Title: problems opening menu file
Post by: buttkicker845 on January 02, 2016, 03:12:16 am

im trying to open a menu file once each player is spawned that will allow them to pick specific weapons to be spawned with. but the menu file will not open.
this is what i have

onPlayerSpawn()
{
	self endon("disconnect");
		self waittill( "spawned_player" );
		self SetClientDvars( "cg_deadChatWithDead", "1",
		"cg_deadChatWithTeam", "1",
		"cg_deadHearTeamLiving", "1",
		"cg_deadHearAllLiving", "1",
		"compass", "0",
		"hud_showStance", "1",
		"cg_thirdPerson", "0",
		"cg_fov", "65",
		"friendlyfire_enabled", "0",	
		"scr_player_healthregentime" ,"99999",
		"g_friendlyfireDist", "0",
		"g_friendlyNameDist" , "0");
		self set_weapons();
		self thread onPlayerRespawn();
}
set_weapons()
{
 
	if(!isDefined(self.spawnedOnTeam) || !self.spawnedOnTeam)
	{
                self openMenuNoMouse("test_menu");//open the weapon choice menu
		weapon = undefined;
		startWeapon = undefined;
 
		self takeAllWeapons();
		if(!isDefined(self.team))
		{
			self.team = "allies";
			self giveWeapon( "m1garand" );
			self giveWeapon( "fraggrenade" );
			startWeapon = "m1garand";
			rand = randomInt(2);
			if(rand == 0)
			{
				weapon = "bar";
			}
			else
			{
				weapon = "thompson";
			}
		}
		else
		{
			if(self.team == "allies")
			{
				self giveWeapon( "m1garand" );
				self giveWeapon( "fraggrenade" );
				startWeapon = "m1garand";
				rand = randomInt(2);
				if(rand == 0)
				{
					weapon = "bar";
				}
				else
				{
					weapon = "thompson";
				}
			}
			else
			{
				self giveWeapon( "kar98k" );
				self giveWeapon( "stielhandgranate" );
				startWeapon = "kar98k";
				rand = randomInt(3);
				if(rand == 0)
				{
					weapon = "mp40";
				}
				else if( rand == 1)
				{
					weapon = "stg44";
				}
				else
				{
					weapon = "fg42_scoped";
				}
			}
		}
		//sets the secondary weapon for the current player
		self giveWeapon( weapon );
		// Switches the player's weapon once he spawns in
		self switchToWeapon( startWeapon );
	}
	self giveWeapon("m8_white_smoke");
	self giveweapon("rocket_barrage");
	self setactionslot(4,"weapon","rocket_barrage");
	self giveMaxAmmo( "rocket_barrage" );
}

the rest of the function runs perfectly fine but the menu file never opens. and i dont get any errors about not prechaching the menu file or not including it in a fastfile
does anyone know why it not opening?

Do you have a menu file in raw\ui\scriptmenus called test_menu.menu ?
Also do you have a csv file that contains the line:

menufile,ui\scriptmenus\test_menu.menu

And finally do you have the file precached before _zombiemode.gsc is called using the line:

precachemenu("test_menu");

Well your script looks fine logically, but it would definitely help if you showed how and where you were calling the onPlayerSpawn() function, since I have a suspicion your player isn't actually defined.

Also make sure that your self.spawnedOnTeam really isn't defined or that you set it to false.

main()
{
	createAiBias();
	maps\squad_control::squad_control_init();
	level thread onPlayerConnect();
	level.alliesLives = 10;
	level.axisLives = 10;
}
onPlayerConnect()
{
	setDvar("cheats" , "1");
	while(1)
	{
		level waittill( "connecting", player );
		player SetClientDvars( "cg_deadChatWithDead", "1",
		"cg_deadChatWithTeam", "1",
		"cg_deadHearTeamLiving", "1",
		"cg_deadHearAllLiving", "1",
		"compass", "0",
		"hud_showStance", "0",
		"cg_thirdPerson", "0",
		"cg_fov", "65",
		"friendlyfire_enabled", "0",
		"scr_player_healthregentime" ,"99999",
		"g_friendlyfireDist", "0",
		"g_friendlyNameDist" , "0",
		"monkeytoy" , "0");//final version will be 1
		player thread onPlayerSpawn();
 
	}
}

the main method is called right after maps\_load::main() and im positive that self.spawnedOnTeam either isnt defined or is false since the rest of the method runs fine. it just doesnt open the menu file
