[HELP]Why I can't add a widget button for a new container?

[Jupiters]

@Jupiters, here, I enabled many container buttons:

 

Unfortunately, the button show up in other other chests, such as treasure chests. How can I make the buttons only show up in the magical chest?

@DarkXero

 

After the hard exploration of the day, I think I found where the problem lay.

In magical_chest.lua, there is a line : self:WidgetSetup("treasurechest") . I think this is the problem. I replaced it with these lines:

 

    local magical_chest =

    {

        widget =

        {

            slotpos = {},

            animbank = "ui_chest_3x3",

            animbuild = "ui_chest_3x3",

            pos = Vector3(0, 200, 0),

            side_align_tip = 160,

        },

        type = "chest",

    }

 

    for y = 2, 0, -1 do

        for x = 0, 2 do

            table.insert(magical_chest.widget.slotpos, Vector3(80 * x - 80 * 2 + 80, 80 * y - 80 * 2 + 80, 0))

        end

    end

 

    self:WidgetSetup("magical_chest", magical_chest)

 

The problem was solved. Am I right? Is the line in red right? If so, please help me with this: 

 

Hello @DarkXero

 

Your another post gave an inspiration. ( http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/57411-help-clickable-buttons/ )

Since the content of this mod is too complicated(trade for many things) and client don't know how the mod functions, I want add button for the container that will display the information after clicking and hide it after another clicking. I know how to add a button for a container now but I don't how to display the information.

 

I think this is one way to show clients how the mod functions. How about another way, when the mouse move upon the button ( Let's assume the button's funtion is buy 10 flint for 1 gold nugget. ), a line of words ( the content is " 10 flint for 1 gold nugget ")  will show at the top of the mouse. Does this way work?

 

I am not sure that these two way which is better because I don't know how to do them. Could you please help me out?

 

Thank you!

 

 

Without you, I can't even make a mod!

@Jupiters, those idiots decided to overwrite the container.widgetsetup and broke the function.

I used the data argument to pass widget parameters and they deleted the argument.

 

The correct thing to do would be to call them morons.

I will setup the parameters differently so its compatible with their sloppy override.

Is there any possible that make a new chest that have each slots. When player open the chest, it shows their own slots. Every player only see their slots. And they can see their stuffs in the different chest, which means these chest have common contents.

@Jupiters, it's practically impossible.

You have container, container_replica, and container classified to go through.

 

Try using this, it spawns and swaps chests when people open the void chest.

Spawn a "voidchest" and test it.

It's buggy.
