Even if not possible with SexScripts now, could it ever be possible in scripts thanks to groovy?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_box
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop-down_list

That is, where the user can select from a list of 'choices' (example: on CyberMistress' main screen).

I understand if this is impossible, but if it is, it would be so awesome to be able to make 'menus' in a script, or give the user the ability to choose from multiple options (example: four dialog responses to a question).

I had to ask, since I begged for something like this (in scripts) for years in CM, to no avail!

I understand it is not exactly the same thing, but :
- for 2 responses : use if(getBoolean("Blue or red ?", "Blue", "Red")==true)...
- for more, use if(getBooleans("Color ?", ["Blue", "Red", "Yellow"]).contains("Blue")) ...

I'm very excited that the second option you listed might mean "multiple choice buttons"... does it? Can you please give me an example of a code snippet that I could run to see how it works? I'm not sure how to implement it as it stands... that is, how would I make it show a different text message depending if the user picked blue, red or yellow?

I'd still like maybe someday to see "drop down lists" or something if it can be done... but for now, if your example does what I think it does, I'll be very happy with that!

That's the box that appear in toys or clothes scripts. It is not exactly a dropdown, as it let user choose more than one value, and return an array (things with [] ) : valu chosen.
Script above has been corrected.

Ah, so it's the 'checkbox' script, then? Can it be set so that only one option can be chosen (rather than multiple ones)?

Is there any way a 'multiple choice' could be implemented someday (preferably without a popup, so it's in the main window/screen)? If not in a drop-down box style, perhaps as 'radio buttons' (I think that's what they're called) even?

The function getSelectedValue() has been added. Sample :

Wow, thank you!!! That is awesome! Just tested and it seems to work perfectly!

Is there a way to not have the 'cancel' button as an option, though? (that is, force the user to select one of the possible strings)? I like it as an option (useful) but it would be nice if it wasn't always available.

This feature will me changed today (at least to remove this cancel button), please wait for 18/8/2011

No rush, mate... I just really appreciate the new feature! As I said, I wanted this in CM for years!

The only reason I'd want drop-down/combo box type things is because I was hoping to one day be able to emulate CyberMistress' "main screen" (menu options, etc.) If there is ever a way to add new items to the top menu bar like I've previously, annoyingly nagged about (just kidding!) it would negate this anyway (and would probably be better). It is far from a 'must-have' feature, though!

For any 'regular' script, this new feature (getSelectedString) is perfect! Finally, finally I can make a script that asks the player "Which direction? North, south, east, west?" It may seem funny, but it's bugged me for years that I could never do that with any program! You're a legend, mate!

It is better now, and some others are now in-window (sus some do no more return null, no more cancel button). It returns a number (0... : which option the user chose).
useFile() was also corrected.
I updated the main documentation.

OMG! Having *all* those controls now in the main window is AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Something I noticed, though (a bug?): when I run a script with getSelectedValue, it works fine... but when I run it a second time without quitting SS... the drop-down box has TWO 'versions' of the correct text (it's 'repeated'). Is this something in my script, or a bug in the new command?


(oh, and did 'getSelectedString' get removed? I don't suppose we could keep that as well... so we can have 'multiple buttons' or 'a dropdown list' to choose from when scripting? If not, no worries... I don't want to seem greedy!)

It's a bug, it will be corrected in next release (this week).

Cool! Thanks!

Help! I can't make 'getSelectedString' work!


... should work, right? I'm not sure if I've forgotten something or if there's a bug. getString and getSelectedValue work fine (love those multiple buttons!) but I wanted the dropdown effect of getSelectedString!

Is this broken since I last used SexScripts?

Sorry, I corrected above, "getSelectededString()" does not exists.

You can not obtain a dropdown list if it fits into buttons.
