Check support menu

[gc8 977]

Hi

Is it possible to detect when player opens the supports menu? (0-8)

I could check that with commandingMenu but then I'd need to check it like each frame. An event handler would be better..

 

thx!

Perhaps try:  inGameUISetEventHandler

 

Never used it though.  You would need the 'engine based action name' for (8) in (0-8).  Don't know whether it uses the action name, or Action names, or the CfgCommunicationMenu classname of the selection (or the class's text value), or what.

inGameUISetEventHandler ["Action", "if (_this select 3 == << Support menu (8) >>) then {<< code >>; << code >>; << boolean >>}"];

@opusfmspol Tried that one already but didn't work. I think it's only for the scroll actions. thx :)

What about key pressed event handlers?

Not sure how to go about doing that but it might be one option

yeah I know the EH just don't know how to write the code.... maybe check that last two keys are 0 & 8 but not sure if that's the best way

Well I hacked in this code:

 

#include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\definedikcodes.inc"


waituntil { !isnull (findDisplay 46) };
findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", 
{
params ["_display","_key"];

if(commandingMenu == "RscMenuReply") then
{
 if(_key == DIK_8) then // About to open support menu
 {
  systemchat "Opening support menu...";
  showCommandingMenu ""; // Deny opening (Close the whole menu)
 };
};
  
}];

 

You can also return true from the EH to ignore the key presses

Yep, good for a range of things.

What happens if the user has changed/not bound any keybindings for commandingMenu selection?

I don't, 1-0 is unit selection, F1-F10 are 'Open Menu #', everything else I do by scroll and middle mouse.

 

TAG_fnc_isNotSupportMenu = {
	if ( commandingMenu == "#User:BIS_fnc_addCommMenuItem_menu" ) then {
		hint "Closing Support Menu";
		showCommandingMenu "";
		false
	}else{
		true
	};
};

findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler[ "KeyUp", {
	[] call TAG_fnc_isNotSupportMenu;
}];

findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler[ "MouseButtonUp", {
	[] call TAG_fnc_isNotSupportMenu;
}];

Thx Larrow. I thought I probably forgot something :)
