[Question] LUA Menu & ChaiScript
-
I'll start with LUA:
Because of quarantine, I wanted to make a mod for an arms store (I wanted to repeat Survival Mod MW 2), but having made a menu for assault and sniper rifles, I asked myself: HOW TO GIVE THEM OUT ?!
After thinking a bit, I decided to add a script (about it later) and it worked!
[I used Game.SetDvar to implement this...]
So questions about LUA:- Can LUA notify the server?
- Is it possible to make a menu for the server so that it opens through:
player.openMenu("menu"); // now i used it i get crush, i use default menu perk_displayChaiScript:
Some commands crush server, so I could not use:player.giveWeapon("weapon"); // and other it command version giveWeapon(name, variant, akimbo) (private match and dedicate server) player.openMenu("menu"); // i getting crush server (private match and dedicate server) //probably the list is bigger, but I wrote only those that caused the server crashSource code menu: https://pastebin.com/raw/Nnmwt19M
How to install it(Menu):
1 - after starting the game open file common.lua (path: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\iw5\ui), open it with notepad, find
function Popup_AddButton_Advanced(menu, text, xpos, ypos, width, onclickcb, onfocuscb, isvisiblecb, isenabledcb)add after menu:AddItem(button) (end function)
return button2 - copy source and create new file(Ex: weapons.lua) in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Plutonium\storage\iw5\ui_mp
3 - Start private match(your can open menu in dedicate server or ingame menu)
4 - open console and write command
openmenu weapon_class_selector

Greetings RosamahaI achieved work only in Private Match, it will not work on a dedicated server
But you will have to make small improvements, add a small piece of codeChai
// ChaiScript (giweWeapon not work(i getting crush)) level.onNotify("connected", fun(args) { var player = args[0]; // Trying jump notify for check currnetly selected weapon player.onNotify("jumped", fun(player) { if(gsc.getDvar("weapon") != "null") { player.iprintlnbold(gsc.getDvar("weapon")); } }); });LUA
// Example(but add Game.SetDvar for all OnClick event) weapon_m16a4 = Popup_AddButton_Advanced(weapons, "M16A4", -225, -40, 450, function(menu, item) -- on click // ADDED Game.SetDvar("weapon", "iw5_m16a4_mp") Game.CloseMenu("assault_class"); end, function(menu, item) -- on focus weapon_icon_assault:SetMaterial("weapon_m16a4") weapon_info_assault:SetText("Short burst shot") end, nil, nil, nil) -
