So... Ok. I have a multistate button, and there is 30 options you can select (just the different area scripts to load). It used to load them just fine when I would click on one.... Now... Yeah, nothing. But I haven't made a change to it or anything. Just... One day it stop'd working. Any ideas on what I should look into?? Ugh... Thankx again in advance!! =]

What do you mean it stopped working?

Are the 30 choices still there? Could you have somehow overwritten the buttons contents with a script etc?
Can you edit the button and see what is there not there? Could you have had the settings editor open on the button one day and typed in something meant for the command line and muckity mucked your code?

ROFL! "muckity mucked" Sad part is... I know what you mean... I've done it lots! Hahahah!

But no... Its not messed up, I went through it a ton of times, since it got fubard. All the choices are there, and they all should be loading. Its not hidden, and it is enabled. I just don't get it... Before, if there is alot of content coming from the mud/sending alot to the mud... I had to wait for it to slow down before I was able to click on it. Because it would take a few tries before it registered, "hey, hey's trying to load a script"... But now... Its just plain ol not working... =**[

Try backing up the button script then recreating it. Or reducing the number of options. This will make it easier to debug what's happening. Also try putting output statements in the code to determine if any at all s being executed.

Yea, just scared to do that, its all... LoL! Its a LOT of options... But I guess that'll hafta be what it boils down too... Oh, output statements? I've got emots and what not saying what script is loaded, is that what you mean? Or more of a #SHOW type of deal?

I tried multistate buttons one time and gave up on them. I would click the button and get the dropdown menu with my options, but if text came in and my triggers fired (not even sure if the triggers firing was required, but probably), then the menu options did nothing at all when clicked. Zugg said this was the way it worked because the menus can be dynamically coded and so they are completely rebuilt every time variables and such change. Give the number of variables, aliases, triggers, etc I use, there's no way I'm going to ever be quick enough to use a multistate button before it's invalidated. Not sure if this is your problem exactly, but thought I'd put it out there for you to consider.

Yeah, I've had that happen, but my triggers don't fire anything off that quickly, so it was never a problem before. I think I'm going to just revamp that button. Start with one script, and add more in as I need them... =[

*sigh* I just deleted my multistate button, and created a new one from scratch. Only has 2 states... Still doesn't work... =[

I don't get how or why it would just stop working like that, and even after a complete rebuild of the button, it still doesn't work.... Any ideas?

Maybe try it under a new blank char/settings file?

I'll try..... That'll be ugly tho... =[

Can you post the trigger.. maybe we can find what's wrong with.. yes we'll wade through all the options. Very Happy

If you are using those two buttons together, there are covering each other.
{Pos} {1} {424}

Maybe give them id's incase something somewhere is #T- or #T+ or overwriting it.

Magician Joined: 23 Jul 2005 Posts: 334 Location: Chicago

I'll try the #T... However the two buttons overlapping each other? Isn't the first number the the vertical position and the second the horizontal? I'm very... Picky about how everything looks to say the least... Hahahahaha! So nothing was overlapping each other. As soon as I get moved into my new house and get my computer back up I'll try that! Thanks!

Where is the button's class folder? You aren't turning that class folder off now and then are you? (#T- normalscriptchec)

Both buttons above have the same position if you are trying to test with both. Not sure which one will be on top if both are active.
