Moving while dialog is shown

[Fusion_Marduc]

Hi,

I found a similar topic from a year ago but there never was a reaction on that one so I started this new one.

On biki I read "Dialogs are parent containers for the actual controls it contains. Their definition contains several properties on the controls it contains, how the dialog can be addressed, and whether or not the player is able to continue regular movement while the dialog is shown.".

Well, I want to gain that the player is able to continue moving while the dialog is show but I can't find how to do it.

Does anyone know what property to set.

Regards,

***ANSWER***

Hi,

You can use cutRsc or cutObj to achieve this to instantiate the dialog instead of createDialog. The only downside seems to be that one can not set control value with for example ctrlSetText.

Code: [Select]

enableSimulation = true; Source is listed on the "Properties" table under Dialog.

enableSimulation just keeps the game/environment running while the dialog is open. Setting enableSimulation to false will simply 'freeze' the game for the player only while the dialog is open.

To modify a value on your dialog, just use this:

Code: [Select]

(findDisplay DLG_IDD) displayCtrl (CTRL_IDC) ctrlSetText "This is my text.";
