Create Popup/Window/Modal

[Bizzi]

It's possible to create Popups over an Mod?

For sample, i had try to create it by the sample of modwarningscreen.lua.

local require = GLOBAL.require
local IsServer = GLOBAL.TheNet:GetIsServer()
local TheFrontEnd = GLOBAL.TheFrontEnd;
print(GLOBAL);
-- modimport("client/MiniMap.lua")
local RulesWindow = require "screens/RulesWindow"

TheFrontEnd:PushScreen(RulesWindow("TITLE", "TEXT", {
	{text="OK", cb = function() TheFrontEnd:PopScreen() end}
}))

local Screen = require "widgets/screen"
local Button = require "widgets/button"
local AnimButton = require "widgets/animbutton"
local Menu = require "widgets/menu"
local Text = require "widgets/text"
local Image = require "widgets/image"
local UIAnim = require "widgets/uianim"
local Widget = require "widgets/widget"

local RulesWindow = Class(Screen, function(self, title, text, buttons, texthalign, additionaltext, textsize)
	Screen._ctor(self, "RulesWindow")

    TheInputProxy:SetCursorVisible(true)

	--darken everything behind the dialog
	self.black = self:AddChild(Image("images/global.xml", "square.tex"))
    self.black:SetVRegPoint(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)
    self.black:SetHRegPoint(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)
    self.black:SetVAnchor(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)
    self.black:SetHAnchor(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)
    self.black:SetScaleMode(SCALEMODE_FILLSCREEN)
	self.black:SetTint(0,0,0,.8)
	
	self.root = self:AddChild(Widget("ROOT"))
    self.root:SetVAnchor(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)
    self.root:SetHAnchor(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)
    self.root:SetPosition(0,0,0)
    self.root:SetScaleMode(SCALEMODE_PROPORTIONAL)

	--title	
    self.title = self.root:AddChild(Text(TITLEFONT, 50))
    self.title:SetPosition(0, 170, 0)
    self.title:SetString(title)

	--text
	local defaulttextsize = 24
	if textsize then
		defaulttextsize = textsize
	end

	
    self.text = self.root:AddChild(Text(BODYTEXTFONT, defaulttextsize))
	self.text:SetVAlign(ANCHOR_TOP)

	if texthalign then
		self.text:SetHAlign(texthalign)
	end


    self.text:SetPosition(0, 40, 0)
    self.text:SetString(text)
    self.text:EnableWordWrap(true)
    self.text:SetRegionSize(480*2, 200)
    
    if additionaltext then
	    self.additionaltext = self.root:AddChild(Text(BODYTEXTFONT, 24))
		self.additionaltext:SetVAlign(ANCHOR_TOP)
	    self.additionaltext:SetPosition(0, -150, 0)
	    self.additionaltext:SetString(additionaltext)
	    self.additionaltext:EnableWordWrap(true)
	    self.additionaltext:SetRegionSize(480*2, 100)
    end

	self.version = self:AddChild(Text(BODYTEXTFONT, 20))
	--self.version:SetHRegPoint(ANCHOR_LEFT)
	--self.version:SetVRegPoint(ANCHOR_BOTTOM)
	self.version:SetHAnchor(ANCHOR_LEFT)
	self.version:SetVAnchor(ANCHOR_BOTTOM)
	self.version:SetHAlign(ANCHOR_LEFT)
	self.version:SetVAlign(ANCHOR_BOTTOM)
	self.version:SetRegionSize(200, 40)
	self.version:SetPosition(110, 30, 0)
	self.version:SetString("Rev. "..APP_VERSION.." "..PLATFORM)
	
	if buttons then
	    --create the menu itself
	    local button_w = 200
	    local space_between = 20
	    local spacing = button_w + space_between
	
	    self.menu = self.root:AddChild(Menu(buttons, 250, true))
	    self.menu:SetHRegPoint(ANCHOR_MIDDLE)
	    self.menu:SetPosition(0, -250, 0)
	    self.default_focus = self.menu
	end
end)

return RulesWindow

This my first try with LUA.

what do you want? A ingame setting screen? The "auto actions" mod has such a thing when pressing "p", maybe the code of the mod helps?

Menus and such stuff are very complicated. I'm advanced at lua programming, but I think menu/gui stuff is very very hard and I'm not able to code or even understand it
So I would suggest you start with something easier.

Thanks, but the game-scripts helping a little bit more.

Here is an working example:

local require				= GLOBAL.require
local PopupDialogScreen		= require "screens/popupdialog"

function CreatePopup(inst)	
	local function onOkay()
        GLOBAL.TheFrontEnd:PopScreen()
    end

    GLOBAL.TheFrontEnd:PushScreen(PopupDialogScreen("Popup Title", "Popup Body", {
		{
			-- Set Text
			text = "OK",
			
			-- Create Callback
			cb = onOkay
		}
	}))
end

AddPlayerPostInit(CreatePopup)
