GUI Editor: Why are RSC-Classes not predefined?

[florianmuellerch 10]

I am getting into ArmA 3 Scripting once again (after I've made some cool addons a few years ago, see this post).

 

I recently found the GUI editor, which makes it a lot easier to create dialogs. However, the classes used by the Built-In editor (like RscText, RscButton, RscSlider, etc.) are not predefined and have to be defined by myself. I have to do this by searching youtube and forums for definitions of it, because I have no idea what it can do and what it can't.

 

So, why for gods sake, is there no predefined definition of the classes used by the built in editor?

Thanks for input mates, and a nice weekend.

CTRL+P in the GUI editor or call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses in the debug console, both will export base classes to clipboard.

You serious?! Thank you very much! :-)

call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses also exports the newer base defines that have all their base members present including eventHandlers.

e.g where previously you would have used RscText you can now use ctrlStatic..

RscText

class RscText
{
    deletable = 0;
    fade = 0;
    access = 0;
    type = 0;
    idc = -1;
    colorBackground[] =
    {
        0,
        0,
        0,
        0
    };
    colorText[] =
    {
        1,
        1,
        1,
        1
    };
    text = "";
    fixedWidth = 0;
    x = 0;
    y = 0;
    h = 0.037;
    w = 0.3;
    style = 0;
    shadow = 1;
    colorShadow[] =
    {
        0,
        0,
        0,
        0.5
    };
    font = "RobotoCondensed";
    SizeEx = "(((((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 1.2) / 25) * 1)";
    linespacing = 1;
    tooltipColorText[] =
    {
        1,
        1,
        1,
        1
    };
    tooltipColorBox[] =
    {
        1,
        1,
        1,
        1
    };
    tooltipColorShade[] =
    {
        0,
        0,
        0,
        0.65
    };
};

 

ctrlStatic

class ctrlDefault
{
    access = 0;
    idc = -1;
    style = ST_LEFT;

    show = 1;

    class ScrollBar

        scrollSpeed = 0.06;
        arrowEmpty = "\a3\3DEN\Data\Controls\ctrlDefault\arrowEmpty_ca.paa";
        arrowFull = "\a3\3DEN\Data\Controls\ctrlDefault\arrowFull_ca.paa";
        border = "\a3\3DEN\Data\Controls\ctrlDefault\border_ca.paa";
        thumb = "\a3\3DEN\Data\Controls\ctrlDefault\thumb_ca.paa";
        color[] = {1,1,1,1};
    };
};
class ctrlDefaultText: ctrlDefault
{
    sizeEx = "4.32 * (1 / (getResolution select 3)) * pixelGrid * 0.5";
    font = "RobotoCondensedLight";

Holy crap Larrow, that really is useful.

Never would have noticed up until now.
