Introduction
Welcome to my Form Creation Service! I've recently started creating forms and I have to say… I just love them! I feel that every script on this forum should have a form because not only is it easy for new users to fill out, it makes your scripts look better!
If you're interested but also wondering what it'll cost you? Well… absolutely nothing! This service is 100% free! :)
Created
As I stated, I have only just started but this form is in full working order and ready for use in my Dwarven Miner (once I update it of course):
How my Forms work
Before you even think about asking me to create a form, you have to understand how my forms work.
Basically, what I do is use the form as a replacement for the DeclarePlayers procedure, using DeclarePlayers as a backup in case the form doesn't load. So when the player presses 'Start', it does this:
Hopefully you can understand what the above is doing. It is basically inserting the values from the form into the DeclarePlayers procedure.
However, we will also have a DeclarePlayers procedure as a backup if the user does not want to use the form. So the mainloop would look like this:
What the above does is see if the constant UseForm is True. If it is, load the form, if it isn't, refer to the DeclarePlayers procedure in which the user should input his or her details manually.
When referring to a value entered entered into DeclarePlayers, you call it as you normally would: Players[CurrentPlayer].Strings[x] because the values from the form has been saved to that variable. So it should look like this:
To sum up, the form will be used as a replacement for DeclarePlayers and if you want to refer to any Strings or Integers within it, you call it as you normally would.
How to Request
To request a form, use this layout:
Example Request:

How my Forms work
Before you even think about asking me to create a form, you have to understand how my forms work.
Basically, what I do is use the form as a replacement for the DeclarePlayers procedure, using DeclarePlayers as a backup in case the form doesn't load. So when the player presses 'Start', it does this:
Procedure ButtonClick(Sender: TObject); //executes when button clicked
Begin
HowManyPlayers := 1;
NumberOfPlayers(HowManyPlayers);
CurrentPlayer := 0;
with Players[0] do
begin
Name := ToStr(Form1_1.InTheUser.Text);
Pass := ToStr(Form1_1.InThePass.Text);
Pin := ToStr(Form1_1.InThePin.Text);
Strings[0] := ToStr(Form1_1.OreSelected.Text); //ore chosen
Strings[1] := ToStr(Form1_1.MethodChosen.Text); //bank or drop
Strings[2] := ToStr(Form1_1.PickSupport.Text); //pick support
Active := True;
end;
Form1_1.Form1_1.ModalResult:= mrOk;
End; Hopefully you can understand what the above is doing. It is basically inserting the values from the form into the DeclarePlayers procedure.
However, we will also have a DeclarePlayers procedure as a backup if the user does not want to use the form. So the mainloop would look like this:
if (USEFORM = True) then
begin
Form1_1_SafeInit;
if Form1_1_SafeShowModal then
WriteLn('Form loaded successfully');
FreeForm(Form1_1.Form1_1);
end else
DeclarePlayers; What the above does is see if the constant UseForm is True. If it is, load the form, if it isn't, refer to the DeclarePlayers procedure in which the user should input his or her details manually.
When referring to a value entered entered into DeclarePlayers, you call it as you normally would: Players[CurrentPlayer].Strings[x] because the values from the form has been saved to that variable. So it should look like this:
procedure MineOre;
begin
case lowercase(Players[CurrentPlayer].Strings[0]) of // refer to the current player, not the form
'coal', 'oal': MineCoal;
'silver', 'ilver': MineSilver;
'mithril', 'ithril': MineMithril;
'iron', 'ron': MineIron;
end;
end; To sum up, the form will be used as a replacement for DeclarePlayers and if you want to refer to any Strings or Integers within it, you call it as you normally would.
