Rar @ 1,000 onActions!

Ok, im working on a Inventory but Ive encountered somewhat of a *problem*. Let me show you:

PHP Code:

... Some script ...

    new GuiScrollCtrl( "InventoryScroll" ) {
      height = 149, width = 32 + (32 + 8)*10;
      x = 12, y = 175;
      hscrollbar = "dynamic";
      vscrollbar = "alwaysOff";
 
      for (i = 0; i < clientr.Weapons.size(); i ++) {
        tokens = clientr.Weapons[i].tokenize(";");
        new GuiBitmapButtonCtrl( "InventoryButton" @ i) {
          x = 16 + (32 + 8)*i, y = 16;
          width = 32, height = 32;
          mouseoverbitmap = tokens[1];
          normalbitmap = tokens[1];
          pressedbitmap = tokens[1];
        }
      }
    } 


Is there another way to make it check if an icon is pressed rather then doing like this for each slot:

PHP Code:

//UGH!
function InventoryButton0.onAction()
{
  player.chat = "PRESSED 0!";
}

function InventoryButton1.onAction()
{
  player.chat = "PRESSED 1!";
}

function InventoryButton2.onAction()
{
  player.chat = "PRESSED 2!";
}

etc, etc.. 


I just HATE alot of basicly exactly the same functions!

Yes. You can use 'catchevent'. - catchevent(obj, oldevent, newevent);

PHP Code:

new GuiBitmapButtonCtrl( "InventoryButton" @ i) {
  x = 16 + (32 + 8)*i, y = 16;
  width = 32, height = 32;
  mouseoverbitmap = tokens[1];
  normalbitmap = tokens[1];
  pressedbitmap = tokens[1];

  //added this line:
  thiso.catchevent(this, "onAction", "onButtonPressed");
} 


Now, every time a button is pressed, 'onButtonPressed' will be called (with a parameter that is a reference to the object that called it).

Example:

PHP Code:

function onButtonPressed(obj) {
  player.chat = temp.obj.name;
}

Napo, I think I might love you! ;o

It might also be easier if you assign a variable to the object containing the number of the control.

For example:

PHP Code:

new GuiBitmapButtonCtrl( "InventoryButton" @ i) { 
  x = 16 + (32 + 8)*i, y = 16; 
  width = 32, height = 32; 
  mouseoverbitmap = tokens[1]; 
  normalbitmap = tokens[1]; 
  pressedbitmap = tokens[1];

  // ** Added
  this.buttonnumber = i;

  thiso.catchevent(this, "onAction", "onButtonPressed"); 
}

// ** Modified
function onButtonPressed(obj) { 
  player.chat = "Button Number: " @ obj.buttonnumber @ " pressed!"; 
}
