Run script from dialog
« on: 23 May 2005, 08:17:19 »
I've just started using dialogs in my missions. I have a dialog with a list box of missions you can choose to do. I cant figure out how to script things so that when you select a mission from the list and then hit the "select mission" button, a script will run  :P


EDIT: forgot to mention, more options appear in the list at random times

believe it or not, the answer is in the tutorial you have very likely read by vektorboson. the answer lies in the 'action' part of your class definition.

for example, i have a dialogue which has three choices in a drop down menu. the select button at the bottom has the following action:

Code: [Select]
action = "closeDialog 0;[] exec {satcomm_image.sqs} ";

which closes the dialogue and runs the script. the script contains all the stuff which senses what has been selected in the dialogue. you'll get the hang of it - the tutorial is very well written ;)
