Question about input limit - jasperschellekens - 07.02.2018

So if i am right the limit of dialog_style_input is 128.
Is there another kind of way with a bigger input box which allows more characters?
Or a way to bypass this limit?

Re: Question about input limit - solstice_ - 07.02.2018

PHP код:



#define DIALOG_INPUT 0


CMD:input(playerid, params[])

{

    new input[2000];

    strcat(input, "Put your 128+ characters message here.");

    ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_INPUT, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Input", input, "Okay", "Cancel");

    return 1;

}

Not sure if that's what you meant.

thank you but you misunderstood. When you display DIALOG_INPUT it only allows you to enter 128 characters right? i assume that because that is the limit.
I need to know how i can add more then 128.

I need that because when you create a note in the system i am creating it uses alot more then 128 characters and i want players be able to enter bigger notes.

Unfortunately, you can't bypass this limit. It's like asking if we can bypass the input chattext limit. Sorry for you!

Re: Question about input limit - Gammix - 07.02.2018

No you cannot bypass the limit.

What you can do is show multiple input dialogs and strcat your global string untill player decides to finish.

Make secondary button a finish input button or check if player writes a special keyword in input field like "end" or "finish".

Thank you for the response.
I think bigger input boxes should be included in a next samp update :P

@Gammix i am going to do that thank you for the tip

@Dayrion of course it is like asking if we can bypass the input chattext limit because that is exactly what i did.

I'm wondering how did you do that.

I wondering How you noticed

OT:
If anyone does want to do the same thing like i, this code will work:

PHP код:



           new tmpinput[128], filepl[64], tmpoldinput[2000], tmpnewinput[2000];

            format(tmpinput, sizeof(tmpinput), "%s", inputtext);

            format(filepl, sizeof(filepl), "Accounts/%s.ini", GetName(playerid));

            format(tmpoldinput, sizeof(tmpoldinput), "%s", INI_Get(filepl,"MDCCreateNoteTemp"));

            format(tmpnewinput, sizeof(tmpnewinput), "%s %s", tmpoldinput, tmpinput);

            INI_Set(filepl,"MDCCreateNoteTemp",tmpnewinput);

You might have to edit it, but it will give you the feeling of how it works.
