Title: Run script from dialog
Post by: j-man on 23 May 2005, 08:17:19

I've just started using dialogs in my missions. I have a dialog with a list box of missions you can choose to do. I cant figure out how to script things so that when you select a mission from the list and then hit the "select mission" button, a script will run  :P


EDIT: forgot to mention, more options appear in the list at random times

believe it or not, the answer is in the tutorial (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/resource_view.php?id=66) you have very likely read by vektorboson. the answer lies in the 'action' part of your class definition.

for example, i have a dialogue which has three choices in a drop down menu. the select button at the bottom has the following action:

Code: [Select]

action = "closeDialog 0;[] exec {satcomm_image.sqs} ";

which closes the dialogue and runs the script. the script contains all the stuff which senses what has been selected in the dialogue. you'll get the hang of it - the tutorial is very well written ;)
