onmapsingleclick command
for command enter what you want to occur, like onmapsingleclick exec "myscript.sqs"

for the buttons you mention, I think you mean params in the description.ext file.  You need to define in the .ext what you want, then use a method to detect what the param is, such as a trigger,or the init.sqs.  excerpt from a description.ext:
titleParam1 = "First choice item";
valuesParam1[] ={10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100};
defValueParam1 = 50;
textsParam1[] = {"10","20","30","40","50","60","70","80","90","100"};

titleParam2 = "second choice item";
valuesParam2[] = {1,2};
defValueParam2 = 1;
textsParam2[] = {"This","That"};

then in the init.sqs  :
?param1==10:do this
?param1==20:do this other
?param1==30 and param2==1:do this thing and that other thing

hope this helps, and Dude, no need to apologize for your English....We can figure it, and I'm sure your English is better than most of our <<insert another language here>>

hi there, make a trigger on the map, activated by radio code alpha and repeadetly, you can name it as you want to, in this case i will call it Transport, but it is not important, in the init field write this

onMapSingleClick {[_pos] exec "trans.sqs"}


and the actual script you called with the radio code is this, call it like the sqs file you wrote in the trigger init field (in this case call it trans.sqs)


_pos = _this select 0
~0.3

trans_pos_x = _pos select 0
~0.2
trans_pos_y = _pos select 1
~0.2
publicvariable "trans_pos_x"
~0.5
publicvariable "trans_pos_y"
~0.5
onmapsingleclick {}
~0.5
[] exec "whatever script you want to release with the click.sqs"
~0.2
#end
exit


in the "whatever script you want to release with the click.sqs" you pick up the values trans_pos_x and trans_pos_y, which are public variables now and do whatever you like with the position

The "buttons" are called dialogues.   There is a tutorial in the Editors Depot and also a quick dialogue maker tool.

It seems I cannot say this often enough.   When you want to use a new command,

[size=40]ALWAYS CHECK THE ONLINE COMREF[/size]
