[Tutorial] [TUT] How to create a dialog. (Includes responding)
#1

Hello, this will show you how to make the 3 types of dialog, and how to respond to them.

Dialog 1: Message Box
Can be used for welcoming someone to a server, or for showing the rules of a server.

This example will show you how to create a welcoming box when players connect.
_________________________________________________
pawn Код:
ShowPlayerDialog([PLAYER ID],[Dialog ID],DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX,"[Welcoming Title]","[Your Welcome Message]""Continue","Quit");
Let's break it up.

Код:
ShowPlayerDialog         - This of course is the function to show the dialog.
PLAYER ID            - Who do we show it to?
Dialog ID            - What is the ID of the Dialog? This can be completely made up as we are only using it later on.
DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX       - Well, we want the dialog to be a message box, like a welcome message.
[Welcoming Title]        - The title of the Dialog, this can be anything, like 'Welcome to my server!'
[Your Welcome Message]      - Well, we need a welcome message if you are welcoming people!
Continue             - Just the button they use to connect to the server
Quit               - In this tutorial, it will kick the player if they click Quit.
Here is an example of a MSG BOX

pawn Код:
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,1338,DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX,"Full Metal Jacket","Welcome!\t\tHave fun on the Server!\nOwners:\t\tBen_Mitch - PowerSurge\nHead Admins:\t\tMasterD - Transporter","Play","Quit");
More complicated code!

Код:
\n  -  Creates a new line
\t  -  Creates a space, like pressing Tab in Pawno
Now for the Dialog Response (When they click "Continue" or "Quit"
_________________________________________________
pawn Код:
public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
if(dialogid == 1338) {
        if(response) {
          SendClientMessage(playerid,ORANGE, "Have Fun!");
        } else {
          SendClientMessage(playerid, RED, "You selected 'Quit'. Goodbye!");
            Kick(playerid);
          }
        return 1;
    }
return 0;
}
Break it down.
Код:
public OnDialogResponse   - The public function.. Not much i need to say..
if(dialogid == Dialog_ID)  - Where 'Dialog_ID' is, replace with the ID of your Dialog
if(response)         - Did the player click the first button? (Here it's Continue)
SendClientMessage      - Sends the player a message you choose.
else             - If the player clicked button 2... (Here it's Quit)
Kick(playerid);       - Kicks the player. He did want to quit after all!
return 1;          - End of the dialog response...
return 0;          - End of the public function.
_________________________________________________
Input Box

Input boxes are used for inputting text into a Dialog, like logging in...

Let's have a look at them.
pawn Код:
GetPlayerName(playerid,loginname,MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
      format(loginmsg,256,"Account:\t%s\n\nPlease enter your password below:",loginname);
        ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,1337,DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT,"Log-in!",loginmsg,"Login","Skip");
Break it down..
Код:
GetPlayerName    - Quite beginner to you Pawno Scripters. Does what it says.
format(login.....  - Used here to format the string containing the Player's name. You may replace loginmsg on the bottom line with anything you want.
ShowPlayerDialog.. - DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, The INPUT dialog style. Defines the dialog.
"Log-in!"      - Dialog box title.
loginmsg      - We formatted loginmsg above. You can replace this with your own message.
Login        - First button
Skip        - Second button
This can be used anywhere, OnPlayerCommandText, OnPlayerConnect...

DIALOG RESPONSE
(This is for my login command, so i'll just give you my whole response)
pawn Код:
if(dialogid == Dialog_ID) {
        if(response) {
        new plname[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
            GetPlayerName(playerid, plname, sizeof(plname));
            format(string, sizeof(string), "%s.ini", plname);
            if(!fexist(string))
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid, RED, "That account isn't registered.");
            }
            //strmid(tmppass, tmp, 0, strlen(cmdtext), 255);
          OnPlayerLogin(playerid,inputtext);
        } else {
          SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, "You selected Skip");
          }
        return 1;.
    }
_________________________________________________
Selection Boxes

This can be used for selecting a Quit Message, Spawning a weapon/vehicle or Teleports.
Example: Weapon Spawning

pawn Код:
new listitems[] = "1\tDesert Eagle\n2\tSilenced Pistol\n3\tSawn-Off Shotgun\n4\tCombat Shotgun\n5\tRPG-7\n6\tAK47\n7\tM4\n8\tLong White Vibrator\n9\tPurple Dildo\n10\tShort White Vibrator\n11\tSilver Vibrator\n12\tMac 10 (Micro Uzi)\n";
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid,2,DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"List of weapons:",listitems,"Get Gun","Cancel");
Let's break this one down.

Код:
new listitems[]  - The items in the list. Used for indexing them so they can be used in the DialogResponse
1\tDesertEagle   - The '1' is to show which List Item Number it is. In the dialog response, minus 1 from the item number. The \t was explained earlier.
ShowPlayerDialog  - Told you already 3 times.
DIALOG_STYLE_LIST - To tell the Server that this is a LIST dialog, not an input or message box
EXAMPLE RESPONSE:

pawn Код:
if(dialogid == 2) { //Our Dialog ID.
        if(response) {
            new message[256+1];
            if(listitem == 0) { // List item -1
                format(message, 256, "You selected 'Desert Eagle'", listitem);
            SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, message);
            GivePlayerWeapon (playerid, 24, 500); // The output of the selection
            } else if(listitem == 1) {
                format(message, 256, "You selected 'Silenced Pistol'", listitem);
            SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, message);
            GivePlayerWeapon (playerid, 23, 500);
{
As you can see, on my list Desert Eagle is ID 1, but on the response, it's 0.

All yours is complicated and doesnt even include Dialog Response.

Waste of space imo

It must be indented if my pawno doesn't give out indentation warnings :/
And no, i didn't define my tabsize as 0.

pawn only checks if it is a multiple of tabsize, so if it is 4, it could be indented 0 4 8 12... but 1 2 3 5 6 7 9... would give warnings
yours:
pawn Code:
public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
if(dialogid == 1338) {
if(response) {
  SendClientMessage(playerid,ORANGE, "Have Fun!");
} else {
  SendClientMessage(playerid, RED, "You selected 'Quit'. Goodbye!");
Kick(playerid);
  }
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
yours properly indented:
pawn Code:
public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
  if(dialogid == 1338) {
    if(response) {
      SendClientMessage(playerid,ORANGE, "Have Fun!");
    } else {
      SendClientMessage(playerid, RED, "You selected 'Quit'. Goodbye!");
      Kick(playerid);
    }
    return 1;
  }
  return 0;
}
my edit of yours:
pawn Code:
public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
  if(dialogid == 1338)
  {
    if(response)
    {
      SendClientMessage(playerid,ORANGE, "Have Fun!");
    }
    else
    {
      SendClientMessage(playerid, RED, "You selected 'Quit'. Goodbye!");
      Kick(playerid);
    }
    return 1;
  }
  return 0;
}

just wondering, what caused you to have write it as "[TUT]" in full caps, seems odd since it is an abbreviation, not a acronym. CIA (in full caps), Mrs. (first letter). I was just curious.

hey darn why don't you get off this topic and pay attention to yours. There's really no need to argue. So what theres 2 of the same tutorial in my opinion this one is more easy.
