Dialog Control
| LSL Portal | Functions | Events | Types | Operators | Constants | Flow Control | Script Library | Categorized Library | Tutorials |
This is example of usage and function library needed in each scripts to use this dialog module.
Functions List
- Standard dialog with buttons. There can be more than 12 buttons.
- dialog(key id, string message, list buttons, list returns);
- Normal notification dialog, ie: dialog which requires no response from user.
- dialogNotify(key id, string message);
- To display current dialog again:
- dialogReshow();
- To cancel current dialog; Currently displayed dialog will give no response when clicked.
- dialogCancel();
Sample Scripts
- OnTouchSelectTexture (Tiyuk Quellmalz)
If anyone uses this module, please IM Nargus Asturias, I'd love to hear what you think.

DO NOT request multiple dialog at once! // Use of provided functions are recommented. Instruction here are for hardcore programmers only! // // Request: Send MessageLinked to the script. There are 3 dialog modes: // lnkDialog : Normal dialog with message and buttons // lnkDialogNumericAdjust : A dialog with buttons can be used to adjust numeric value // lnkDialogNotify : Just a simple notification dialog. No return value and no buttons. // // Send MessageLinked with code lnkDialogReshow to force active dialog to reappear. // Send MessageLinked with code lnkDialogCancel to force cancel active dialog // // If a lnkDialog is requested with more than 12 buttons, multi-pages dialog is used to show the buttons. // // [ For lnkDialog ] // MessageLinked Format: // String part: List dumped into string, each entry seperated by '||' // Field 1: Dialog message (512 bytes maximum) // Field 2: Time-out data (integer) // Field 3-4: Button#1 and return value pair // Field 5-6: Button#2 and return value pair // And go on... // Key part: Key of AV who attend this dialog // // Response: MessageLinked to the prim that requested dialog (but no where else) // num == lnkDialogResponse: AV click on a button.
