easyDialog

The purpose of this include is to make dialogs easier to use in general.

Imagine having over 100 dialog checks under OnDialogResponse. It's just too messy and most of the time, it's unorganized and harder to look for certain dialogs for future editing, and remembering certain dialog ID's can be a pain in the ass.

However, easyDialog.inc fixes that by introducing a "named dialog feature" which allows scripters to declare a dialog by name, rather than ID.

Feature	OnDialogResponse	easyDialog.inc
Crash Proof	No	Yes
Named Dialogs	No	Yes
Calling a dialog manually	No	Yes
Custom callback for handling	No	Yes

Functions

Show dialog to player

Dialog_Show(playerid, dialog, style, caption[], info[], button1[], button2[], {Float,_}:...);

Closes any opened dialogs.

Dialog_Close(playerid);

Returns 1 if the dialog is opened for the specified player.

Dialog_Opened(playerid);

Callback

This callback is called before a dialog is shown to a player (using Dialog_Show, that is). Returning 0 under this callback will prevent the dialog from working.

public OnDialogPerformed(playerid, dialog[], response, success)
{
    return 1;
}

Example

CMD:weapons(playerid, params[])
{
    Dialog_Show(playerid, WeaponMenu, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "Weapon Menu", "9mm\nSilenced 9mm\nDesert Eagle\nShotgun\nSawn-off Shotgun\nCombat Shotgun", "Select", "Cancel");
    return 1;
}

Dialog:WeaponMenu(playerid, response, listitem, inputtext[])
{
    if (response)
    {
        new str[64];
        format(str, 64, "You have selected the '%s'.", inputtext);

        GivePlayerWeapon(playerid, listitem + 22, 500);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, str);
    }
    return 1;
}

public OnDialogPerformed(playerid, dialog[], response, success)
{
    if (!strcmp(dialog, "WeaponMenu") && IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, "You must be on-foot to spawn a weapon.");
        return 0;
    }
    return 1;
}
