HIDDEN UPLINK - Can be stored in anything but the host item has to have a trigger for it. How to create an uplink in 3 easy steps!
-
All obj/item 's have a hidden_uplink var. By default it's null. Give the item one with "new(src)", it must be in it's contents. Feel free to add "uses".
-
Code in the triggers. Use check_trigger for this, I recommend closing the item's menu with "usr << browse(null, "window=windowname") if it returns true. The var/value is the value that will be compared with the var/target. If they are equal it will activate the menu.
-
If you want the menu to stay until the users locks his uplink, add an active_uplink_check(mob/user) in your interact/attack_hand proc. Then check if it's true, if true return. This will stop the normal menu appearing and will instead show the uplink menu.
Vars | |
| active | Whether uplink is currently open. |
|---|---|
| cached_cart | A cached version of shopping_cart containing all the data for the tgui side |
| lucky_numbers | A list of 3 categories and item indexes in uplink_cats, to show as recommendedations |
| shopping_cart | An assoc list of references (the variable called reference on an uplink item) and its value being how many of the item |
Procs | |
| check_trigger | Checks to see if the value meets the target. Like a frequency being a traitor_frequency, in order to unlock a headset.
If true, it accesses trigger() and returns TRUE. If it fails, it returns FALSE. Use this to see if you need to close the current item's menu. |
| tgui_act_modal | Called in tgui_act() to process modal actions |
| toggle | Toggles the uplink on and off. Normally this will bypass the item's normal functions and go to the uplink menu, if activated. |
| trigger | Directly trigger the uplink. Turn on if it isn't already. |
