Creating Menus

Toco123 · **Author**

Hello, I'm currently creating a Resident Evil Mod for ZombieSurvivalists.co.uk .
However, I've become a bit stuck when it comes to menus as Ive never looked into them.

For a start, I want to make something similarly basic to the Admin Buy menu plugin, or use it as a base.
However, rather than limiting it to VIP/Admin flags, I wish for it to disable the Normal Buy Menu and to show this new menu on spawn (which is the start of a round).
The reason for this is I've edited the .CTX files to create weapons with similar statistics to Resident Evil and blocked those that didnt fit into the game and have increased the prices on all weapons.
I already use the Admin Buy menu for VIPs to purchase the chicago typewriter, a galil with a thompson world model. However it wouldnt be a problem to set this to !VIP or the new menu to !guns or something.

The second menu I need is rather than this, where I check if the person has VIP to see if they can use the Wesker model, and if not set them to the hunk model instead:

PHP Code:


			
 {
  case 0 :
  {
    if (GetAdminFlag(aid,Admin_Custom1,Access_Effective))
   {
   SetEntityHealth(indx,150);
   SetEntityModel(indx,"models/player/pil/re1/wesker/wesker_pil.mdl");
   }
    else
   {
   SetEntityModel(indx,"models/player/toco/hunk.mdl");
   SetEntityHealth(indx,100);
   SetEntityGravity(indx,1.0);
   SetEntPropFloat(indx, Prop_Data, "m_flLaggedMovementValue", 1.0);
   }
  }

The script sets all survivors to 0 and >1 to zombie classes which is done on a cycle. How would I go about creating a menu for VIPs to provide a choice between 3 or 4 skins rather than been forced to use one that they may not like. However, it cannot provide this option to T's as they are zombie classes.

Any pointers?

Master53 · 05-13-2010 , 17:29 Re: Creating Menus

em. maybe try something like this.

Code:

static NextKey[33];

        NextKey[Client] = 0;


    decl Handle:Panel;
    Panel = CreatePanel();

    if(NextKey[Client] == 0)
    {
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "Next");
    }
    else if(NextKey[Client] == 1)
    {
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "Next");
    }
    else if(NextKey[Client] == 2)
    {
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "");
        DrawPanelItem(Panel, "Next");
    }

Code:


    decl String:Buffer[64];
    decl String:Buffer2[64];

    if(!IsClientInGame(Client) || !IsClientConnected(Client) || !IsPlayerAlive(Client))
        return;

    GetClientModel(Client, Buffer, 64); 

    if(HandleAction == MenuAction_Select)
    {
        if((Parameter < 1) || (Parameter > 7))
            return;

        if(NextKey[Client] == 0)
        {
            if(Parameter == 1)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 2)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 3)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 4)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 5)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 6)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 7)
            {
                NextKey[Client]++;
                YourMainMenu... for code 1;
            }
        }
        else if(NextKey[Client] == 1)

            if(Parameter == 1)
            {

            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 3)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 4)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 5)
            {
            }
            else if(Parameter == 6)

            }
            else if(Parameter == 7)
            {
                NextKey[Client]++;
                YourMainMenu... for code 1;
            }
        }

Thanks for the tips <3

Gonna wait till CSS Beta comes out before updating the gamemode.
Bit worried of what it could screw up.

Master53 · 05-15-2010 , 07:57 Re: Creating Menus

the script above works on any source game/mod

Toco123 · 05-18-2010 , 20:49 Re: Creating Menus

Yeah, I gathered, but I don't know if my gamemode will still work on the new CSS, so I'd rather wait than work on the menus to find out it was wasted energy.
If it works, it will be the first thing I'll be doing
