Summary

Function: DialogPlus( key avatar, string message, list buttons, integer channel, integer CurMenu );

Creates a dialog menu for storing more then 12 buttons, very useful for Inventory items, Scanners, and just huge lists.

• key avatar
• string message message to be displayed
• list buttons button labels
• integer channel
• integer CurMenu Parsed menu index.

'CurMenu' will take place of an integer menuindex.
This requires a Listen Event when using DialogPlus to allow the Back and Next button to work.

Specification

<lsl> //Created by Ugleh Ulrik //This sort of script should cost, but for you free :) //Edited by Taff Nouvelle to put the buttons in correct order. list order_buttons(list buttons) {

   return llList2List(buttons, -3, -1) + llList2List(buttons, -6, -4) +
       llList2List(buttons, -9, -7) + llList2List(buttons, -12, -10);

integer menuindex; DialogPlus(key avatar, string message, list buttons, integer channel, integer CurMenu) {

   if (llGetListLength(buttons) >12){
   list lbut = buttons;
   list Nbuttons = [];
   if(CurMenu == -1)
   {
       CurMenu = 0;
       menuindex = 0;
   }
   if((Nbuttons = (llList2List(buttons, (CurMenu * 10), ((CurMenu * 10) + 9)) + ["Back", "Next"])) == ["Back", "Next"])
       DialogPlus(avatar, message, lbut, channel, menuindex = 0);
   else
   {
       llDialog(avatar, message,  order_buttons(Nbuttons), channel);
   }

}else{

   llDialog(avatar, message,  order_buttons(buttons), channel);

} } </lsl>

Examples
