Disable ESC button in dialog

[manlikeg 0]

So I made a dialog for a respawn, and called the dialog on respawn. How do i make it so the player cannot press the esc button to close the dialog?

Copied from one of my projects.

escKeyEH = _display displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (((_this select 1) == 1) && (!isServer)) then {true} else {false};"];

The isServer check was for when I was testing locally. Change _display to:

(findDisplay 46)

Oh... Sorry. I misunderstood. I thought you meant the game's Esc menu. For your custom respawn. Do this:

// IDD set in your dialog
escKeyEH = (findDisplay IDD) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (((_this select 1) == 1) && (!isServer)) then {true} else {false};"];
// Or if you use uiNamespace:
escKeyEH = (uiNamespace getVariable "blah") displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (((_this select 1) == 1) && (!isServer)) then {true} else {false};"];

class dlg_spawnSelection
{
	idd = 53101;
	movingEnable = 1;
	onLoad = "uiNamespace setVariable [""disp_spawnSelection"", (_this select 0)];";
	onUnload = "uiNamespace setVariable [""disp_spawnSelection"", nil];";
	class controls
	{

Example of mine.

do i run that in init?

[HazJ 1289]

No. You can have it in the onLoad inside the dialog file or have it in an SQF file which is executed when you open the dialog.

// Dialog file way:

onLoad = "escKeyEH = (findDisplay IDD) displayAddEventHandler [""KeyDown"", ""if (((_this select 1) == 1) && (!isServer)) then {true} else {false};""];";
// I don't know what your IDD is so you'll have to change that yourself

// SQF file way:

waitUntil {(!isNull (findDisplay IDD))};

escKeyEH = (findDisplay IDD) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (((_this select 1) == 1) && (!isServer)) then {true} else {false};"];
// Replace "IDD" with your dialog IDD, obviously

it's really annoying me now  

 

any chance you can upload your mission file with it on might help :P

[HazJ 1289]

Uh... Try:

onLoad = "escKeyEH = (_this select 0) displayAddEventHandler [""KeyDown"", ""if (((_this select 1) == 1) && (!isServer)) then {true} else {false};""];";

EDIT: You won't see any effect if you are testing locally (in SP Editor) or MP editor for that matter since you are the server. Here:

onLoad = "escKeyEH = (_this select 0) displayAddEventHandler [""KeyDown"", ""if (((_this select 1) == 1)) then {false};""];";

I just noticed, it should be false anyway. Sorry, my bad lol. Didn't notice in mine as when I was making this, I had that line commentted out. :D

still closes xD, just replaced the new code with the old one same thing D:

Let me test quickly. Will update in 2 minutes, stand by.

[HazJ 1289]

Sorry. I confused myself again. It should of been true lol. Damn! Sorry for all the confusion haha.

onLoad = "escKeyEH = (_this select 0) displayAddEventHandler [""KeyDown"", ""if (((_this select 1) == 1)) then {true};""];";

EDIT: If you accidently open this in editor and can't close it. Press "Left Shift + NumPad -" and type the following (just press the letters - no input box is shown):

ENDMISSION

(all together, you have to do it quick though)

    onLoad = "_this execVM 'scripts\_teleport\_menu.sqf'"
    onLoad = "escKeyEH = (_this select 0) displayAddEventHandler [""KeyDown"", ""if (((_this select 1) == 1)) then {true};""];";

 

sorry to annoy you again lol, to use this with another dialog i have am i able to merge these 2 scripts together as it doesnt work if i leave it like that

[HazJ 1289]

onLoad = "_this execVM ""scripts\_teleport\_menu.sqf""; escKeyEH = (_this select 0) displayAddEventHandler [""KeyDown"", ""if (((_this select 1) == 1)) then {true};""];";
