User Input System * GUI drawText

Post by icuruok » August 17th, 2019, 1:25 pm

This is a UI based user input system I created for a upcoming gamemode I plan to release.

With this UI user input system you can have your IV:MP server request user text input to collect and store.

The text request is made on screen from drawTexthttps://bitbucket.org/Suge/eflc-mp-lua/wiki/drawText/

The user can enter any A-Z : 1-9 keys they wish and server can collect it, The text is also displayed live to the user as they type.



How To :

To call and use the user input is simple, Once userInput filterscript is loaded simply call with

gkeyboard(playerid, true) -- enable keyboard hook and request user input

You can disable by calling gkeyboard(playerid, false) -- by default is removed once user hits enter

to call/store/get the data the user entered
userInputdata[playerid] -- this is the string the user entered on input request


userInput.lua

Code: Select all

userInputdata = { } -- global table for each users input data 
userInputstream = { } -- global table of live input text from hook


function gkeyboard(pid, ctype)
   if(ctype == true) then
      wipeDrawClass(pid, 6) -- remove chat display
      drawText(pid, 6, 0.4, 0.5, 0.2, 0.54, "Enter Text - Enter to send", 0, 0xFFFFFFFF)
      userInputstream[pid] = ""
   end
   setPlayerFrozen(pid, ctype) -- freezes or unfreezes player for input

Thanks just updated script code to fix a bug issue it had

By replacing
if(keyCode == #x##)
With
if(keyCode == #x## and isUp == true)

fixes the double input bug that would happen when pressing same key more than once.
Now the script works perfectly for getting custom user input text outside of the chat itself.
