Welcome to my tutorial on creating a dialog music player.

First, we will need direct links to the MP3 or radiostation or other files.

Keep them in a notepad file for now.

I have "http://brp.comlu.com/downloads/loginaudio.mp3" I'll just use that for them all.


Second You want to create the command it self.

if you are using strcmp:

under OnPlayerCommandText

put the command you want

pawn Code:

if(strcmp(cmd, "/heal", true) == 0)

then we want the dialog to show.

here is ShowPlayerDialog explained:

pawn Code:

ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, dialogid, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, Dialog Title"", MenuItems"", Button 1: "Stop Music", Button 2:"Exit");

• playerid - to show the dialog to the player that typed the cmd
• dialogid - the id of the dialog to link it with OnDialogResponse
• DIALOG_STYLE_LIST - The type of dialog it is
• Dialog Title - simply the title of the dialog e.g. "Music Player"
• Menu Items - the items in the menu, seperate with \n
• Button 1 - the first button, I have "Stop Music"
• Button 2 - The second button - I have "Exit"
  

here is mine :

pawn Code:

ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 2, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "Music Player", "Music No 1\nNo 2\n No 3\n No 4\n No5", "Stop Music", "Exit");

You want to add that line followed by return 1; then bracket the cmd of.

My strcmp cmd:

pawn Code:

if(strcmp(cmd, "/music", true) == 0)
 {
    ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 2, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "Music Player", "Music No 1\nNo 2\n No 3\n No 4\n No5", "Stop Music", "Exit");
    return 1;
 }

DCMD :

pawn Code:

dcmd_music(playerid, params[])
 {
    ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 2, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "Music Player", "Music No 1\nNo 2\n No 3\n No 4\n No5", "Stop Music", "Exit");
    return 1;
 }

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    dcmd(music, 5, cmdtext);
    return 0;
}

I don't need to explain anymore on simple cmds....

Third
We want the buttons to actually do something...

so search for

pawn Code:

public OnDialogResponse

Now we want the check to see if they opened the right dialog, using the dialog id you put; I put 2 for the dialog ID.

then we want the base of the code

pawn Code:

public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
    if(dialogid == 2)
    {
        if(response)
        {
            switch(listitem)
            {
                case 0:
                {
                    //Selected Item: "Music No 1"
                }
                case 1:
                {
                    //Selected Item: "No 2"
                }
                case 2:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No 3"
                }
                case 3:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No 4"
                }
                case 4:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No5"
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //The player has pressed "Stop Music".
            switch(listitem
            {
                case 0:
                {
                    //Selected Item: "Music No 1"
                }
                case 1:
                {
                    //Selected Item: "No 2"
                }
                case 2:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No 3"
                }
                case 3:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No 4"
                }
                case 4:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No5"
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Explained :

• First check (if(dialogid) == 2) - thats checking if its the right dialog (put your dialog id you entered on the ShowPlayerDialog on the second option
• if(response) - if they double clicked on the item, add the PlayAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid, URL:"");
• case 0 - what ever amount of music you have - its the menu item, case 0 is the first song
• } else { - Button 2 - Stop Music, place StopAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid); under each case

After you have scripted it... it should look like this!

pawn Code:

public OnDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
    if(dialogid == 2)
    {
        if(response)
        {
            switch(listitem))
            {
                case 0:
                {
                    //Selected Item: "Music No 1"
                    PlayAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid, "http://brp.comlu.com/downloads/loginaudio.mp3");
                    return 1;
                }
                case 1:
                {
                    //Selected Item: "No 2"
                    PlayAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid, "http://brp.comlu.com/downloads/loginaudio.mp3");
                    return 1;
                }
                case 2:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No 3"
                    PlayAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid, "http://brp.comlu.com/downloads/loginaudio.mp3");
                    return 1;
                }
                case 3:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No 4"
                    PlayAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid, "http://brp.comlu.com/downloads/loginaudio.mp3");
                    return 1;
                }
                case 4:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No5"
                    PlayAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid, "http://brp.comlu.com/downloads/loginaudio.mp3");
                    return 1;
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            //The player has pressed "Stop Music".
            StopAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid);
            switch(listitem
            {
                case 0:
                {
                    //Selected Item: "Music No 1"
                    StopAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid);
                    return 1;
                }
                case 1:
                {
                    //Selected Item: "No 2"
                    StopAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid);
                    return 1;
                }
                case 2:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No 3"
                    StopAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid);
                    return 1;
                }
                case 3:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No 4"
                    StopAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid);
                    return 1;
                }
                case 4:
                {
                    //Selected Item: " No5"
                    StopAudioStreamForPlayer(playerid);
                    return 1;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return 0;
