the RscCombo parts.

Where can i get the defines for these, because theyÂ´re not included in your defines.hpp. So everytime i try to load the mission it says that the base classes are missing.

tryteyker · November 20, 2010

Use CTRL + P whilst having the A3 GUI Editor (with your GUI) open. It will add the defines.hpp to your clipboard. Make a new defines.hpp and paste (CTRL + V) the content into it.

Alright thanks a lot

Rumsfield · April 26, 2004

Thanks for the tutorial, helps a lot!

Also, for Arma 3 don't forget to add the following to your "defines.hpp" or you will have an invisible dialog issue.

#define GUI_GRID_X	(0)
#define GUI_GRID_Y	(0)
#define GUI_GRID_W	(0.025)
#define GUI_GRID_H	(0.04)
#define GUI_GRID_WAbs	(1)
#define GUI_GRID_HAbs	(1)

tryteyker · November 20, 2010

The above is only relevant if you're using GUI_Grid as placement method (Ctrl + P will not add what Rumsfield mentioned above), although I'd recommend using Safezone instead.

iceman77 · July 13, 2007

...

I never fiddled with the GUI_GRID because safezone has always worked so dang well. What are the benefits of using GUI_GRID?

PenguinInATuxedo · October 27, 2013

Thank you so much the tutorial was excellent, I managed to create a GUI for my role selection script. Hopefully I can learn more about GUI editing going into the future.

IndeedPete · June 14, 2009

Very good tutorial for beginners. Thank you very much for sharing it, though there are some A3 specific things that should probably be mentioned in the guide. My fear of dialogs is a little bit smaller now. :)

spudly · April 26, 2013

ICE, thanks heaps for this tutorial, it's all starting to make sense now!

Hello guys.

Made a small video tutorial. Similar to ICEMAN77 tutorial so hope someone finds it useful

dr death jm · May 8, 2010

ok , this is cool..... and thanks for vid, But I am stuck with a question,

How do you reverse What you Build (after the crtl,shit,s) ... Im tryng to build But Made some mistakes ... Or can you load other dialogs into this ?

many thanks

raptor 6 actual · March 20, 2005

Thank you BangaBob for the video. I was having problems as well, with "Error Loading Control", but I think one of the major steps I overlooked, was at the beginning of your video, the part where you changed it from GUI Grid to Safezone.

EDIT- Has anyone else had issues where they are using ST_PICTURE and the picture doesn't show up in the original color? I have an example where the original pic is black and gold, but comes up with black and light blue?? I've tweaked the values in both the colorBackground arguments and the colorText area.

The tutorial doesn't really go into detail about background images, or what controls to use for them. Thanks

Resources must be inside RscTitles but what about dialogs. Is there any RscTitles like class we can put dialogs inside?

Edited April 12, 2014 by scifer

scifer · July 24, 2010

I'm trying to launch a simple dialog like ICE_DIALOG at mission very beginning via init.sqf or missionFlow.fsm with:

_dialog_created = createDialog "ICE_DIALOG";

The problem is it simply doesn't launch.

I can launch it through radio triggers and Debug Console though.

Can anybody help me?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: I managed it through:

[] spawn {_dialog_created = createDialog "ICE_DIALOG"};

I still would like to know why is it needed.

Edited April 12, 2014 by scifer

alleycat · December 23, 2009

I would like to enable mouse navigation in this dialog:

class RscTitles //All resources reside in this class
{
class cat_ui_C
{
	idd = 5000;
	duration = 1e+006; //Time in seconds the resource will stay visible for. 1e+1000 = 1 * 10^1000 = never disappear
	movingenable = true;
	onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable ['cat_ui_C_display', _this select 0];"; 


	class Controls
	{
		class cat_box_C: BOX
		{
			idc = 1801;
			x = 0.222917 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0.178 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
			w = 0.554167 * safezoneW;
			h = 0.644 * safezoneH;
		};
		class cat_frame_C: RscFrame
		{
			idc = 1800;
			x = 0.222917 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0.178 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
			w = 0.554167 * safezoneW;
			h = 0.644 * safezoneH;
		};
		class cat_listbox_C: RscListbox
		{
			idc = 1500;
			text = "Listbox"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
			x = 0.2375 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0.206 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
			w = 0.371875 * safezoneW;
			h = 0.588 * safezoneH;
		};
		class cat_closebutton_C: RscButton
		{
			idc = 1600;
			text = "Close"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
			x = 0.682292 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0.766 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
			w = 0.0802083 * safezoneW;
			h = 0.028 * safezoneH;
			action = "closeDialog 0";
		};
	};
};
};

As base classes I used the ones from the GUI editor by pressing CTRL +P

The dialog shows up but there is no mouse pointer and moving the mouse around moves my unit

When I call it with:

5000 cutRsc ["cat_ui_C", "PLAIN"];

Then it loads without issues. But there is no mouse. However when calling it with a createdialog, it says cant find the resource.

Okay I'm stuck..... I'm making the DIalogs for a mission my clan is working on. its going fine looks nice ect untill other people test it.....

then they have problems Picture to big... Text to big... button to small......

and its breaking my head completly..... i tryed a ton of diffrent things....

// this
w = 0.333; h = 0.333;
//and this
w = 0.333 * safezoneW;
h = 0.333 * safezoneH;
// and this
w = (safeZoneH/2*(4/3))/10;
h = (safeZoneH/2*(4/3))/10;
// this also
w = 34 * GUI_GRID_w
h = 34 * GUI_GRID_H

does anyone know how to make the Dialog the same for everyone no matter if they have a smal screen or lower resolution or smaller interface????

cheers,

KBBW

iceman77 · July 13, 2007

For (text) sizeEx use

sizeEx = "(((((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 1.2) / 25) * 1)"; // Adjust the 1

For controls just use safezone

x = 0.45 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
y = 0.45 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
w = 0.333 * safezoneW;
h = 0.333 * safezoneH;

It's missing alot of things... The guide was made for Arma2 ages ago. I wrote it while I was teaching myself how to make dialogs... without any help. Needless to say, I myself have come a very long way. The guide will be re-wrote for A3 in any case. Sometime.
