Hello, I have a menu, which opens at Ham_Spawn. How do I make one more button into it, that when you press it once, it will not show menu every time you respawn (button called do not show for now). [But it will show the menu for first time when you join server and spawn.] When you press the exact same button for the second time, it will keep showing menu every time after respawn (it will be called keep showing menu every time after respawn). Thank you.

Create a global array, let's say

PHP Code:

new bool:g_bMenuEnabled[MAX_PLAYERS + 1]; 


Now when a player connects, set that player's index in the array to true

PHP Code:

public client_connect(id)
{
        g_bMenuEnabled[id] = true;
} 


In your Ham_Spawn hook, add an if clause to opening the menu

PHP Code:

if(g_bMenuEnabled[id])
        OpenMenu(id); // ? 


Add another item to your menu for disabling it on spawn

PHP Code:

menu_additem(menu, g_bMenuEnabled[id] ? "Don't show menu on spawn" : "Show menu on spawn"); 


Finally, in your menu handler function, add a clause for the new item, where you reverse the value of the global variable.

PHP Code:

switch(item)
{
        case 0: ...
        case 1: ...
        ...
        case ?: g_bMenuEnabled[id] = !g_bMenuEnabled[id];
}

It's working! Thank you. (had to define max players) But I have one more question. How do I make client_print "something", after someone clicks "don't show menu on spawn"? But it does not show for "show menu on spawn".

//edit:
And when you click "show menu on spawn again", it directly closes. How can I make it, that it just will not disappear again after the "show menu" click, but it will be still showing.

And one more thing. Is it possible, to take exit out of there and assign this enabler/disabler number 0, as exit was?

Check the value of g_bMenuEnabled[id] again, so you know which name is shown for the menu item, and print the text accordingly.

To keep displaying the menu, you would need to use menu_item_setname to first change the item's name and then menu_display to display the menu again.

If you want to remove the exit button and change this to number 0, I believe you would have to use

PHP Code:

menu_setprop(menu, MPROP_EXIT, MEXIT_NEVER); // Disable exit button
menu_setprop(menu, MPROP_PERPAGE, 0); // Disable pagination 


and then repeat

PHP Code:

menu_addblank2(menu); 


until you have a total of 9 items on the menu, after that add the "enabler/disabler" item. Now it should be item number 10 on the menu and require pressing 0 to activate.

There might be some more elegant way to set an item explicitly to number 0, but I have never needed to do something like that and can't find anything with a quick look.

Unfortunately, I tried to check it, but it did not work out. But thank you for the other things, I appreciate it.

[TheBladerX]

Okay, I tried it again, and could not finish it. Could you please help me a little bit?

[Kushfield]

How far did you get and what exactly is the issue now?
It would be beneficial if you can provide the piece of code that you tried so we can see what's wrong with it.

[TheBladerX]

I deleted it, because I was not able to make it correctly. I mean, the issue is that I tried to check the value of g_bMenuEnabled[id] again, so it would not hide menu directly after clicking "do not show again", it will only change the value of g_bMenuEnabled[id] to false (and it will print - if you want to reopen the menu, type /blabla...). The menu can be closed with number 0 afterwards and it would not show after user closes it with 0, until user reopens the menu by command.

[Kushfield]

The suggestion of checking g_bMenuEnabled was so you can achieve this:

How do I make client_print "something", after someone clicks "don't show menu on spawn"? But it does not show for "show menu on spawn".

I assume you would want to keep showing the menu regardless of the value of g_bMenuEnabled, for that you just need to use menu_display(id, menu) in the menu handler function.

I assume you would want to keep showing the menu regardless of the value of g_bMenuEnabled, for that you just need to use menu_display(id, menu) in the menu handler function.

Yes, if you hit "don't show menu on spawn" it would be still shown, but it checks the value of g_bMenuEnabled to false, and it will keep showing, until you select one item out of it (for example that exit button), so basically, I need to edit handler function, where it check the value of g_bMenuEnabled to false and at the same time, it will pop up the menu again [function OpenMenu(id)], just until you select one item (it would not show at next spawn, bcs g_bMenuEnabled is false). I hope you understand now.
