changing how loadout is used

#1 Whilst not having used them specifically, I expect that "Drop Down Menus" have an onAction Callback like all other buttons (or something similar) where you can add a variable and then equip the player based on if(%variable == whatever) etc.

1. Load mission with custom Gametype
2. Spawn camera but have your "weapon selection gui" display
3. Select weapon, add variable.
4. Press go, pass variable to spawn/equip player functions

#2 Build by hand or use the gui editor to make a guipopupmenuctrl:

MyPopup = new GuiPopUpMenuCtrl() {
  maxPopupHeight = "200";
  sbUsesNAColor = "0";
  reverseTextList = "0";
  bitmapBounds = "16 16";
  maxLength = "1024";
  margin = "0 0 0 0";
  padding = "0 0 0 0";
  anchorTop = "1";
  anchorBottom = "0";
  anchorLeft = "1";
  anchorRight = "0";
  isContainer = "0";
  profile = "GuiPopUpMenuProfile";
  horizSizing = "right";
  vertSizing = "bottom";
  position = "0 0";
  extent = "206 20";
  canSave = "1";
  visible = "1";
  tooltipprofile = "GuiToolTipProfile";
  canSaveDynamicFields = "0";
};

MyPopup.command = "thefcnyouwanttocallonselect(MyPopup.getValue());";
MyPopup.add("The Displayed Option 1", "the value 1");
MyPopup.add("The Displayed Option 2", "the value 2");
MyPopup.add("The Displayed Option 3", "the value 3");

This will call if you select the second option:
thefcnyouwanttocallonselect("the value 2");

Do a GuiPopUpMenuCtrl.dump() in the console if you need more info... you can color code the popup list for example using a third parameter.

#3 Hi again, thanks for the replys.

Bennett i tested your example form but it contain a error or two i need to ask about.

the first row "MyPopup = new GuiPopUpMenuCtrl() {"

the "MyPopup =" is a syntax error i think you just put it there to show "this is the gui function" but what i cant figure out is where to make the connection between the myPopup.command/MyPopup.add and the guipopipMenuCtrl lines.
Using MyPopup as name does not give me any result and the line 25 in your example gives me a error for it instead i guess because it cant find the guipopupmenuctrl called "MyPopup".

This is what i got so far:

new GuiPopUpMenuCtrl(MyPopup) {
maxPopupHeight = "200";
sbUsesNAColor = "0";
reverseTextList = "0";
bitmapBounds = "16 16";
maxLength = "1024";
margin = "0 0 0 0";
padding = "0 0 0 0";
anchorTop = "1";
anchorBottom = "0";
anchorLeft = "1";
anchorRight = "0";
position = "24 115";
extent = "259 19";
minExtent = "8 2";
horizSizing = "right";
vertSizing = "bottom";
profile = "GuiPopUpMenuProfile";
visible = "1";
active = "1";
tooltipProfile = "GuiToolTipProfile";
hovertime = "1000";
isContainer = "0";
canSave = "1";
canSaveDynamicFields = "0";
};

MyPopup.command = Loadout_configstg1(MyPopup.getValue());
MyPopup.add("Weapon 01", %Loadout_MweaponValue = 1);
MyPopup.add("Weapon 02", %Loadout_MweaponValue = 2);
MyPopup.add("Weapon 03", %Loadout_MweaponValue = 3);

Is there something i have miss understood

Best regards

#4 Back again!

Fixed the Gui side of the problem its worknig beautiful now.
I decided to go with a button based gui instead of a menu oriented one and i simply used a set of variables to configure it.

This is how i built it:

Variable decided by button > press !SPAWN! > Sending server command > sending second command to server calling Weapon_Spawn > Weapon_Spawn finds a spawnsphere and spawn a player then calls loadout(error on loadout)

(Weapon_Spawn function is located within the game mode itself)
(Server gets a different variable number based on what weapon you picked)

So the problem at hand is that i have moved Loadout/Spawn/prepareplayer scripts from gamecore to the gamemode and when tested that way it worked fine.
Then i moved loadout to be called via another function (Weapon_spawn) and now it give me:
Scripts/server/****.cs (150): unknown command loadout.
Object LocalClientConnection(10159) LocalClient Connection -> GameConnection -> GameConnection -> NetConnection -> SimGroup -> SimSet -> SimObject

This is the main 2 parts of the code:

function ****::Weapon_Spawn(%game, %client)
{
%playerSpawnPoint = pickPlayerSpawnPoint($Game::DefaultPlayerSpawnGroups, %client);
%game.spawnPlayer(%client, %playerSpawnPoint);

%game.loadOut(%client.player);
}

function DeathMatchGame::loadOut(%game, %player)
{
%Weapon_Pick = $Weapon_Selected;
%Weapon_Pick_Second = $Weapon_Selected_Second;

echo("Beginning Loadout");

if(%Weapon_Pick == 1)
{
echo("Condition met! spawnning with ****");
%player.setInventory(****, 1 );
%player.setInventory(****Ammo, %player.maxInventory(****Ammo));
%player.mountImage(****Image, 0);
}
else
{
echo("condition not met! you did not pick ****!");
}

if(%Weapon_Pick == 2)
{
echo("Condition met! spawnning with ****");
%player.setInventory(****, 1);
%player.setInventory(****Ammo, %player.maxInventory(****Ammo));
%player.mountImage(****, 0);
}
else
{
echo("condition not met! you did not pick ****!");
}

if(%Weapon_Pick == 3)
{
echo("Condition met! spawnning with ****");
%player.setInventory(****, 1);
%player.setInventory(****Ammo, %player.maxInventory(****Ammo));
%player.mountImage(****Image, 0);
}
else
{
echo("condition not met! you did not pick ****!");
}

if(%Weapon_Pick_Second == 1)
{
echo("Condition met! spawnning with ****");
%player.setInventory(****, 1);
%player.setInventory(****Ammo, %player.maxInventory(****Ammo));
%player.mountImage(****Image, 0);
}
else
{
echo("condition not met! you did not pick ****!");
}
}

($Weapon_Selected; $Weapon_Selected_Second; is defined when loadout is first called)

Best regards and thanks in advance!
