[HL2DM] Menus not showing plain text

[Kami]

Hey guys,

I have been trying to add plain text to an ESC Menu in hl2dm but have been failing to do so. With Ayutos ES Emulator it works but I could not figure out why it does. I used this code for testing:

Syntax: Select all

from events import Event 
from players.entity import Player
from menus import SimpleMenu
from menus import Text

@Event('player_say')
def say(ev):
    player = Player.from_userid(ev['userid'])
    menu_test = SimpleMenu(title="This is a test")
    menu_test.append(Text('This is a test'))    
    menu_test.send(player.index)

This is what it looks like with my code


This is what it is supposed to look (not the text, just the type of display)

Unless I'm mistaken, you don't want a menu, you want a Dialog message. Specifically, DialogText.

You are right! Thank you very much for your help.

Okay, it seems that it is possible to display text and menu options in the same menu:



Any idea how that would work? As shown above, adding text to a Menu will not display the text at all.

You can achieve that with DialogMenu():

Syntax: Select all

# ../menu_example/menu_example.py

# Source.Python
from colors import Color
from commands import CommandReturn
from commands.client import ClientCommand
from messages import DialogMenu
from players.entity import Player


DialogMenu(
    title='Menu Title',
    msg='Message goes here.\nAnother line over here!\n\nAnd another..',
    command='dialog_menu_command',
    color=Color(255, 255, 255, 255),
    time=10,
    options={
        # Command argument(s): Label
        'kill': 'Option 1',
        'disconnect': 'Option 2'
    }
).send()


@ClientCommand('dialog_menu_command')
def dialog_menu_cmd(command, index):
    # Get the Player instance.
    player = Player(index)
    args = command.arg_string
    # Did the player pick Option 1?
    if 'kill' in args:
        player.take_damage(damage=player.health)
    elif 'disconnect' in args:
        player.kick(message='You chose Option 2')

    return CommandReturn.BLOCK
