[RESOLVED] display the time on a GUI

[DÄZ 56]

hi, i was trying to display the mission time on a GUI.

I can display a text, no worries! For now, whatever I try, it does not work!

 

DAZ_BCM_test_time.hpp:

class DAZ_BCM_test_time
{
	idd = 1984;
	movingEnable = true;											
	controlsBackground[] = {IGUIBack_2200, IGUIBack_2201};
	onLoad = "" ; 
	objects[] = {};
	controls[]=
{
	RscText_1000
};

class IGUIBack_2200: DAZ_BCM_IGUIBack
{
	idc = 2200;
	moving = 1;

	x = 5 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X;
	y = -5.5 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y;
	w = 30 * GUI_GRID_W;
	h = 1 * GUI_GRID_H;
};
class IGUIBack_2201: DAZ_BCM_IGUIBack2
{
	idc = 2201;
	moving = 1;

	x = 5 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X;
	y = -4.5 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y;
	w = 30 * GUI_GRID_W;
	h = 34 * GUI_GRID_H;
};
class RscText_1000: DAZ_BCM_RscText
{
	idc = 1000;

	onLoad = "ExecVM 'time.sqf';";
	x = 17 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X;
	y = -5.5 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y;
	w = 7.5 * GUI_GRID_W;
	h = 1 * GUI_GRID_H;
};
};

 

time.sqf:

disableSerialization;

_display = findDisplay 1984;
_control = _display displayCtrl 1000;

_formatedTime = [time/3600,"HH:MM:SS"] call BIS_fnc_timeToString;
_stringfinal = "Temps écoulé depuis le début de la mission:"+ " " + "<t color='#26fc0a'>" + _formatedTime + "</t>";
_control ctrlSetStructuredText parsetext _stringfinal;

 

thank you in advance

Something like this?

_control ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format ["Time remaining: %1", _formatedTime];

still not working, thanks

Works for me. Put this in debug:

[] spawn
{
	disableSerialization;
	_time = [time/3600,"HH:MM:SS"] call BIS_fnc_timeToString;
	_display = findDisplay 46 createDisplay "RscDisplayEmpty";
	_text = _display ctrlCreate ["RscStructuredText", 100];
	_text ctrlSetPosition [0, 0, 0.4, 0.04]; // I didn't use safeZone as I was just quickly testing!
	_text ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format ["Time remaining: %1", _time];
	_text ctrlCommit 0;
	waitUntil
	{
		_time = [time/3600,"HH:MM:SS"] call BIS_fnc_timeToString;
		_text ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format ["Time remaining: %1", _time];
		sleep 1;
		false;
	};
};

thank you it works well in the debug, how to integrate in the GUI?

[HazJ 1288]

Make your UI. I assume you know how to do this since I saw your =DAZ= GUI POWER PLANT in sig. In the onLoad put:

[] execVM ""something.sqf"";
onLoad = "someScriptHandle = [] execVM ""something.sqf"";";
// or use single quotes
[] execVM 'something.sqf';
onLoad = "someScriptHandle = [] execVM 'something.sqf';";

Inside something.sqf:

waitUntil
{
	_time = [time/3600,"HH:MM:SS"] call BIS_fnc_timeToString;
	(findDisplay 1984 displayCtrl 1000) ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format ["Mission uptime: %1", _time];
	sleep 1;
	false;
};

You can also make a function and use spawn/call/etc instead of execVM command. You may also want to terminate the time update when you close the UI. Something like this:

onUnload = "terminate someScriptHandle;";

(from Wiki)

Note: The given script will not terminate immediately upon terminate command execution, it will do so the next time the script is processed by the scheduler.

You can also do a manual check using if statement or something to check if display is open or whatever.

still does not work in the GUI, I have no display, I have to do something wrong.

[DÄZ 56]

the ctrlSetText it works !!!

 

		_dialog = findDisplay 1984;
		
		_time = "test time";
		(_dialog displayCtrl 1000) ctrlSetText _time;

 

[HazJ 1288]

With RscText yes. For RscStructuredText use ctrlSetStructuredText as shown above.

yessss, you have enlightened me, It works now. thank you, friend

 

just use the class RscStructuredText and not RscText of define.hpp

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DialogControls-Text#CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT.3D13

 

//class RscText_1000: DAZ_BCM_RscText // <-- bad class
class RscText_1000: MyRscStructuredText
{
	idc = 1000;

	onLoad = "ExecVM 'time.sqf';";
	x = 17 * GUI_GRID_W + GUI_GRID_X;
	y = -5.5 * GUI_GRID_H + GUI_GRID_Y;
	w = 7.5 * GUI_GRID_W;
	h = 1 * GUI_GRID_H;
};
};

 

resolved, thank
