Hi All,

So the newest version of Secondary Callouts will include multiple audio options the officer themselves can say.  I was originally planning on having these be static (only said with specific callouts) but I want to make them more interactive- make the player choose what's best to say.

I'm trying to use the Rage Native UI but I can't get my menu to even show up in game.  Any ideas as to why?  I'm trying to learn it, but I want to be able to see what changes I'm making as I make them so I can figure it out!

FYI this is in my namespace of my callouts- is that an acceptable place to put it?

Thanks!

    public static class Menu
    {
        private static UIMenu mainMenu;
        private static UIMenu newMenu;

        private static NativeMenuItem SaveOfficer;
        private static NativeMenuItem LeaveOfficer;

        private static MenuPool _menuPool;

        public static void Main()
        {
            Game.FrameRender += Process;

            _menuPool = new MenuPool();

            mainMenu = new UIMenu("Secondary Callouts", "~b~Callout Menu");

            _menuPool.Add(mainMenu);

            mainMenu.AddItem(SaveOfficer = new NativeMenuItem("Save the Officer!", "Choose this to save the officer and bring him to the hospital."));

            var menuItem = new NativeMenuItem("Go to the Audio menu.");
            mainMenu.AddItem(menuItem);
            SaveOfficer.SetLeftBadge(NativeMenuItem.BadgeStyle.Star);
            SaveOfficer.SetRightBadge(NativeMenuItem.BadgeStyle.Tick);

            LeaveOfficer = new NativeMenuItem("Spawn Car");
            mainMenu.AddItem(LeaveOfficer);

            mainMenu.RefreshIndex();

            mainMenu.OnItemSelect += OnItemSelect;

            newMenu = new UIMenu("Audio Menu", "~b~Select the audio needed!");
            _menuPool.Add(newMenu);
            newMenu.RefreshIndex();
            mainMenu.BindMenuToItem(newMenu, menuItem);

            while (true)
                GameFiber.Yield();
        }

        public static void OnItemSelect(UIMenu sender, NativeMenuItem selectedItem, int index)
        {
            if (sender != mainMenu) return; // We only want to detect changes from our menu.
            // You can also detect the button by using index

            if (selectedItem == SaveOfficer)   // We check wich item has been selected and do different things for each.
            {
                Game.DisplayNotification("Save Officer!");
            }
            else if (selectedItem == LeaveOfficer)
            {
                Game.DisplayNotification("Leave Officer");
            }
        }

        public static void Process(object sender, GraphicsEventArgs e)
        {
            if (Game.IsKeyDown(Keys.F5) && !_menuPool.IsAnyMenuOpen()) // Our menu on/off switch.
                mainMenu.Visible = !mainMenu.Visible;

            _menuPool.ProcessMenus();       // Procces all our menus: draw the menu and procces the key strokes and the mouse. 
        }
    }

You have to remove
while (true)
    GameFiber.Yield();
from the method Main(). In the example it's there because otherwise RPH will reach the end of Main and unload the plugin.

That should work, and I recommend you to change the name Main to something more descriptive, like Initialize.

Ah, gotcha.

I did that and it still isn't loading though!  I'm going to recheck everything now to make sure I didn't screw anything up!

Weird, maybe you are having some crash that you didn't notice because LSPDFR handled it?

I'm not sure.  Am I allowed to have it in the namespace for my Callouts?

Hm.  I don't know then- I'm not seeing any error messages, and I even switched the key around.  I'll play around with it and see if I can figure it out!  Thank you!

Are you calling the Main method to initialize the menu anywhere in your plugin? Maybe you forgot to do it.

 

EDIT: update to RAGENativeUI 1.3 that has been released today, I think that the only change you will have to do is change NativeMenuItem to UIMenuItem

Ha wow I'm an idiot... I was so excited to see if it worked I didn't even call it...  I just called it and it worked!  Thank you!!

And great- thanks!

I'm late to the party here, but I am trying to get the example ragenativeUI menu to load into my lspdfr plugins callout, but I am getting a game freeze when I accept one of the callouts using my plugin. I'm working with Albo on this but he is studying for exams I believe, so I wondered if anyone here could help me out. I'm sure it is a quick fix. I have a .rar ready to send to a helpful somebody

If your game is freezing when you're calling it I would assume it's from not yielding the gamefiber you create it in.  I would try that!
