UserMessage Menu

[Tuck]

for some reason i can only hit option 1 in menu......

UserMessage = GameEngine.UserMessageBegin(Recipients, 10, None)
UserMessage.WriteShort(1)
UserMessage.WriteByte(2)
UserMessage.WriteByte(0)
UserMessage.WriteString(text)
GameEngine.MessageEnd()

when i change the highlighted i can choose more options but i would really like some information on what types/bytes/shorts to edit for me to have a menu with 10 menuselect 0 included

You can use this helper function in order to get the required value:

Syntax: Select all

def keysToBits(keys):
    return sum((1 << x for x in set(keys)))

If you want to enable 0-9 you would do it like the following:

Syntax: Select all

UserMessage.WriteShort(keysToBits((0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)))

# Or more simple
UserMessage.WriteShort(keysToBits(range(9)))

how do i catch player hitting 0 ? :/ tried range(1, 11) and range(11) nothing :/

edit, im listening to menuselect via ClientCMD, using your example of setting the SHORT i can catch the keys 1-9 however cannot catch 0 ;(

Hey Tuck,

Sadly, this is not available on CS:GO.

if it's default bound to some kinda "weapon_slot" couldn't i just listen to that so it would work for users with standard weapon slots :/

It works with 0 if you bind your 0 key to "menuselect 0"... Otherwise, it doesn't seem to work properly.

Once we get dynamic function hooking, we can try to see if we can hook the slotx commands. I would also love to find a "proper" way to close menus, which used to be possible before the OrangeBox update in ES' popuplib.

Hey guys,

I don't think that we can do anything server-side since slots are handled by clients: CBaseHudWeaponSelection::HandleHudMenuInput. Then, it tells the server by sending menuselect: CHudMenu::SelectMenuItem. I compared the file ../game/client/weapon_selection.cpp from CSS to CS:GO and it seems that thr problem is at line 254:

Syntax: Select all

if ( down >= 1 && keynum >= KEY_1 && keynum <= KEY_9 )
	{
		if ( HandleHudMenuInput( keynum - KEY_0 ) )
			return 0;
	}

The menu never handles the selection if the slot is not between 1 and 9. So well, there's really nothing we can do...

Anyways, Ayuto's function is wrong. It should be:

Syntax: Select all

def keysToBits(keys):
    return sum((1 << (x - 1) for x in set(keys)))

Where "0" need to be handled as "10".

Anyways, Ayuto's function is wrong. It should be:[python]def keysToBits(keys):
return sum((1 << (x - 1) for x in set(keys)))[/python]Where "0" need to be handled as "10".

Yours chrashes the server? last thing i see is: negative shift count

[L'In20Cible]

Hey Tuck,

You quoted the answer.

Where "0" need to be handled as "10".

And it crashed cause you started a message and didn't send it (cause of the raised error).

ye i though it over after i posted and tried doing range(1, 11) worked perfectly fine :P thanks

However the radio menus used for doing ingame sounds suchas need backup blah blah.. 0 is used to close in them ?

[L'In20Cible]

Again, they are client-side. It send the command based on the radio message to the server (in example, "go", "backup", etc.).

Is it possible to force client to bind a key?

and would it be possible to retrieve what client has a bound a key to :/

[L'In20Cible]

No you can't force a client to bind a key. And I doubt you can get which command is bound to it since the server doesn't have to know that directly so well, why sending more data than needed? Not sure if it works on CSGO but on CSS, you can print them into a hudhint message. In example:

Code: Select all

Press %+jump% to jump!

i think %+jump% is converted client side :/

[L'In20Cible]

It is, was just for your information.
