Hey everyone,

Does anyone know if there is anything to check if a player is in a menu? Whether it's amxmodmenu, a game menu, or any other menu from other plugins..

Is there a way to check if a menu is open and displayed to a player?

Make a global bool "g_MenuActive[33];" then after menu_display put "g_MenuActive[id] = true", don't forget to put "g_MenuActive[id] = false" on Ham_Spawn and after menu is closed (menu_destroy). This can be used only when menu comes from that plugin.

So if you want to check you'd do

PHP Code:

if(g_MenuActive[id]) {
// code
}

That's not what he is asking for. What if the menu comes from other plugin?
Also resetting on spawn is wrong, you should reset as soon as the menu is closed.

I was on about when the menu comes from that plugin, yeah it should be reset directly when menu gets closed but in Ham_Spawn too because what if a player doesn't close the menu? ;)

Then he is still viewing the menu so the bool should be true. Not sure to understand your point.

Ah yeah you're right.

player_menu_info did the trick. I was trying get_user_menu and for some reason it wasn't working. It wasn't detecting the menus properly, not sure why.

Thank you OciXCrom.

The only thing that player_menu_info didnt detect was the menu from the radio commands. Any idea how to catch that?

If i were to do that, i'd have to edit every single one of the plugins that use menus. I considered it, but not worth the effort

I'm pretty sure that's client side and can't be detected. What are you trying to do exactly?

Nothing fancy, just trying to prevent hud messages from overlapping with menus. Thanks a lot tho.
