Hey;

I'm trying to find a way to get slot1-8 working, for choosing weapon, when a menu is showed.

So, my (permanent)-menu, gives information wich you can exit (0, slot10). But the problem when I have this menu, up and running, players cant use slot[1-9] anymore, tho the menu doesnt need them.

So is there a way to detect pressing 'exit / slot10', then I just use a hud, and remove it when pressed, or is it possible to make slot[1-9] working even menu is up ?

Thx

How are you displaying the menu?

I try'd the old way 'show_menu( plr, 1<<9, menu, -1 );, and the new way, but both got same..

Show us your code. The menu system is working perfectly.

You dont understand it..

Menu works yes, but menu blocks all 'slot-keys', even if your menu doesnt use these keys.

Cus slot1-4 (if I'm right), is for choosing weapons, but if you make a menu, with only option to close, slot1-8 is 'blocked' by menu.

I have 2 thoughts how to you might solve this:
in menu hook which slot was pressed,
1) exec that slot/weapon_name command on player
2) do some magic with ham by (maybe) deploying weapon on player

I could show menu back, when pressing slot1-5,

but how to show slot1 selecting effect then

That code says that only a single key is available to be used by the menu. So, at last, show more of your code or we can't really help you.

Not sure what u wanna see in the full code but

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN "Test"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "Xalus"


public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    
    register_menucmd( register_menuid( "\d          [Info]^n" ), 1023, "Handler_Popup" );
    
    register_clcmd("say a", "Menu_Popup")
}
public Menu_Popup( plr )
{
    static menu[2048];

    format( menu, sizeof menu - 1, "\d          [Info]^n\w0.\d ...." );
    show_menu( plr, 1<<9, menu, -1 );
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}
public Handler_Popup( plr, key )
{
    client_print(0, print_chat, "Press key (old): %i", key)
    
    if(key == 9)
    {
        // Exit menu
    }
}

The "keys" supplied to the register_menucmd() command are the keys that will be able to call the menu handler. The "keys" supplied to show_menu() are the keys that will be selectable in-game. So, if you want a key to be both selectable and to call the menu handler, you need to have that key in both of two aforementioned functions.

It is not possible for the default weapon selection keys to work when you have a menu shown regardless of how many keys are part of the menu. That's normal behavior. You might be able to register the default weapons selection keys and fake it (handle in your handler somehow such that the menu briefly goes a way and you make them select that slot, maybe with client_cmd, then reshow the menu). This is actually implemented in one of the larger plugins here on the forum. I can't remember which though; I think it might be a map chooser plugin.


Other tips:

To make things easier for yourself and others, you should be using the definitions provided for keys to make your code readable:

amxconst.inc

PHP Code:

/* Menu keys */
#define MENU_KEY_1        (1<<0)
#define MENU_KEY_2        (1<<1)
#define MENU_KEY_3        (1<<2)
#define MENU_KEY_4        (1<<3)
#define MENU_KEY_5        (1<<4)
#define MENU_KEY_6        (1<<5)
#define MENU_KEY_7        (1<<6)
#define MENU_KEY_8        (1<<7)
#define MENU_KEY_9        (1<<8)
#define MENU_KEY_0        (1<<9) 


You can combine them like this:

PHP Code:

new MY_KEYS = MENU_KEY_1 | MENU_KEY_2 | MENU_KEY_0 


Now, you can use MY_KEYS where ever you need to use the keys (e.g. in register_menucmd and show_menu).
