child window help
|
I've read the help and it wasn't very helpful. I simply want a small window to pop-up in an out of the way spot on my screen when I check defences.
I want to display variables like: @cold, @physical, ect.
Is there a way to determine its size, length of time until it vanishes, and its position on the screen? |

I usualy put such information in a status window and leave it docked to the left side of my mud window. However if you want to use a separate window you would use the #makewindow command, the help file is fairly complete. If you wanted to automaticaly hide it you would have to add an alarm to auto hide it after xx seconds.

is there an editor for the status window, or does it have to be done at the prompt?

Yes, there's an editor for the status window. Click on the giant button on the top of the screen that says "Settings". In there, there should be a smaller button called New... with menu arrow next to it. Click on that and select either Status Window or Status Line (they are both the same setting, so it really doesn't matter which you choose.) This brings up the editor window to the right with two boxes to put stuff in. First on is a one-liner with the label "Line:" next to it. This equates to the status bar at the bottom of the window next to the commandline, so don't put anything here. The big multiline box should have a label called Window, and this equates to the status window.
This is where you put all your stuff. It has to be %commands or raw text using variables. |
