I have a question:
how do i get to bring up a menu in game (in a mutator) kind of like the menu in WFUT or TFC.

please help

There's a tutorial about making a mutator menu at chimeric... dont know if that helps though oO

Do you mean the menu under "Mod" in the standard window or a windwo that gets pulled during the game (like WFUT)

The first is easy, the second isn't. UScript was little in theway of a framework for using windowing in between the client and server.


Your best bet (for the latter) is to look up WndowReplicationInfo or WRI.

Actually, I need both menu under the "mod" and an ingame menu like in WFUT.

i barely have an idea how to do either one, can someone help me with those? I do know i need to subclass WindowFramedWindow, UWindowDialogClientWindow, and MenuModMenuItem but im not even sure about that.
help please

For in-game menu, subclassing SpeechWindow often provides all the functionality you need. To show it on screen you can do the following (code assumes it's in a PlayerPawn class, wouldn't take much to tweak it to work from somewhere else):

  local UMenuRootWindow ParentWindow;

    ParentWindow = UMenuRootWindow(WindowConsole(Player.Console).Root);
    if(MM == None)
    {
      MM = MainMenu(ParentWindow.CreateWindow(Class'BloodCrusade.MainMenu', 100, 100, 200, 200));
      MM.bLeaveOnScreen = True;
    }
    WindowConsole(Player.Console).Root.SetMousePos(0, 132.0 / 768 * WindowConsole(Player.Console).Root.WinWidth);
    if (ChallengeHUD(myHUD) != None)
      ChallengeHUD(myHUD).bHideCenterMessages = True;
    MM.SlideInWindow();
    WindowConsole(Player.Console).bQuickKeyEnable = True;
    WindowConsole(Player.Console).LaunchUWindow();

just added a little:
this will make the function get called client side (client will execute the code when server calls it).
This is not necissery if you are already in a function that is executing client side.
i.e: HUD, or HUDMutator (in the case of a mutator).

replication
{
  // Functions server can call.
  reliable if( Role==ROLE_Authority )
    OpenTheMenu;
}

function OpenTheMenu()
{
  local UMenuRootWindow ParentWindow;

    ParentWindow = UMenuRootWindow(WindowConsole(Player.Console).Root);
    if(MM == None)
    {
      MM = MainMenu(ParentWindow.CreateWindow(Class'BloodCrusade.MainMenu', 100, 100, 200, 200));
      MM.bLeaveOnScreen = True;
    }
    WindowConsole(Player.Console).Root.SetMousePos(0, 132.0 / 768 * WindowConsole(Player.Console).Root.WinWidth);
    if (ChallengeHUD(myHUD) != None)
      ChallengeHUD(myHUD).bHideCenterMessages = True;
    MM.SlideInWindow();
    WindowConsole(Player.Console).bQuickKeyEnable = True;
    WindowConsole(Player.Console).LaunchUWindow();
}

Oops, forgot that (though the function I cut & pasted from doesn't need it), and

var MainMenu MM;

Saves having to spawn a new menu every time you want to show it on screen.

thanks people, i dont need the mod menu anymore but I do need the ingame menu (like the one in WFUT), Menus are completely new to me so can you guys help me out with the code allitle bit and explain it to me (basically, i want to have an ingame menu EXACTLY like the one in WFUT except that instead of special attributes, it would have a list of orders, kind of like the original UT voice menu but without the fancy animations and stuff)
