userfunction_mmdialogs
Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2015 4:43 am
hello there,
this is a small userfunction for adding some questions into your waypoint files. I often use the same file and dont want to edit variables by hand for every different usage. So I wrote some little functions to display a little dialog within the mm-window to set variables on startup.
It would be nice if someone has a way to handle this dialogs also ingame 
function UMMD_chooseFlag (text, default)

-- arguments:

-- default - [optional] default value (boolean)
--

function UMMD_chooseNumber (min, max, text)

--

-- text - [optional] text to display

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function UMMD_chooseList (list, text)

Code: Select all
examples:
local flag = UMMD_chooseFlag ('do you want to use home runes to change class?', false)
local num = UMMD_chooseNumber (0, inventory:itemTotalCount (??????), 'how many ??????')
local num = UMMD_chooseClass (68, 'class to accept demonstration battle')
local key = UMMD_chooseList ({ ['l']='left, ['r']='right', ['d']='down', ['u']='up'}, 'which direction?')
