problem with save/restore gui

[andrea]

Hello,
I wanted a costumized save/restore gui and found the following script. it seems to be right, but won't work in my game: whenever I press the SAVE button in the game, I get the error:
"Error:ListBoxGetItemText: invalid item specified"
can anybody help me?

if (interface == SAVE) {         // if save interface
Ã,  Ã, if (button == 4) {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  ListBoxGetItemText(SAVE,1,ListBoxGetSelected(SAVE,1),text);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  SetTextBoxText(SAVE,2,text);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  index = 21;
Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 2 || button == 4) {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, GetTextBoxText(SAVE,2,text);       // Get the typed text
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, if (StrCaseComp(text, "") != 0) {    // If text not empty
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  InterfaceOff(SAVE);         // Close interface
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  SetDefaultCursor();
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (index < 20)   {         // if less than 20
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, index = ListBoxGetNumItems(SAVE,1);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, SaveGameSlot(index+2,text);       // Save game (text as description)
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else {               // if saved games are 20
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, index = ListBoxGetSelected(SAVE,1);   // Get the selected save game
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, SaveGameSlot(savegameindex[index],text);Ã,  // Overwrite the selected game
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, }
Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 0) {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, InterfaceOff(SAVE);         // if cancel is pressed close interface
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, SetDefaultCursor();
Ã,  Ã,  }
}

if (interface == LOAD) {
Ã,  Ã, if (button == 0) {             // if cancel is pressed
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  InterfaceOff(LOAD);      Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  // Close interface
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  SetDefaultCursor();
Ã,  Ã, }
Ã,  Ã, else if (button == 3) {
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, index = ListBoxGetSelected(LOAD,1);   // else get the selected game
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, RestoreGameSlot(savegameindex[index]);    // restore the game
Ã,  Ã, }
}

ListBoxGetItemText(SAVE,1,ListBoxGetSelected(SAVE,1),text);

Maybe you shouldn't type the name of the interface SAVE, but its number. I mean, if SAVE's interface number is 2 then it should be:

ListBoxGetItemText(2,1,ListBoxGetSelected(2,1),text);

Also, maybe you shouldn't set "ListBoxGetSelected(2,1)". Maybe you should do :     int Box_Get = ListboxGetSelected(2,1);
and then:      ListBoxGetItemText(2,1,Box_Get),text);

It might work, i am not absolutely sure (something that rarely happens to a Wizard, by the way...).

thanks, but now there is an error in my script saying:

"Error(line172): undefined symbol 'ListBoxGetSelected'

maybe i did it wrong.
where do i have to put the

"int Box_Get = ListboxGetSelected(2,1);" ?!

I'm not really into scripting, sorry

[SilverWizard_OTF]

Well, do not do that (int box_get =....).

Do what you have done before, but like that:

ListBoxGetItemText(2,1,ListBoxGetSelected(2,1),text);
// where "2" is the number of your interface

It was wrong the: int box_get, do not do that.

Well, does it work now?

(Sorry for the confusion, but even a Wizard makes mistakes sometimes...!)

I found the mistake myself. it had something to do with some functions that I forgot to load when loading the save/restore gui (does that make sense? I don't mind. it works).

Thanks for your help anyway!
