How to use:

0) Load phunlet
It use collision group G so place it right (or change collideSet if you need to)

1) Create your menu as list variable:
[Title_string, Width_int, ItemCount_int, [item1_string, item2_string...], [item1_action, item2_action...]]

2) Call scene.my.menuOpen(menu, pos) in yellow laser onLaserHit event

That's all!

If you want make sub menu, you must do exactly the same - declare sub-menu variable and fill it with items, then call this menu from "parent" menu item action. To set correct pos for submenu you can use scene.my.subMenuPos(selected_item) function.

Code: Select all

Scene.my.menuDefault := ["Menu", 7, 2, ["Change color...", "Exit menu"], [{scene.my.menuOpen(scene.my.colorMenu, scene.my.subMenuPos(1))}, {scene.my.menuClose}]];

Scene.my.colorMenu := ["Set menu colors", 10, 5, ["White", "Dark gray", "Orange", "Ocean", "Night city"], [{
    Scene.my.menuColor = Scene.my.menuTheme(0);
    scene.my.menuClose
}, {
    Scene.my.menuColor = Scene.my.menuTheme(1);
    scene.my.menuClose
}, {
    Scene.my.menuColor = Scene.my.menuTheme(2);
    scene.my.menuClose
}, {
    Scene.my.menuColor = Scene.my.menuTheme(3);
    scene.my.menuClose
}, {
    Scene.my.menuColor = Scene.my.menuTheme(4);
    scene.my.menuClose
}]];

So... the question is - do you want check-boxes and radio-buttons?

[Kilinich]

I've test "dynamic" menu variable and it works fine, for example if you need some of menu items must be inactive depends on variable - no problem:

Code: Select all

scene.my.var := 2;
scene.my.active := (txt, isActive) => {isActive ? txt : "<markup><s>"+txt+"</s></markup>"};
scene.my.liveMenu := {["Dynamic menu example", 12, 1, [scene.my.active("var is big", scene.my.var > 3)], [{scene.my.menuClose}]]};

One of the best uses of thyme i've ever seen! Good job!

I saved it as a phunlet, and it won't work.
What I did was:
Open the phunlet, fix it to the background
Copy and paste the menu-code (code in the first post) into the console and press enter
press the tab key to test the phunlet; nothing happened.

What am I doing wrong?

Did you run the simulator?

[TC42]

Yes, the sim was running when I tried to use it.

Reset config.
Check console for errors.

[TC42]

I reset my config (using the in-game reset)
Console said this when I loaded up the phunlet

Code: Select all

Loading Algodoo/scenes/phunlets/UserMenu.phz...

When I pressed the tab key, the console didn't say anything, but the yellow laser did fire.

Damn, who told you to SAVE it as phunlet from algodoo - it just erase scene.my section.
Save it to phunlet folder from browser!

Ohhhhh. That would explain it. Thanks!!
