Hi

I will make it short:

I dont know if freddy, or i can do it my self (or devs), but i think it would be great if a popup, like the one that says sucessefully compiled and executed (In the new scar 3.20)

It should be so, when a random occur, i will tell me. Cause sometimes, i auto, while i am working on the comp, so instead it say that in the debug window, it will popup, and i will do the random manually (since they arent working).

- That was short :D

+1 good idea

T~M

No. It doesn't allow for backwards compatibility.

Ehm, make a POPUPWINDOW('MESSAGE HERE'); function. shouldn't be to hard.

He's talking about Alert().

Right lower corner?
Okay I tested it, why do I never know such things like this… I read the release threads but I never knew this…

Huh ?

Its a function?

Testing immedietly

I mean this:

Btw. Wow!, already 5 replies

PopUpWindow? that doesnt exist?

Oh, cool ! Thats it!

Well, i will put it in my srl

Yeah pretty cool.

replace your antirandoms.scar with this one

Thx, already did the same, almost

But thx for sharing :D

The problem is that Alert is only in SCAR 3.20 and not in 3.15. Many people still use it so SRL would only work with the newest versions.

just make a forum that has editable text and then put it all under a function like..

PopupWindow('message');

and when you call the function it makes the forum pop up with the message

Alert works fine. Only is in SCAR 3.20+ though.

Edit: Sorry, didn't read whole thread.

However, you can use compiler directives to check what version of SCAR ($IFDEF SCAR320) you are using and use alert and if you are not using SCAR 3.20 then it will not do that and cause an error.

You mean form right?

A forum in a script? That would be epic.

I still don't think this is really necessary.

A disguise at the most should work.

From: Nava2

i do
if people like to auto and work on their computer at the same time then they will easily be able to tell when there is a random
which then means they can watch it and see if anything goes wrong
if something does then they can pause/stop the script and do it themselfs

so imo it is a good idea

PlaySound anyone?

PlaySound('Tada.wav');

Or use a compiler directive (like wizzup? used in his multi miner) and make Microsoft SAM say 'you have a random' :)

yes I've used play sound before :p is funny shits you up tho sometimes at night when your reading somehing scars minimized no sound then it makes a big noise :L

Ya, would do it, but Alert(''); Normally recieves more attention

Well, I dunno :/
I usually dont have sound on when working on my comp :)

procedure OnRandomFind;
begin
  Alert('random!');
end;

SRL_Procs[srl_OnFindRandom] := @OnRandomFind;

gotta be creative people ;)

~RM

Still doesn't show you what random it is. Maybe you could make some function return what random was found or something.

From: Rasta Magician

procedure OnRandomFind;
begin
  Alert('random!');
end;

SRL_Procs[srl_OnFindRandom] := @OnRandomFind;

gotta be creative people ;)

~RM

procedure OnRandomFind(RandomName: string);
begin
  Alert('random '+RandomName+'!!!');
end;

SRL_Procs[srl_OnFindRandom] := @OnRandomFind(Capitalize(Randoms[I].Name));

how bout this?

~shut

(RandomName: Boolean);

?

Shouldn't that be a string :p

yea string
sowwy :s

~shut

A really cool idea would be a popup box when you get a random that asks you if you want to solve it or if scar should attempt to solve it. Make it auto timeout incase you aren't at the computer.

Ye that would be a pretty usefull idea in some cases.

Yea, i support that :)

From: Shuttleu

procedure OnRandomFind(RandomName: string);
begin
  Alert('random '+RandomName+'!!!');
end;

SRL_Procs[srl_OnFindRandom] := @OnRandomFind(Capitalize(Randoms[I].Name));

how bout this?

~shut

no, the proc can't have any parameters. however:

Procedure OnRandomFind;
begin
  Alert('random : '+Players[CurrentPlayer].Rand);
end;

but if you intend to solve it manually, i don't see why you'd need the lart to tell you which one it is :p

~RM

A compiler directive would sort out compatibility issues.

As I have already said Quickmarch :rolleyes:.

Edit: RM, it can have a param just do
SRL_OnRandomFind : procedure (s : string);
:D. But it would have to be a seperate procedure :<.

For you, from me!

this is an extremely good idea but perhaps you could incorperate a system alert sound into that have it go ding ding ding along with this popup

From: burnout

you could do that your self actually..
Something like:

if (FindRandom) then
begin
  Alert('stuff');
  PlaySound(sound);
end;

A popup window for randoms isn't a bad idea. I basically have to have the sounds on in order to know if I get a random. I will usually be fishing, and here the teleport sound, so then I go "oh another random". ( just had a random as I typed this, the irony)

Now the down side is that if you're playing a full port game, such as half life, halo or doom etc and that window pops up, it can be disturbing after a while. So I think the idea is good for the most part.

does srl actually have a PlaySound(sound); or i have to make one lol and in making one idk now to play the sound without using windows media player or quick time player to play it…

you have to make one :p you just need the file name for a sound. like tada.wav(or mp3 if you have a better version of SCAR)

also, what about using getaplication(i think).messagebox? that opens a pop-up, and alerts SCAR(it makes it flash in tool bar). then ahve an auto-time out to continue with the script if your not at the cpu

A system like this just got added into SRL.
