Create menu in mod

[LordAndrew]

Not work ! All that comes after [event] not work No event to enable the [event] I already wrote about this above. Its forever not work with InterfaceActionsWML. I will wait for the new version maby in new version will be more functional.

If i use Lua and other tags how can i include my cfg files in other cgf files ? of course that would work and executed scripts and tags
For example

Code: Select all

[tag]
[include]
/home/wesnoth/my.cfg
[/include]
[/tag]

What's the actual WML you're currently using?

[LordAndrew]

For 1.12 version
maybe someone needs a menu framework I think that because of the tag [command] not give use your [event] menu and event name=menu its not work. And [event]name=menu is not an occasion for triggering.

my menu.

Code: Select all

[event]

id=my_id
name=prestart

[command]
[message]

[option]
message="return the game"
[/option]

[option]
message="swords"

[command]

[message]
caption="swords menu"

[option]
message="back to game"
[/option]

[option]
message="elvish sword"
[command]
##some wml code or not##
[/command]
[/option]

[option]
message="goblin sword"
[command]
##some wml code or not##
[/command]
[/option]

[/message]
[/command]
[/option]


[/message]
[/command]

[/event]

I think in new version developers need create some this

Code: Select all

[option_1]
message="menu1"
[/option_1]

[option_2]
message="menu2"
[call]
[option_1]
[/option_1]
[/call]
[/option_2]

or I hope Llua will work at 100% in new version

how can i include my cfg files in other cgf files ?

Use {curly braces} to include files or folders in .cfg files. For example,

Code: Select all

[+units]
    {campaigns/Secrets_of_the_Ancients/units}
[/units]

I think that because of the tag [command] not give use your [event] menu

You can use [set_menu_item] and [clear_menu_item] in [command].

And [event]name=menu is not an occasion for triggering.

But you can fire an event in a menu [command] as ForestDragon explained.

I'm sorry if I didn't understand your problem.

[Pentarctagon]

Yeah, I don't really understand the problem. Your code you've posted works as far as I can tell - the [message] appears and has its options.

Also, indenting helps(and the outer [command] is unnecessary):

Code: Select all

[event]
  id=my_id
  name=prestart
  
  [command]
    [message]
      [option]
        message="return the game"
      [/option]

      [option]
      message="swords"
        
        [command]
          [message]
            caption="swords menu"

            [option]
            message="back to game"
            [/option]

            [option]
              message="elvish sword"
              [command]
              [/command]
            [/option]

            [option]
              message="goblin sword"
              [command]
              [/command]
            [/option]
            
          [/message]
          
        [/command]
      [/option]
      
    [/message]
    
  [/command]
[/event]

I want button "back to previous menu" i have three levels of the menu nested inside each other and at each level need a button. All your suggested options do not work. The variant that suggested ForestDragon works only with a simple menu. 1-2 level nested .
It's easier to make a full GUI use lua in 1.14 Than trying to build a spaceship with a screwdriver

[Pentarctagon]

Then you need to use a [while] loop around each [message], with an [option] that sets a variable to break the current loop.

[Ravana]

With eventbased solution you can use stack to save event names, which allows you jump back to previous event.

Similar example of that idea https://github.com/ProditorMagnus/Oroci ... #L190-L206 saves current state when going deeper, removing last state when going back.

Yes it works. Thanks! I did not immediately notice that this code can be applied to a separate piece of code. I try applied to all menu

1.13 and later ? I would really like to program under 1.14 I noticed a lot of interesting things there but do not have time to sit and wait

[Ravana]

No.

Ridiculous. It's beyond simple to add an option for going back to the previous menu and fire the relevant event. If you're still stuck then just tell me your menu structure and I will post some skeleton code for menu navigation.
