Creating a looong MsgBox - [L3th4l] - 12.08.2010

So as the title, i tried several ways to get a looong msg box. but always get the "Input too long after substitution" error

I seen several servers using long msg box, for example- the ones in gamerx.

So yeah, i was wondering how it should be done. Thanx

"Input too long after substitution" is pawno wise, just go somewhere in the middle of the line and press enter, it will work.

You'll have to merge several smaller strings to make a longer one.

pawn Код:

new
    myLongString[2048] = "This is the first half of my string. It's quite long. ";

strcat(myLongString, "We can make it longer by adding to the string at ");
strcat(myLongString, "runtime. That's pretty cool nifty huh? It would be ");
strcat(myLongString, "nicer if we could do this before compiling, but oh ");
strcat(myLongString, "well. Please note this is all on one line. There are ");
strcat(myLongString, "no newline characters present in the strings.");

print(myLongString); // Print it just incase the ShowPlayerDialog doesn't work.
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 7331, DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX, "Test", myLongString, "OK", "NOT OK");

I'm not sure if ShowPlayerDialog will show a dialog this wide, however the theory behind making a long string using strcat should work.

On top:

pawn Код:

new LongDialog [1024];

OnGameModeInit

pawn Код:

SetUpMyText();

Example cmd for long dialog:

pawn Код:

CMD:longdialog(playerid, params[])
{
    ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,69333, DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX,"Long Dialog.",LongDialog, "Okay", "Exit");
    return 1;
}

And anywhere in script:

pawn Код:

SetUpMyText()
{
    LongDialog = "Bla bla bla \n";
    strcat(LongDialog, "Bla bla.\n");
    strcat(LongDialog, "Bla bla.\n");
    return 1;
}

You can go on with long dialogs on strcat.
