menuManager

For 0.7.0alpha

Features

• Create menus from lua tables, allowing your code to be cleaner and more organized
• Requirement and destination system allows for elegantly expressing complex menu flow
• onGUIAction Handler allows for one unified script to handle GUI checks

How to Install

1. Place 'menuManager.lua' in 'scripts/custom'.
2. Add menuManager = require("custom.menuManager") in server/scripts/customScripts.lua (copy and paste if need be)
3. (For scripters who wish to test) Add testMenus.lua to scripts/custom, and add require("custom.testMenus") in customScripts.lua

Creating Menus

1. Use menuManager.create.[menuType](<your chosen GUI ID>, <your menu definition>) in your script to create a new menu of the given type.
2. You may then access your menu's data or have menuManager display it by calling menuManager.menu[<your chosen GUI ID>]:show(pid). - If the identifier you chose was already in use, create() will return false and ignore the new menu request.
   - By default, the only requirement for showing a menu to a player is that said player must exist. Add a check to ensure the player is logged in through the requirements table.

• Check menuManager.lua and testMenus.lua for examples/information on how to format your menus. Refer to step 3 of the installation instructions above if you wish to see testMenus.lua in action.
