FR Gui...

[[DemoN]]

I've added a button to my FR Gui called 'icons'. When I click icons button, a window appears.

Here is my code ( in fr_client.lua below the setskin command and setskin window):

---------------------------- 
-------- Icon window ------- 
---------------------------- 
  
wndIcon = { 
    'wnd', 
    text = 'Icon Window', 
    width = 250, 
    controls = { 
        { 
            'lst', 
            id='iconlist', 
            width=230, 
            height=280, 
            columns={ 
                {text='Icons', attr='name'} 
            }, 
            rows={xml='icons.xml', attrs={'id', 'name'}}, 
            onitemdoubleclick=function(leaf) attachElements(leaf, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) end 
        }, 
        {'btn', id='Use', onclick=attachElements}, 
        {'btn', id='Close', closeswindow=true} 
    } 
} 

I have preapared an icons.xml file:

<catalog type="icons"> 
        <object id="1559" name="Arrow" /> 
        <object id="954" name="Horse Shoe" /> 
        <object id="1212" name="Money" /> 
        <object id="1239" name="Newbie (Info Icon)" /> 
        <object id="1240" name="Fall in Love" /> 
        <object id="1241" name="Drug" /> 
        <object id="1242" name="Safe" /> 
        <object id="1247" name="I am popular" /> 
        <object id="1254" name="Serial Killer" /> 
        <object id="1274" name="Rich" /> 
        <object id="1275" name="Poor" /> 
        <object id="1276" name="Magic" /> 
        <object id="2768" name="Hunger" /> 
        <object id="2916" name="Strong" /> 
        <object id="953" name="Searching Strange Things" /> 
</catalog> 

I want to make that: When I click an item in grid list, selected item will be attached to source (attachElementToElement(selectedItem, source, 0, 0, 1.5, 0, 0, 0)) and without collisions like that:

but as you can see (look at first picture) there is no item in the grid list and i don't know where to put setElementCollisionsEnabled function -.- Please Help Me!

Your XML file is wrong, use this:

<catalog type="icon"> 
        <icon name="Arrow" id="1559" /> 
        <icon name="Horse Shoe" id="954" /> 
        <icon name="Money" id="1212" /> 
        <icon name="Newbie (Info Icon)" id="1239" /> 
        <icon name="Fall in Love" id="1240" /> 
        <icon name="Drug" id="1241" /> 
        <icon name="Safe" id="1242" /> 
        <icon name="I am popular" id="1247" /> 
        <icon name="Serial Killer" id="1254" /> 
        <icon name="Rich" id="1274" /> 
        <icon name="Poorid" id="1275" /> 
        <icon name="Magic" id="1276" /> 
        <icon name="Hunger" id="2768" /> 
        <icon name="Strong" id="2916" /> 
        <icon name="Searching Strange Things" id="953" />    
</catalog>

onitemdoubleclick=function(leaf) attachElements(leaf, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) end 

("g_Me = getLocalPlayer()")

List is ok but check my debugscript:

it says bad argument @ attachElements

[JR10]

function(leaf) attachElements(leaf, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) end 

if this function is onClientGUIDoubleClick then leaf is not the icon it is

The Parameters for the event

string button, string state, int absoluteX, int absoluteY 

you should do this

function getIconIDByName(name) 
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType('icon')) do 
if getElementData(v, 'name') == name then 
return tonumber(getElementData(v, 'id')) 
end 
end 
end 

Use the above function function to retrieve the icon id from it's name you can get the name by

the below is onClientGUIDoubleClick

function onDoubleClick(botton, state) 
local row, column = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(IconGridList) 
local text = guiGridListGetItemText(IconGridList, row, column) 
local icon = getIconIDByName(text) 
local leaf = createPickup(0, 0, 0, 3, icon) 
attachElements(leaf, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) 

but make sure to change IconGridList to your gridlist.

[[DemoN]]

wndIcon = { 
    'wnd', 
    text = 'Icon Window', 
    width = 250, 
    controls = { 
        { 
            'lst', 
            id='IconGridList', 
            width=230, 
            height=280, 
            columns={ 
                {text='Icons', attr='name'} 
            }, 
            rows={xml='icons.xml', attrs={'id', 'name'}}, 
  
            function getIconIDByName(name) 
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType('icon')) do 
if getElementData(v, 'name') == name then 
return tonumber(getElementData(v, 'id')) 
end 
end 
end 
  
function onDoubleClick(botton, state) 
local row, column = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(IconGridList) 
local text = guiGridListGetItemText(IconGridList, row, column) 
local icon = getIconIDByName(text) 
local leaf = createPickup(0, 0, 0, 3, icon) 
attachElements(leaf, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) 
        }, 
        {'btn', id='Use', onclick=attachElements}, 
        {'btn', id='Close', closeswindow=true} 
    } 
} 
  

I have changed my script like that but i think it's wrong ( I have edited it wrong. I don't say your informations are wrong ) when I press F1, nothing happens

[JR10]

i forgot an end

here

wndIcon = { 
    'wnd', 
    text = 'Icon Window', 
    width = 250, 
    controls = { 
        { 
            'lst', 
            id='IconGridList', 
            width=230, 
            height=280, 
            columns={ 
                {text='Icons', attr='name'} 
            }, 
            rows={xml='icons.xml', attrs={'id', 'name'}}, 
  
            function getIconIDByName(name) 
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType('icon')) do 
if getElementData(v, 'name') == name then 
return tonumber(getElementData(v, 'id')) 
end 
end 
end 
  
function onDoubleClick(botton, state) 
local row, column = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(IconGridList) 
local text = guiGridListGetItemText(IconGridList, row, column) 
local icon = getIconIDByName(text) 
local leaf = createPickup(0, 0, 0, 3, icon) 
attachElements(leaf, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) 
end 
        }, 
        {'btn', id='Use', onclick=attachElements}, 
        {'btn', id='Close', closeswindow=true} 
    } 
} 
  

Sorry.

And i never edited the FR but is this right??

{'btn', id='Use', onclick=attachElements} 

shouldn't it be

{'btn', id='Use', onclick=onDoubleClick} 

im just saying, i never looked in the FR resource before so maybe you are right.

[[DemoN]]

And i never edited the FR but is this right??

No but I have same problem again and my debugscript says:

 '(' expected near 'getIconIDByName' 

[JR10]

Hmm put the two functions outside wndIcon,

if this happens again post the line.

[[DemoN]]

I'm going to be crazy!!!

---------------------------- 
-------- Icon window ------- 
---------------------------- 
  
wndIcon = { 
    'wnd', 
    text = 'Icon Window', 
    width = 250, 
    controls = { 
        {

            id='IconGridList', 
            width=230,

local icon = getIconIDByName(text) 
local leaf = createPickup(0, 0, 0, 3, icon) 
attachElements(leaf, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) 
end 
  

FR Gui appears, Grid list appears, when i click on an item, nothing happens. my debugscript doesn't say anything...

[JR10]

Are you sure about this:

{'btn', id='Use', onclick=attachElements} 

i think it should be the function

like this:

{'btn', id='Use', onclick=onDoubleClick} 

[[DemoN]]

when I use

{'btn', id='Use', onclick=attachElements} 

(When I click Use button) it says bad argument @ attachElements (but when I double click nothing happens) and when I use

{'btn', id='Use', onclick=onDoubleClick} 

nothing happens.

[JR10]

Post the warning line.

[[DemoN]]

The Script became crazy...

WARNING: freeroam/gui.lua:235: Bad argument @ attachElements

here is the line 235:

        clickhandler = function() wnd.onclick() end 

Edit: I'm working on fr_client.lua but bad argument is in gui.lua

[JR10]

Ok try this

---------------------------- 
-------- Icon window ------- 
---------------------------- 
  
wndIcon = { 
    'wnd', 
    text = 'Icon Window', 
    width = 250, 
    controls = { 
        { 
            'lst', 
            id='IconGridList', 
            width=230, 
            height=280, 
            columns={ 
                {text='Icons', attr='name'} 
            }, 
            rows={xml='icons.xml', attrs={'id', 'name'}}, 
        }, 
        {'btn', id='Use', onclick=onDoubleClick}, 
        {'btn', id='Close', closeswindow=true} 
    } 
} 
  
  
function getIconIDByName(name) 
for i, v in ipairs(getElementsByType('icon')) do 
if getElementData(v, 'name') == name then 
return tonumber(getElementData(v, 'id')) 
end 
end 
end 
  
onDoubleClick = function (botton, state) 
local row, column = guiGridListGetSelectedItem(IconGridList) 
local text = guiGridListGetItemText(IconGridList, row, column) 
local icon = getIconIDByName(text) 
local leaf = createPickup(0, 0, 0, 3, icon) 
attachElements(leaf, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) 
end 
  

[[DemoN]]

It's not working my debugscript says nothing... If you don't want to help me anymore (because it's getting hard and hard!), you can give up

[Castillo]

function applyAttachment(leaf) 
    if type(leaf) ~= 'table' then 
        leaf = getSelectedGridListLeaf(wndIcon, 'iconlist') 
        if not leaf then 
            return 
        end 
    end 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(g_Me) 
    local pickup = createPickup(x, y, z, 3, tonumber(leaf.id))   
    if pickup then 
    attachElements(pickup, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) 
    end 
end 
  
wndIcon = { 
    'wnd', 
    text = 'Icon Window', 
    width = 250, 
    controls = { 
        { 
            'lst', 
            id='iconlist', 
            width=230, 
            height=280, 
            columns={ 
                {text='Icons', attr='name'} 
            }, 
            rows={xml='icons.xml', attrs={'id', 'name'}}, 
            onitemdoubleclick=applyAttachment 
        }, 
        {'btn', id='Use', onclick=applyAttachment}, 
        {'btn', id='Close', closeswindow=true} 
    } 
} 

Everything works fine, but it won't attach it, dunno why.

Everything works fine, but it won't attach it, dunno why.

lol I had tried it and it just spawned pickups but when I changed my skin it attached :D

anyway thank you guys. If i share this script, I will add your names in meta.xml and in description

Edit: How to attach...

This is my skin

I'm typing /ss 29

and attached

No problem .

[[DemoN]]

Sorry but I need a little help I want to destroy the pickup when other pickup selected

[Castillo]

function applyAttachment(leaf) 
    if type(leaf) ~= 'table' then 
        leaf = getSelectedGridListLeaf(wndIcon, 'iconlist') 
        if not leaf then 
            return 
        end 
    end 
    if isElement(pickup) then destroyElement(pickup) end 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(g_Me) 
    pickup = createPickup(x, y, z, 3, tonumber(leaf.id))     
    if pickup then 
    attachElements(pickup, g_Me, 0, 0, 1.5) 
    end 
end 

[[DemoN]]

Thank you! Now It is really a script Thank you Solidsnake14 (a.k.a. Castillo) and JR10 (a.k.a. Jacob)

[qaisjp]

Demon, send me your newest code snippet via PM, I'll finish it off for you

[Castillo]

qaisjp, finish what? it's already "finished" as you say, there's nothing to finish, if you want to use it, then just say it .

[[DemoN]]

Sorry but I need a problem again I have tested this script on my friends server and it's working but I can't see my friend's icon and he can't see mine too. What do I need to do?

[Castillo]

That's obiously, because you are creating the icons client-side, and if you wanted others to see them it should be server-side.

--client side

function applyAttachment(leaf) 
    if type(leaf) ~= 'table' then 
        leaf = getSelectedGridListLeaf(wndIcon, 'iconlist') 
        if not leaf then 
            return 
        end 
    end 
   triggerServerEvent("createPickup",g_Me,g_Me,leaf.id) 
end 

--server side

local pickup = {} 
  
addEvent("createPickup",true) 
addEventHandler("createPickup",root, 
function (client, icon) 
    if isElement(pickup[client]) then destroyElement(pickup[client]) end 
    local x, y, z = getElementPosition(client) 
    pickup[client] = createPickup(x, y, z, 3, tonumber(icon)) 
    if pickup[client] then 
    attachElements(pickup[client], client, 0, 0, 1.5) 
   end 
end) 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit",root, 
function () 
   if isElement(pickup[source]) then destroyElement(pickup[source]) end 
end) 

Try it, should work (not tested).
