[Suggestion] Change the pause and resume button

[botje]

hi there, i was wondering, for us who bot while their present, would it not be handy to have
enter as the pause, AND resume button?

that way if you have to reply to chat, you pause bot while talking back, and as soon as you press enter again, it would resume.

a kind of toggle, tied in to the chat system sort of speak, what do you guys think?

u can easily edit bindings, i dont remeber where thoug, search the forum for it

EDIT: oh i found it:

I'm in favor of changing it, or making it configurable.

I guess you could say it is already configurable. Just change line 12 of settings.lua

Code: Select all

		START_BOT = {key = _G.key.VK_DELETE, modifier = nil},

So the question is should the default be changed from "DELETE"?

[botje]

yes, i know, but that is not a toggle.

i think that has to be 2 seperate buttons.

woot? pause is "end" and star is "del" so how theyre same? or am i missing smt?

[swietlowka]

oh i get it u want a pause when starting to use chat clever idea, havent though of that, im not quite sure if its possible anyway

[botje]

guess you didnt understand right, those are 2 seperate buttons, a toggle is 1 button that turns on/off when pressed.

and i want 1 button, enter, because thats what ya use to start or send chat ^^

edit:
yes exactly, thast what i would love to see

[hellburns]

changing start and pause to the Return key crashes the bot

[swietlowka]

maybe try to change the binding to an enter and see what happends?

[botje]

yeah, i thought that would happen, thast why i made a thread to ask the Devs to consider it

would be a nice option ^^

edit:
wont work on same button.

What happens if they get out of sinc?

Eg. Say chat opens by mistake like when you press 'ctrl-s'. rombot sends garbage to chat so you press enter to close chat but the bot stops. So you press enter to start the bot but chat opens.

So I don't think it's a good idea to have them both the same. Having just 1 as 'enter' could be useful for those that chat a lot but not for others though.

well, i hoped we could register a event, or a flag setting the variable for the bot, so it switches its value between 1 en 0 sort of speak.

that would keep track of it right? and i saw somewhere on the forum you can registera event for the chat thingy.

Rombot can't register events like game addons unfortunately.
