Zugg Software :: View topic - multi-state button, example required

Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2002 9:48 am

What I'm after is an example of the command line to create a multistate button.

I.e.

#bu buttonid ......

I have read the help, not much info there. I have done a search for multistate, there are a couple of questions but no examples.

I want to have a buttion that sets a variable "bu_state" to be 0-3 for with the text changing to the following wield, dual, get, put.

PS I can crash zmud with one of my attempts anyone interested?

When is Zugg going to fix somer of the existing bugs?

Use something like:

#VAR MultiState 0

#BUTTON [%numbuttons()+1] {MultiStateCaption} {} {WieldState|DualState|GetState|PutState} {WieldStateScriptHere|DualScriptHere|GetScriptHere|PutScriptHere} {@MultiState} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {0|0|0|0} {} {} "" {} {} {MultistateIDHere}

I have the variable MultiState set to 0 so no scripts trigger when you load the button.

To force the state of the button change that controling variable.

#VAR MultiState 1

Toggles it to the wield state.

Easiest way to load buttons like this is to make an example and export the text.

Note the syntax editor rarely likes the syntax of buttons in aliases.. which you can
ignore.

One item of note I found in testing. The section {0|0|0|0} in Ton's example must match the number of states you have. Hence 4 0's for the 4 states, {0|0|0} for 3 states, and {0|0|0|0|0} for 5 states. Don't ask me what the 0's are for, I couldn't count that many parameters along and match it to the help file.
