Help making a long dialog list using strings - AIped - 03.12.2013

Hello there,

I made this simple command that shows a clientmessage with all companynames.
Since there are very much of them and i want to add them simply i wanted to put them into a dialog with using the same format.

pawn Код:

if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/soldornot", true))
    {
        new hugestring[500];
        for(new h = 0; h < MAX_COMPANIES; h++)
        {
        format(hugestring, sizeof(hugestring),"%s",CompanyNames[h]);
        SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_ORANGE,hugestring);
        }
        return 1;
    }

Unfortunatly this does not work well with a dialog;

pawn Код:

ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,BANK_DIALOGID,DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"Company's",hugestring,"Info","Exit");

I can only see the last company name in the dialog. I searched a bit and found one person with a simular problem but i didnt realy understand their conclusion.

Help will obviously become a +rep and 7 years of luck XD

Код:

format(hugestring, sizeof(hugestring),"%s %d",CompanyNames[h],);

You are trying to declare 2 variables yet you only displaying 1.

Код:

"%s %d",CompanyNames[h],);

See the "," and then you close the code, you should be defining what "%d" is... Currently only "%s" is being used.

Hope it makes sense

aahh crap i was showing the wrong example it should be without the %d..(changed edited the post now) the thing is i just want a list of (companie) names into a dialog
using a loop and one string

It has a clientmessage..i need it in a dialog

I didn't even notice, I just editted the format.
Here you go:

pawn Код:

if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/soldornot", true))
{
    new hugestring[500];
    for(new h = 0; h != MAX_COMPANIES; h++)
        format(hugestring, sizeof(hugestring),"%s%s\n", hugestring, CompanyNames[h]);
    ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, BANK_DIALOGID, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "Company's", hugestring, "Info", "Exit");
    return 1;
}

    return 1;
}

....if i try it with a clientmessage instead is does work though..i still only see the last cmpany

There's nothing wrong with that code, your problem is elsewhere.
