JR Nova 24 Posted February 20, 2019 I'm trying to get a time limit slider to work in a dialog with values from 5 minutes to 120 minutes and if the slider's value is over 120 minutes then it changes to no time limit. The numbers show up in game but the values on the slider only go from 0 minutes to 10 minutes. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Snippets from the scripts involving this slider: bfMenu1Begin.sqf - script that opens dialog and sets values for the sliders. sliderSetRange [1904, 5, 121]; sliderSetSpeed [1904, 1, 10]; sliderSetPosition [1904, GAMETIME]; _say="Time Limit : "+str GAMETIME+" Minutes";if(GAMETIME==121)then{_say="No Time Limit ";};ctrlSetText [1005, _say]; bfMenu1.hpp class nova_slider_timeLimit: RscSlider { idc = 1904; onSliderPosChanged = "nul=[5]execVM'settings\bfMenu1.sqf';"; x = 0.565625 * safezoneW + safezoneX; y = 0.388 * safezoneH + safezoneY; w = 0.18375 * safezoneW; h = 0.042 * safezoneH; }; class nova_text_time: RscText { idc = 1005; text = "Time Limit: XXXX Mins"; //--- ToDo: Localize; x = 0.591875 * safezoneW + safezoneX; y = 0.36 * safezoneH + safezoneY; w = 0.13125 * safezoneW; h = 0.028 * safezoneH; }; bfMenu1.sqf _sb=_this select 0; _say=0; if(_sb==5)then{ GAMETIME=(floor (sliderPosition 1904)); _say="Time Limit : "+str GAMETIME+" Minutes"; if(GAMETIME==121)then{_say="No Time Limit";}; ctrlSetText [1005,_say]; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1288 Posted February 21, 2019 onSliderPosChanged You pass 5 as an argument. _select 0 - _control _select 1 - _newValue Your control IDC is 1904, it wants the control, not IDC. Quote params ["_control", "_newValue"]; You are overwriting it with 5. Remove it. onSliderPosChanged = "0 = [] execVM 'settings\bfMenu1.sqf';"; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Nova 24 Posted February 22, 2019 Well the thing is I can't remove 5 because that lets the script know which part I'm calling because I have other items on the menu, those were just the parts of the code regarding this particular slider. Basically I'm creating a dialog with buttons that let you click on the map to choose a location for a battlefield (bfLoc) and bases (westBase & eastBase). It also has sliders to adjust the size of the battlefield (bfSize), how long the game will last (timeLimit), how many points to win (maxScore), & how many groups spawn (westGroups & eastGroups). bfMenu1Begin.sqf - script that opens dialog and sets values for the sliders.

I haven't started on the group number slider codes yet though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1288 Posted February 22, 2019 Huh??? What is 5? Nothing. Unless I am missing something? Did you try without?

Larrow 2794 Posted February 22, 2019 15 hours ago, HazJ said: Huh??? What is 5? Nothing. Unless I am missing something? Its their own index of what to do in the script when that particular sliders position is changed. They are overwriting nothing, just because they do not use the ctrl as supplied by the event, there is nothing particularly wrong with doing it this way, although it could be handled differently. Quote onSliderPosChanged = "nul=[5]execVM'settings\bfMenu1.sqf';"; bfMenu1.sqf _sb=_this select 0; //passed index //timeLimit slider; if(_sb==5)then{ ///if index //Do something with slider GAMETIME=(floor (sliderPosition 1904)); _say="Time Limit : "+str GAMETIME+" Minutes"; if(GAMETIME==121)then{_say="No Time Limit";}; ctrlSetText [1005,_say]; }; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1288 Posted February 22, 2019 Oh. I don't usually do it that way ha. It looks all weird to read. I provided an alternative solution anyway. I also thought it would of been select 3. For some reason. Brain must of been confused. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't work at first with just the code in bfMenu1Begin.sqf, but I copied your base_defines.hpp to my defines.hpp and now everything is working as planned! Thanks for the help!

HazJ 1288 Posted February 23, 2019 Yes, download the example mission to test it. Review code, learn from it and adapt to yours. Your original code was giving me headache lol ha so just re-did it. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
