SRL Archive - Outdated Tutorials

Well, this is more a "let you know" than a tutorial. It's about a new function in SCAR 3.20, and that is Alert().

Those of you using 3.20 would have noticed this:



As you press PLAY. Well, now you can create your own alert boxes, using Alert. It is used like this:

program New;
begin
  Alert('Alert()');
end.

This would show:



This function is especially handy for SMART users. If you are on your computer, and want it to alert you when you encounter a random event silently, then you could do:

program New;
begin
  Alert('RANDOM EVENT!');
end.

Of course, it would have to be used only when it finds a random event. This can be implemented by modifying you AntiRandoms.scar. Anyway, this would output:



Hopefully, this "let you know" helped you out. Please post what you think of it, and how it can be improved.

Thanks,
Richard

Most of the room is taken by the pics and SCAR code boxes :p.

Thanks guys,

if FindNormalRandoms then Alert('Good job, nice tut')

if (HermenNiceComment = True) then
  Alert('Thanks');

Well explained, good job on this one.

Is there any way to change the icon for the Alert thing? :)

From the pencil and paper? I don't think so. I'll ask Freddy of his forums.

if (HermenNiceComment = True) then
  Alert('Thanks');

if (HermenNiceComment = True) then
  Alert('Thanks');

->

if (HermenNiceComment) then
  Alert('Thanks');

Never knew about that! thanks!

Is it possible to add your own image instead of default one?

I'll see if Freddy has replied on his forums, then post back here.

EDIT: Nope, no one has replied yet.

I don't think it's possible as of current SCAR version, but I really do believe that it would be fairly easy to give SCAR the ability to add a custom bitmap to the Alert() procedure. I think Freddy could implement it with ease if he bothered to/saw usefulness in it.

I helped Freddy paying for this component, btw. :rolleyes:

This might be useful to someone :)



[PHP]procedure OnRandomFind;
begin
Alert('Random!');
end;

SRL_Procs[srl_OnFindRandom] := @OnRandomFind;[/PHP]

And cool "Tut" :)

I already use that in my Wine Telegrabber :P

Hmm, do you think you could contact him about this as a suggestion for the upcoming version of SCAR?

EDIT:

Freddy's response to the question about the picture:

No it's not possible to change this, the picture indicates that it's either a script or program alert.
