Request for new Exec

[lancer]

G'day,

No harm in asking.





The above pick-list, which is also used in DC for choosing airfields, would be a very useful feature to have access to from within the editor.

I'm guessing it would be a series of textstrings with an integer output indicating the string chosen by the player.

As it's already part of ATG it might - maybe - be something that could be added to the editor with relative ease.

Having the ability to get a multi-choice player input would open up a lot of possibilities.

Here's hoping...

Cheers,
Lancer

Hi Lancer,

Yes..... I hear you... its on the planning list to be honest, but it might be a while before it is implemented properly.

In the meantime you will want to try the OldStyleMessage [depreciated]. (talking about hiding stuff)

First line of the message is the question and the other lines are the possible answers... you can divert each answer to a different event.

Just tested this and it does the job.

Best,
Vic

G'day Vic,

O.K, excellent.

Thanks.

Cheers,

Interesting. Did not know that. Does the tempvar0,tempvar1 choices from an actioncard that triggers this message pass over to the selected answer?

Also one suggestion to Vic. Maybe you could write up this answer a little and put it in the wiki under the editor section. The Editor badly needs at least some documentation.
