ADukes - gui \ Question:

Post by Davinci »

I'm trying to edit the gui.csv file so that I can click a button to make the camera go down to the ground level.

The default game uses the LShift to move the camera downwards.

Example:

Down,LSHIFT,movedown,,,,,

So, after trying this - the game will crash if the button is clicked during a game, so the question is, is it possible to program a button to simulate the LShift key while in the game?

Thanks,

davinci

Hey D, did you try the command movedown in the GUI function column? ADukes is probably sawing logs, ZZZZZ....time in Deutschland.

Edit: Never mind, I tried it and it didn't work. It didn't crash though, just did nada.

Hey, Reb - yes, as you have found out, that didn't work!

I'm sure that this can be edited \ made to work - it probably just requires a sort of string command.

The function is already in the game, I just can't figure it out!

Thanks, for the assistance.

String commands aren't possible in the GUI function column, I already tried...then asked. If they were possible, my GUI would be full of them...don't ya think. ;)

I am going to request more function columns in the GUI with inclusive strings for the next engine, you can help this cause by finding good 'What If' examples.

Example: tcommon, evtfighting:tcommoff, Aorders:select

OK, Thanks:

I'll keep trying different things, I'm sure that this is possible.

Hey, Plan Two - basically, I'm trying to get the camera down to the ground level with a single click.

Now, the only other function that does this is the follow command.

So, is it possible to call this function three times with a single click?

You know - Follow \ Follow \ Follow Off - Ground Level: Problem Solved!

I tried placing a : between them - that didn't work out too well!

Any Ideas!
