Seeking Advice on Minigame Interface

I did not get around to this until recently but it works like a charm.
However, the libPlasma editing is not for the faint of heart. You need to create the GUI button from scratch (or rather copy and modify it from one of Cyan's GUIs). I also made a feeble attempt to implement pfGUIButtonMod into PyPRP but unfortunately I failed miserably.

The good news is that you do not need the GUI button. It is only used to exit the GUI, but you can do that by hitting escape instead. So I would say this is usable as it is.

One more thing: you also need a clickable to activate the GUI. This clickable must be a different object than the GUI, although it can be a duplicate of it. Then you hide the GUI plane itself somewhere underground or behind a wall. The clickable requires the following AlcScript:

Code: Select all

<clickable object>:
    logic:
        modifiers:
          - tag: ModDialog
            cursor: poised
            flags:
              - localelement
            activators:
              - type: objectinvolume
                remote: <click region>
                triggers:
                  - any
            conditions:
              - type: activator
                activators:
                  - type: picking
              - type: objectinbox
                satisfied: true
            actions:
              - type: pythonfile
                ref: $PythDialog
        actions:
          - type: pythonfile
            tag: PythDialog
            pythonfile:
                file: xDialogToggle
                parameters:
                  - type: activator
                    ref: logicmod:$ModDialog
                  - type: skip
                  - type: skip
                  - type: string
                    value: Plane1


...assuming that your GUI dialog is called Plane1 as in GPNMilano's example. The Python file we are using is a global one. So no need to worry about creating it.

Don't feel bad D'Lanor, I was able to partially implement pfGUIButtonMod, as well as most of the other GUI classes. Unfortunately i've run into more then a few snafus with them I can give them some of the pfGUIControlMod's attributes, but not referenced layers or textmaps, it's quite annoying. But I can give them their own ID numbers. Back to the drawing board i suppose.

Great to see you are alive, GPNMilano

Already having GUIs at all is a big progress, even if you have to hit "Esc" to leave them. That should just be documented.
