Hey guys

Ive tried using a datapack but i just cant seem to send variables into a menu handler

PHP Code:

db_loltest(client,String:szMapName[MAX_MAP_LENGTH],String:szSteamId[32])
{
    new Handle:pack = CreateDataPack();
    WritePackCell(pack, client);
    WritePackString(pack, szMapName);
    WritePackString(pack, szSteamId);
    
    new Handle:menu = CreateMenu(Menu_Handler);
    SetMenuTitle(menu, "LOL");
    decl String:buffer[10], i;
    for(new i = 0; i< 7; i++)
    {
        Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d", i);
        AddMenuItem(menu, buffer, i);
    }
    DisplayMenu(menu, client, MENU_TIME_FOREVER);
}
public Menu_Handler(Handle:menu, MenuAction:action, param1, param2){
    if(action == MenuAction_Select)
    {
        //new Handle:pack = data;
        ResetPack(pack);
        new client = ReadPackCell(pack); //client
        decl String:szMapName[MAX_MAP_LENGTH];
        ReadPackString(pack, szMapName, MAX_NAME_LENGTH);
        decl String:szSteamId[32];
        ReadPackString(pack, szSteamId, 32);
        decl String:info[10];
        GetMenuItem(menu, param2, info, sizeof(info));

        db_anotherfunction(param1, szSteamId, szMapName, BhopLevel:StringToInt(info));
    }
    else if(action == MenuAction_End)
        CloseHandle(menu);
}

...How are you sending the pack to the menu?
Datapacks don't magically appear in callbacks, you need to send it somehow.

Thats what i dont know how todo :S

For MenuAction_Select, param1 is client and param2 is the item they selected. Look at the MenuAction enum here for more info on what each parameter is for each case.

[Jasonbourne]

Thanks bl4nk but i was wondering if there was an efficient way of passing variables/data through to the handler

[Jasonbourne]

Maybe it just isnt possible with datapacks but there should be a different/better way

[necavi]

It is entirely possible with a datapack, just have i be one of the values in the datapack, then use something to change the datapack's handle to a string, pass it as the info index, then convert it back on the other side.

Genius
I'll give it a go now

Converting datapack into a string and back again is the issue.

Any documentation on it ?

[necavi]

Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%d", <handle to datapack>); new Handle:datapack = StringToInt(buffer);
