I wish to make a menu that updates itself constantly. My menu shows a list of players and their health, and the health is updated to reflect changes in health.

I do so by constantly showing the same menu every few seconds via timers.

It works great when there are only a few players (< 8 ). However once there are too many players, the menu system created a "next page" entry, and the menu thus has multiple pages.

The problem is that each time the timer shows the menu with updated info, the menu goes back to the first page. My questions are the following:

1. Is it possible to store the page the menu is at, and reopen it on that page?
2. If not, is there a better way to make menus that update themselves?

well there is GetMenuSelectionPosition()

But "This is only valid inside a MenuAction_Select callback"
It not get trigger by pagination (next, previous), need choose menu item.

And it is not recommended send fake client command "menuselect1" (or what was it ?) to interrupt player actions.

Should those menu "player" items to be selectable ?
Because you can fill menu with text and use multiple lines...

You can override a menu items text as it's drawn to make a dynamic menu.

I dont have an example right now but I learnt this through the standard wiki page for menus/panels.

Yes, they need to be selectable. Otherwise as you said I'd just add a line for every person on the server.

Are you referring to this: https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Custom_A...u_(SourceMod)?

It's not really helping me. I know how to display the menu once with the health information, I just don't know how to make it update itself as it is shown.
