Alternative Dialogs

by Nexius

Description:

Alternative Dialogs - dialogs with a new design.
They have nearly all of the functions that the default dialogs have, but they can be used together.
The new design drawn via textdraws, it will radically change the interface of your server.

How do they look:

AD_STYLE_LIST / SKINS


To choose any of the available skins, just write the following before connecting the include:

Code:

#define AD_SKIN_1 //1 - ID of the skin

Functions:

• ShowPlayerAltDialog(playerid, dialogid, style, caption[], info[], button1[], button2[] = "") - use to show the dialog for a player
• OnAltDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem) - called when a player "response" on the dialog
• GetPlayerAltDialog(playerid) - use to get a player's current dialog ID

How to install:

Download alt_dialogs.inc by the link below.

Include it to the desired gamemode thus:

Code:

#include <alt_dialogs>

And recompile your script.

Then you can use any of the available above features in your script.

Example usage:

Code:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
	if(!strcmp("/wdialog", cmdtext, true)) return cmd_wdialog(playerid);
	return 0;
}

forward cmd_wdialog(playerid);
public cmd_wdialog(playerid)
{
	ShowPlayerAltDialog(playerid, 0, AD_STYLE_LIST, "Weapons", "AK47\nM4\nSniper Rifle", "Ok", "Cancel");
	return 1;
}

public OnAltDialogResponse(playerid, dialogid, response, listitem)
{
	if(dialogid == 0)
	{
		if(response == 1)
		{
			switch(listitem)
			{
				case 0: GivePlayerWeapon(playerid, 30, 100);
				case 1: GivePlayerWeapon(playerid, 31, 100);
				case 2: GivePlayerWeapon(playerid, 34, 50);
			}
			return 1;
		}
	}
	return 0;
}

Frequently asked Questions:

Q: How to hide the dialog shown?
A: This can be done like in default dialogs.
Use ShowPlayerAltDialog function, specifying dialogid parameter with a value of -1

Q: What does the response parameter mean with the value of 2 in OnAltDialogResponse?
A: This means that the dialog was closed by pressing the "cross" button or by ESC

Q: How to make the separate words in the dialog colored?
