[Highly code needed, take your time. I NEED -YOUR- HELP.]

Hey guys.

I'm just trying to create a showplayerdialog (list) that will read the items from a file.
But when I'm running the script there are no errors or warnings but there is no items in the list box.

This is my code:

pawn Код:

new getItems[256];
format(getItems, 256, "%s\r\n%s\r\n%s", DOF2_GetString(User, "item2", "section"), DOF2_GetString(User, "item2", "section"), DOF2_GetString(User, "item3", "section"));

ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 0, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "List", getItems , "Go", "Cancel");

Thanks for anyone who'll try to help me with this. another code will be very helpful.

try increase string lenght

Anyone?

Did you check these items on a regular chat? are they even working?

[Micheal_]

Yes, they are.
I think that the way that I created the format of them (see above) is just incorrect.
Someone got another sugesstion? maybe write for me just a code like as you doing this?

Let's leave my code from now, I need you to write for me your way to make a list dialog with strings from file.

Thanks.

Try this, that might work for you.

pawn Код:

new getItems[256];
new str[256];
format(getItems, 256, "%s\r\n%s\r\n%s", DOF2_GetString(User, "item2", "section"), DOF2_GetString(User, "item2", "section"), DOF2_GetString(User, "item3", "section"));
strcat(str, getItems, sizeof(str));
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 0, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "List", str , "Go", "Cancel");

You need to do something with your string size, or calculate anything since 256 is higher. However, try this first.

This is the way I do it, might be helpful.

pawn Код:

format(diagstr, sizeof(diagstr), "ID\tDuel Name\n");
                    for(new x=0; x<MAX_DUELS; x++)
                    {
                        format(dFile, sizeof(dFile), DUELFILES, x);
                        if(strlen(dini_Get(dFile, "duelName")) > 0) format(diagstr, sizeof(diagstr), "%s%d\t%s\n", diagstr, x, dini_Get(dFile, "duelName"));
                        else format(diagstr, sizeof(diagstr), "%s%d\tEmpty Slot\n", diagstr, x);
                    }
                    ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DUELDIAG+2, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "Duel List", diagstr, "Select", "Exit");

It formats the string until the loop is over, then it shows the resulting string.

Can you make your code compatible with mine? I tried with no success.
I mean that I got 3 items that I need to get from a file.

item 1: DOF2_GetString(User, "item1", "ITEMS");
item 2: DOF2_GetString(User, "item2", "ITEMS");
item 3: DOF2_GetString(User, "item3", "ITEMS");

Thanks (!)

EliranPesahov - Your code returns an empty list. thanks anyway.

Try this. Make sure you are using the file functions correctly and make sure you are formatting the string that stores the file directory.

pawn Код:

new items[250], key[8];
//Make sure you are formatting the "User" string before this
//-format(User, sizeof(User), USER_FILE, pName); //replace with ur file code..
for(new x=0; x<3; x++) //Starts with 0.  (Loop 0-2)
{
    format(key, sizeof(key), "item%d", x+1);
    format(items, sizeof(items), "%s%s\n", items, DOF2_GetString(User, key, "ITEMS")); //Continue formatting the string with the file value's until the loop ends
}
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 0, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "List", items, "Go", "Cancel");
