BuyMenu, Again !!!

[Supremacy]

Hey guys,

found out how to make a BuyMenu GUI ???
wich responds with a key (for example: "V")
and then it pops up and shows weapons and other items.

if anyone got a complete buy-system i would send him/her money for it :/

Is this a request for others to do this for you? In that case the Mod Recruitment forum might be a better place...

BuyMenu is simple GUIPage opened within an exec functionin your playcontroller class.
Then build up the GUIpage......should it be react on key strokes?...then define KeyEvents (or keytypes...im not sure what exactly). after all those things (spawn a copy of your item,give it to the player and substract the money from his playerreplicationinfo...i suggest to define the money there)

it isnt as difficult as it seems to be (instead of the grafiks)

if you have more questions.....we are all in here :P

i didn't find the keyevents / keytypes ...

just open other gui pages from standard ut and u can see how it works.

yes, but how to get the new guipage displayed ?

Create an exec off your controller that does an open page. Look at the code that opens the MidGameMenu for some samples. Then create a keybind for that exec, or if you want to get fancy on it - a key interaction.


For example, the modified ShowMenu in riftwar:

exec function ShowMenu()
{
	// Pause if not already
	if(Level.Pauser == None)
		SetPause(true);

	StopForceFeedback();  // jdf - no way to pause feedback

	// Open menu
	ClientOpenMenu("SpeciesBattle.SBMidGameMenu");
}

	ClientOpenMenu("SpeciesBattle.SBMidGameMenu");
}

i made it, even b4
but then came an error something about exec stuff

ClientOpenMenu("TacStr.TS_MidGameMenu.uc");

thats what i did and an error about exec stuff apeared.


EDIT: this is the message:

TacStr is not a DLL package; can't find export 'intATS_PlayerConrollerexecSetNetSpeed'

[RegularX]

ClientOpenMenu("TacStr.TS_MidGameMenu.uc");

Probably because your are referring to a file rather than a class ... try dropping the .uc

[Supremacy]

what means dropping the .uc ?

[Supremacy]

i copied the original PlayerController.uc and put it in my code dir and then i renamed that file to TS_PlayerController.uc and named the class right.
and then i made this little code line:

ClientOpenMenu("TacStr.TS_MidGameMenu.uc");

instead of

ClientOpenMenu("Xinterface.UT2MidGameMenu");

[RegularX]

...and did that work?

[Supremacy]

hell no :/
the error i posted before appeared

[RegularX]

sorry, I misread

You have - ClientOpenMenu("TacStr.TS_MidGameMenu.uc");

You need (I think) -
ClientOpenMenu("TacStr.TS_MidGameMenu");

No ".uc"

Totally man, for like $15 an hour I'd make an awsome buy system for you. Hell, maybe I'll just make a universal buy menu system and sell it (I bet this is against the EULA though, damnit).

[Euphoric Beaver]

Yeh then once you've sold it, add it to the wiki. \o/

yeah its without .uc sorry i posted this mistake but the code is without .uc




@SoSilencer:
if you need 1-2 hours for it (a tiny buymenu is enough, without pictures and stuff) then you are my worker and i pay

PM me

[RegularX]

It sounds like you have a compile error causing your package to implode. Either in your PC or the GUIPage itself. Can't tell from your posts if you are getting this error during the build or when you try the exec. If it's during the build, it's probably a syntax error in your PC. If it's not, it might in your GUIPage. Try swapping out your GP with MidGameMenu to see if that's true.

You'll have to post more code for debugging if that fails you.

That's something you shouldn't do.
You don't need to copy that whole stuff...
just make a subclass of PlayerController instead.

You should familiarize yourself with the principles of OOP before attempting to write a mod with buy menus and stuff.
Unreal Wiki - OOP Overview


trust me...
even if you get your buymenu working, you'll never finish your mod if you're not willing to learn the basics. (or if you're to lazy to write it yourself!)
