Save/restore GUIs

[Moox]

The scripting is 100% different now from when I last used ags. I managed to figure out how to code most of the guis I need, but I'm so confused as to how to script the save and restore guids.

Objects I have on the GUIs
For save:
lboxSaveÃ,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  lboxSave_SelectionChanged
tboxSaveÃ,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  tboxSave_Activate
btnSaveOkÃ,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, btnSaveOk_Click
btnSaveExitÃ,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  btnSaveExit_Click

For load:
lboxLoadÃ,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã, lboxLoad_SelectionChanged
btnLoadExitÃ,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  btnLoadExit_Click

My scripting

Code: ags

The command names are different, but the actual mechanics of it haven't changed much - if you knew how to make save/load GUIs in the old scripting, you can probably do it now. This thread has some of the new script - it might be a bit specific to what sloppy wanted (and doesn't use the newest String types), but  perhaps it can point you in the right direction.

[Moox]

Its been so long. I managed to get the listboxes to display the save games, I also am able to save in slot one so far. My load game is not working right though. I test it but I get a file can not be found message.

Code: ags

#sectionstart lboxLoad_SelectionChanged  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function lboxLoad_SelectionChanged(GUIControl *control) {
int LoadGame = lboxLoad.SelectedIndex;
RestoreGameSlot(LoadGame); 

}
#sectionend lboxLoad_SelectionChanged  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Thats what I have in my load GUI, what I want it to do is get the selected save and load it when enter is pressed.
Heres what I have for save so far

Code: ags

#sectionstart btnSaveOk_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function btnSaveOk_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
  String text = tboxSave.Text;
  SaveGameSlot(1, text);
  gSave.Visible = false;
}
#sectionend btnSaveOk_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Im trying to figure out how to script multiple slots still. I want a max of 4. I am confused as to how to create an int for the slot number to save and to check number of slots there already are. Help would be appreciated.

[Ashen]

Go back to that other thread for more details on the SaveGUI stuff, but basically:

Code: ags

#sectionstart lboxLoad_SelectionChanged  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function lboxLoad_SelectionChanged(GUIControl *control) {
int LoadGame = lboxLoad.SelectedIndex;
RestoreGameSlot(savegameindex[LoadGame]);
}
#sectionend lboxLoad_SelectionChanged  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Otherwise - with a single save game - you'd be trying to load Save.000 (the first item of a ListBox being 0, and not 1), while the actual save would be Save.001. And once you get more than 1 game, it'd be even more confused (the savegames are sorted chronologicly, rather than by saveslot used).

And:

Code: ags

#sectionstart btnSaveOk_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function btnSaveOk_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
  int index = lboxSave.ItemCount;
  if (index < 4) {
    String text = tboxSave.Text;
    SaveGameSlot(index+1, text);
    gSave.Visible = false;
  }
}
#sectionend btnSaveOk_Click  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

This'll allow a maximum of 4 save games. Again, look at the other thread for how to overwrite.
HOWEVER, since you only want/need 4 saveslots, maybe individual buttons would be the easier way to go about it, instead of messing around with the ListBoxes, e.g. (pseudocode):

Code: ags

function btnSaveOne_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
  String text = tboxSave.Text;
  SaveGameSlot(1, text);
  gSave.Visible = false;
}
 // etc

function btnLoadOne_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
  RestoreGameSlot(1);
  gLoad.Visible = false;
}
 // etc

[Moox]

Alright, I have the load GUI working perfect now, just a few more questions about save

Code: ags

#sectionstart btnSaveOk_ClickÃ,  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function btnSaveOk_Click(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button) {
Ã,  int index = lboxSave.ItemCount;
Ã,  if (index < 4) {
Ã,  Ã,  String text = tboxSave.Text;
Ã,  Ã,  SaveGameSlot(index+1, text);
Ã,  Ã,  gSave.Visible = false;
Ã,  }
Ã,  else {
Ã,  Ã,  String text = tboxSave.Text;
Ã,  Ã,  DisplayAtY (20, "Capacity reached, Select a slot to overwrite.");
Ã,  Ã,  int SaveGame = lboxSave.SelectedIndex;
Ã,  Ã,  SaveGameSlot(SaveGame, text);
Ã,  Ã,  Wait(5);
Ã,  Ã,  gSave.Visible = false;
Ã,  }
}
#sectionend btnSaveOk_ClickÃ,  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

It still seems to overwrite the first slot, when I click one of the list boxes it still highlights the first one. Im so confused, sorry if I'm just over looking something. Also, is there a way to disable the little scroll bars that show up when my listbox is full?

Edit: The highlight in the listbox is only showing up for less then a second in the
load one too come to think of it. All my test saves are from the same room so I cant tell if its only loading the first slot.

Code: ags

#sectionstart lboxLoad_SelectionChanged  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function lboxLoad_SelectionChanged(GUIControl *control) {
int LoadGame = lboxLoad.SelectedIndex;
Wait(5);
RestoreGameSlot(savegameindex[LoadGame]);
}
#sectionend lboxLoad_SelectionChanged  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Does that look correct?

[Ashen]

It doesn't seem to give the player a chance to select a slot to overwrite, it just gets the currently selected one (the first by default) and tries to save there. Like with the Load GUI, you should probably use SaveGameSlot(savegameindex[SaveGame], text); to make sure it actually saves over the selected slot (I'm assuming you're using ListBoxes and ListBox.FillSaveGameList()).
You could try deselecting all slots when you open the Save GUI (lboxSave.SelectedIndex = -1;) and forcing the player to have made a selection:

Code: ags

  else {
    String text = tboxSave.Text;
    int SaveGame = lboxSave.SelectedIndex;
    if (SaveGame == -1) DisplayAtY (20, "Capacity reached, Select a slot to overwrite.");
   else {
     SaveGameSlot(savegameindex[SaveGame], text);
     Wait(5);
     gSave.Visible = false;
   }
 }

Or, you could script a seperate Confirmation GUI that's displayed when the 4 slot limit has been reached. (Confirming an overwrite is almost certainly a good idea anyway.)

Also remember that (if you ARE still using the ListBoxes and ListBox.FillSaveGameList()) the games are ordered by most recent save, so whichever slot is saved over, it'll be at the top of the list next time you open the Save or Load GUI.

The scrollbars can be got rid off by changing the ListBox's 'Hide Borders' property to 'Yes'. (In the new betas, I think there's a seperate option for 'Hide Scrollbars'.)

Is it because I have the fill list stuff in rep execute?

[Ashen]

That'll be it, alright. You only need the ListBox.FillSaveGameList() commands calling when you turn the GUI on (btnIconSave/Load and probably on_key_press although that's still using the defualts) - otherwise the list is constantly refreshed and, as you've noticed, the selected item is reset.

[Moox]

Everything is working great now, thanks for all the help Ashen. One last question, how do I make it so if the player hits enter when in the save game text box it saves?
I know enter is number 13. I just dont know how to script it anymore, I remember there was an old command to find out if the key was pressed, im pretty sure IsKeyPressed (13); wont work though.

[Ashen]

Well, pressing enter will trigger the TextBox's Control Function, so just copy the code from the Save button (btnSaveOk_Click) into tboxSave_Activate - or setting tboxSave_Activate to run btnSaveOk's function could work, too:

Code: ags

#sectionstart tboxSave_Activate  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function tboxSave_Activate(GUIControl *control) {
  btnSaveOk_Click(btnSaveOK, eMouseLeft);
  // The parameters don't really matter, as long as SOMETHING's there
}
#sectionend tboxSave_Activate  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
