Alert(); In Graal!

Anyway I have made my own "Alert" function.
If you would like to see it here's how.

Step 1:
Make a new class and name it "alert".
Now place this code in the newly created class.

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function Alert(title, message) {

  new GuiWindowCtrl("Alert_Window") {

    profile = GuiBlueWindowProfile;

    destroyonhide = 1;

    canmaximize = false;

    canminimize = false;

    canclose = false;

    canmove = false;

    isexternal = 0;

    width = 320;

    height = 120;

    text = title;

    x = screenwidth / 2 - width / 2;

    y = screenheight / 2 - height / 2;

    new GuiScrollCtrl("Alert_Text_Container") {

      profile = GuiBlueScrollProfile;

      x = 6;

      y = 24;

      width = 308;

      height = 69;

      hScrollBar = "dynamic";

      vScrollBar = "dynamic";

      new GuiMLTextCtrl("Alert_Text") {

        profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile;

        text = message;

        width = 287;

      }

    }

    new GuiButtonCtrl("Alert_Ok_Button") {

      profile = GuiBlueButtonProfile;

      width = 40;

      height = 20;

      x = Alert_Window.width - Alert_Ok_Button.width - 7;

      y = Alert_Window.height - Alert_Ok_Button.height - 7;

      text = "Ok";

    }

  }

}



function Alert_Ok_Button.onAction() {

  Alert_Window.destroy();

}

Step 2:
This is how to use it.
On any script place this directly under onCreated on the clientside.

PHP Code:


		
			
this.join("alert");

Then to alert the player place this.

PHP Code:


		
			
Alert("Alert!", "Hello world!");

It works like this:
Alert("TITLE", "MESSAGE");

-Enjoy

Anyone who knows how to make GUIs can make that without any problems. -__-

Thanks! I really needed this for my server.

Well I figured someone who doesn't now has this to learn off.
No need to be too sutle.

It would be much better to write a guide for making simple GUI windows.

There are already guides on that on the Graal Bible.
I just thought it would be nifty to be able to do alert(); in Graal.

It would also be much better if Alerts were created and destroyed dynamically, as if you were to receive multiple alerts in quick succession they would over-write eachother.

Alert: You've just won the Server Lottery, congratulations!

1 second later

Alert: Graal765432 has sent you a hug

Well maybe making an clientr variable as an index and then increasing it when an alert is created and decreasing when the close button is pressed..
I suppose that would work.
I didn't think of this when scripting it.

You don't need an array or index variable, it's possible to create GUIs with a variable name, then use catchevent(); to receive necessary actions on the correct GUI object.

I don't know how I would go about doing it using catchevent(); so il just stick with using an index for now.

Lets say I was going to create a GUI object which name includes an increasing number to distinguish itself:

PHP Code:


		
			
public function alert(temp.title, temp.message){
  new GuiWindowCtrl("Alert_" @ thiso.alertcount) {
    new GuiButtonCtrl("Alert_Button_" @ thiso.alertcount) {
      //stuff
      thiso.catchevent(this.name, "onAction", "buttonPress");
    }
  }
  this.alertcount ++;
}

This would be creating a separate GUI control for each alert, where catchevent will then catch the specified action and pass the GUI object as a parameter within the specified function name:

PHP Code:


		
			
function buttonPress(temp.gui){
  temp.gui.destroy();
}

I believe this can also be done without even assigning a GUI control a name.

You can also use:

PHP Code:


		
			
shared.adminMessage("text");

which will display a message even after being disconnected from the server.

One neat thing you might consider adding is perhaps some confirm function. For instance:

PHP Code:


		
			
response = confirm("Are you sure you want to do this?");
if (response) {
  doit();
}else {
  dontdoit();
}

Or by taking advantage of waitfor() :)

@Ffcmike thanks for the help, il try your idea out when I ye home.

@Tigarius I have used shared.adminMessage(); before but I wanted to make it have a title aswell. And shared.adminMessage(); I'm not sure it it would overwrite the pay if you get another message.
