Drop down menu

[Visvalor]

Doing a custom ruleset and need a drop down menu for selecting race that will then change the basic stats of the character :P

Anyone have any idea how to make a drop-down menu in FG?

[Foen]

There is no exact method for replicating drop-down functionality, because it isn't possible to determine if a control (other than a text control) has lost the focus. A similar effect can be achieved using a windowlist control that floats near the target field and is either visible or invisible depending on whether the user has clicked on a trigger.

The Pathfinder ruleset makes good use of this feature, so hopefully you shouldn't have to wait long before you can see it in action.

I thought about using a radio button style click thing as I saw those were supported :p but I have 26 races.

So you are saying I should look into Pathfinder and see how they did it?

[Foen]

I'm not sure if the Pathfinder code can be freely re-used, but the concept can be seen in action - not least you can see if that is the kind of thing you are after.

[Visvalor]

That is true =D I'll go have a look see in a bit thanks.

Other then them however any idea how to make a selection out of 26 options without taking too much space :P?

[Foen]

You could use a scrollable list (like the one in the FG launcher, where you select the campaign), or allow freeform data entry with validation/autocomplete (like the NPC skill list).

THAT would definitely work :P

Problem is I'm still rather new ^^ any idea where to go to find out how exactly to do this?

[joshuha]

I created a template for a drop down like control, let me see if I can dig it up today. It needed some small tweaks but worked for the most part.

[joshuha]

So this is all very crude and I never got around to refining it but basically my "dropdown" simulates putting a new window on right below the current string control. Like Foen noted though this has some issue if you click off the window entirely getting focus back can get tricky.

You will also notice in my LUA file I was trying some math to get the alignment of text right in the dropdown and that may need some more fiddling with as well but its a start. Also it uses some math to determine where in the dropdown you clicked.



Template definition



<template name="dropdown">
<windowlist>
<bounds>0,0,1,1</bounds>
<frame>
<name>modifier</name>
<offset>10,5,5,5</offset>
</frame>
<noscroll />
<skipempty />
<class>string_only</class>
<script file="scripts/dropdown.lua"></script>
</windowlist>
</template>



dropdown.lua file


list = {};
state = "non-init";
field = "";

function getState()
return state;
end

function setState(newstate)
state = newstate;
end

function onClickDown(button,x,y)
itemnum = math.floor(y/15+1);
if itemnum >= 1 and itemnum <= table.maxn(list) then
window[field].setValue(list[itemnum]);
end
setState("off");
setVisible(false);
return true;
end

function createDropdown(x,y,infield,inlist)
listcount = table.maxn(inlist);
field = infield;
--assume 20 pixel height
--100 baseline width
basew,w = 100,100;
h = listcount * 15;
setStaticBounds(x,y,w,h);

for i=1, listcount do

list[i] = inlist[i];
if string.len(inlist[i])*5 > basew then
w = string.len(inlist[i])*5;
end
local newentry = createWindow();
newentry.text.setValue(inlist[i]);
newentry.text.setReadOnly(true);
end

if w > basew then
setStaticBounds(x,y,w,h);
end
end



Example of use:


<stringcontrol name="sc_font">
<bounds>223,43,100,20</bounds>
<font>sheetlabelsmall</font>
<frame>
<name>modifier</name>
<offset>10,5,5,0</offset>
</frame>
<static>sheetlabel</static>
</stringcontrol>

<genericcontrol name="sc_font_button">
<bounds>323,43,20,20</bounds>
<icon>button_ctnextactor</icon>
<script>
function onClickDown(button, x, y)
if window.sc_font_dropdown.getState() == "off" then
window.sc_font_dropdown.setState("on");
window.sc_font_dropdown.setVisible(true);
elseif window.sc_font_dropdown.getState() == "on" then
window.sc_font_dropdown.setState("off");
window.sc_font_dropdown.setVisible(false);
elseif window.sc_font_dropdown.getState() == "non-init" then
window.sc_font_dropdown.createDropdown(223,60,"sc_font",{"sheetlabel","sheettext", "sheettextsmall"});
window.sc_font_dropdown.setState("on");
window.sc_font_dropdown.setVisible(true);
end
end
</script>
</genericcontrol>

<dropdown name="sc_font_dropdown" >
<invisible />
</dropdown>

[Visvalor]

It's appreciated ^^ I'll tell you what's what soon as I install it.

[Visvalor]

I get this;

Script Error:[string"charsheet_main:sc_font_button]1:attempt to index field 'sc_font_drowndown'(a nil value)

What am I doing wrong :P?

[ddavison]

I was going to wait for the Pathfinder ruleset to release fully before exposing this functionality, but since I don't know exactly how long it will take to get approval from Paizo... we might as well release it now. We can list two versions, the alpha version which works very well but requires a lot more scripting and then the streamlined version that Foen helped refine (assuming he is okay with sharing it.) I'll just post the alpha version here.

Sample video showing it in action:
Video 1 (www.fantasygrounds.com/images/screenshots/Fantasy_Grounds_Pathfinder_Vid1.wmv)
Video 2 (www.fantasygrounds.com/images/screenshots/Fantasy_Grounds_Pathfinder_Vid1.wmv)

Summary:
1. Add a dropdown icon to the string control you want to use. (In truth it should also work for numeric controls.)
2. When the dropdown icon is clicked, display a previously invisible windowlist control inside a frame that looks like a dropdown.
3. The windowlist is filled with dropdownlistitems which bubble a click event to pass the value to the target control and then re-hide the windowlist
4. Provide other cool features like auto-complete if the user chooses to type in their values. ** Don't force a selection from the list

Add to common_templates.xml or a new file linked to your ruleset's base.xml

... and the dropdown list definition with individual dropdownlistitem values. The ddl has a <target> element which references the original control where the selected value will be written. The nice thing is that it is really more of a combo box. It doesn't restrict answers to only those in the list. If you want to play a new custom house-rule race you just need to type it in. In my example, I also add a lookuphandler to the race field that allows the typed in entry to auto-complete as well.

add this to base.xml

add this to graphics.xml and supply an appropriate image


<icon name="button_dropdown" file="icons/button_dropdown.png" />



Note that with this version there is a lot of manual placement of the dropdownlist, the width of the controls, the triggers, etc. The race one was the first proof of concept one and I didn't go back and adjust it after the fact to reflect an easier placement.

Foen improved this all by adding a few more functions and putting it all into a nice and neat template.

[Visvalor]

I put everything in correctly I believe :\ but it doesn't show up. No errors though so now I'm confused...

<script name="Lookups" file="scripts/global_lookups.lua" />

is in the base.xml does the other one need to be there too?

[Visvalor]

Also one of your scripts references lookuphandler.lua :\ I must have overlooked that.

Eh nvm that :p replaced lookuphandler with global_lookup.lua and it works fine ;D woot thx!

[Foen]

As Doug mentioned, there is a revised drop-down template in the pipeline (I think it will be in the Pathfinder and BRP rulesets), which I also hope to include in the FGBase ruleset. The attached images show the drop-down before it is activated, the activated drop-down and the auto-complete functionality for a trivial case (character gender).

The following sample code shows how this revised version can be included more simply in the windowclass definition. It still requires the global lookup script to define the list contents.



<labeledstring name="gender">
<anchored>
<to>overviewframe</to>
<position>insidetopleft</position>
<offset>15,32</offset>
<size>

</DropDown>


Cheers

Foen

[drahkar]

Is that revised implementation included right now or still being developed? Based on how Doug worded it I thought it was still being developed.

[Foen]

It is already included in version 0.6 of the Base Ruleset (https://oberoten.dyndns.org/fgwiki/index.php/Base_Ruleset) from the FG Wiki, but the other rulesets haven't been released yet.

[joshuha]

I get this;

Script Error:[string"charsheet_main:sc_font_button]1:attempt to index field 'sc_font_drowndown'(a nil value)

What am I doing wrong :P?

If you are still using my attempt (which is not as refined as the other template given by Foen) are you sure that's the exact error message cause sc_font_drowndown isn't in my example anywhere?

[Visvalor]

Not using yours anymore so not sure what the error says heh :p

[Visvalor]

Works great, but now I've got a bit of an issue with the reference frame being transparent, I figured it was a resizing issue since the reference frame was a bit large so I made a new frame at 125/120 to fit it better but still having issues with transparency (Being able to see the strings behind it) any idea?
