Welcome to MODSonline

Hi there. I need some help with a script. I dont actually have a script yet but i was wondering if it is possible to exec a command with a trigger so that it opens a custom menu. Lets say that the custom menu was called weapon.menu Does anybody know the commands/script for this type of script?

Reminder: Trigger opens a menu ingame

Very basic, but this would do it:

init()
{
	trigger = getEnt( "triggername", "targetname" );
	trigger thread trigger_think();
}

trigger_think()
{
	for( ;; )
	{
		self waittill( "trigger", player );
		
		if( isPlayer( player ) )
		{
			while( isAlive( player ) && player isTouching( self ) )
			{
				if( player.pers["team"] == "allies" )
					player openMenu( game["menu_weapon_allies"] );
				else if( player.pers["team"] == "axis" )
					player openMenu( game["menu_weapon_axis"] );
			}
			
			wait 0.05;
		}
	
	}
}

Thanks a lot mate. It worked but there was a problem. See...ive got this shop script, and what i want to happen is, u press the trigger and it opens up a custom menu, within that menu it has the gun and the amount mof money/points needed to purchase it. I can make the menu, i can exec the commands etc. thats easy stuff. But, lets say i made a menu called flicker.menu ok. In my map, what folder would i have to create, is it like modding, ui_mp and the scriptmenus and then put it there? or is it something else. When ive got it placed in the right folder lets say what i just said, would this be the command.



Please message back asap please. Thanks for the help.

ONE more thing...when i pressed it, i got a huge lag for like 3 seconds, then the menu opened, i chose the american weapon and then i respawned with it, i went back t press the button again and it wouldnt open the menu.

Hopefully you could help me with all of this, appreciate it if you can only help me alittle. Thanks again

while( isAlive( player ) && player isTouching( self ) )
{
if( player.pers["team"] == "allies" )
player openMenu( game["flicker_menu"] );
else if( player.pers["team"] == "axis" )
player openMenu( game["flicker_menu"] );
}

Why are you telling it to open the menu while you're alive and touching the trigger? It's going to repeatedly tell the game for you to open the flicker menu over and over and over.

because i am making a shop menu so that when you go to the trigger, i press the trigger and a menu comeds up (flicker_menu) and then in that menu are buttons and if u have the right aount of cash, u can buy a gun. then it will close once youve bought it.

When ive created my menu, do you know which folders i have to put it in for the command to work? thanks again

Um, this should do the trick ,you press the button and a menu opens. Not sure what the checking if the player was alive and touching the trigger was about, but I took that out.

init()
{
	trigger = getEnt( "triggername", "targetname" );
	trigger thread trigger_think();
}

trigger_think()
{
	for( ;; )
	{
		self waittill( "trigger", player );
				if( player.pers["team"] == "allies" )
					player openMenu( game["menu_weapon_allies"] );
				else if( player.pers["team"] == "axis" )
					player openMenu( game["menu_weapon_axis"] );
	}
}

thanks for the reply but,like ive said, i want to add a custom menu so, what is the command i would hsave to do...this?

init()
{
	trigger = getEnt( "triggername", "targetname" );
	trigger thread trigger_think();
}

trigger_think()
{
	for( ;; )
	{
		self waittill( "trigger", player );
				if( player.pers["team"] == "allies" )
					player openMenu( game["flicker"] );
				else if( player.pers["team"] == "axis" )
					player openMenu( game["flicker"] );
	}
}

If this is correct, where do i put the menu script in my iwd file so that the command executes the correct menu?

Thanks again

This should work, but I don't understand your second question...
The .menu files? ui_mp/scriptmenus/

init()
{
	game["flicker_menu"] = "flicker";
	precacheMenu(game["flicker_menu"]);
	
	trigger = getEnt( "triggername", "targetname" );
	trigger thread trigger_think();
}

trigger_think()
{
	for( ;; )
	{
		self waittill( "trigger", player );
		player openMenu( game["flicker_menu"] );
	}
}

what i mean by it is that, in my iwd file with all the mapping files, is there a folder i must put my flicker.menu inside for it to run eg. ui_mp/scriptmenus/here and then the script will load it from here?

yes, ui_mp/scriptmenus/menuhere
