Hey Cyber I noticed this code in the scripts:

Code: Select all

  
 function AddUserButton(x, y, style, text, callback)
	local b = CUIButton:new()
	b.X = x
	b.Y = y
	b.Text = text
	b.Style = style
	b:SetCallback(callback)
	bb = CUIUserButton:new()
	bb.Button = b
	UI.UserButtons:push_back(bb)
 end

and it's use here, in uac.lua:

Code: Select all

AddUserButton(3, 102, FindButtonStyle("uac-button-pause"), "", 
	function()
		if (IsNetworkGame() == false) then
			if (GetGamePaused()) then
				SetGamePaused(false)
				AddMessage(_("Game resumed"))
			else
				SetGamePaused(true)
				AddMessage(_("Game paused"))
			end
		end
	end)

Just wondering. Can we use this kind of code to get the in-game menu buttons to behave like the "Menu (F10)" does? Just asking

[cybermind]

Yes, that's why I created them. See the quick buttons on the left side of the screen? They are using this code

Tried it out with this code in "game.lua" to see if I could make the Save button work like the menu button:

Code: Select all

AddUserButton(160, 140, FindButtonStyle("gm-half-orc"), "Save (~<F11~>)", function() RunSaveMenu() end)

The "160" and "140" are just for this test. I ended up getting this:

The save button appears , but is not able to be clicked , but when I get rid of the game menu, the save button stays on the screen, and is THEN usable...

Somehow I've got to make it so the button is attached to the panel, and not the main interface...Should I move the code to the respective orc and human "ui.lua" files instead? that seems to be where all the other buttons that behave this way are kept, code wise.

not really helping, plus I can't see the video man. Apparently it's private...

[cybermind]

Haha, was too funny to watch this video, though all Kyran's comments have been muted because of music Nightmare AI's of Doom Wars are really tough, I'm eager to watch a video of beating at least 1 Nightmare AI.
