This is example of usage and function library needed in each scripts to use this dialog menus module.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This menus control REQUIRED Nargus Dialog Control script. You MUST have both Nargus Dialog Control and Nargus Dialog Menus in the same prim for it to work.

Menus Usage

  1. Initialize menus control using:
    • llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, lnkMenuClear, "", NULL_KEY);
  1. Using "packDialogMessage" function to generate new menu, and add it to menus list:
    • llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, lnkMenuAdd, packDialogMessage(....), "MenuName");
    • While "MenuName" is the same of this menu, ie: MainMenu
  1. To make a dialog button show a sub-menu, use following as return value of the button:
    • MENU_<name>
    • Replace "<name>" with the actual name of the added menu (without parenthesis).
  1. Repeat (2) and (3) for all menus you want
  1. To show a menu, use:
    • llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS, lnkMenuShow, "MenuName", llGetOwner());
    • Where "MenuName" is the name of menu to show. To show last-used menu, leave this field empty.
  1. Dialog will return value the same way as usual call to Nargus Dialog Module script.

Sample Scripts

  1. OnTouchSelectTexture (Tiyuk Quellmalz)


If anyone uses this module, please IM Nargus Asturias, I'd love to hear what you think.
