<span class="anchor" id="line-2"></span><p class="line867"><hr /><p class="line874"> <span class="anchor" id="line-3"></span>There are two basic things that occur in GUIs: <span class="anchor" id="line-4"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-5"></span><p class="line874">1. The user clicks an element that causes an action <span class="anchor" id="line-6"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-7"></span><p class="line874">2. The action sends commands, performs a separate script, or starts an animation <span class="anchor" id="line-8"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-9"></span><p class="line862">In order to make this happen, <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDefs</a> have to contain scripts. To add scripting to a <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a> in the GUI editor, select the <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDefs</a> and hit <strong>ctrl + Enter</strong>. Scripts are then entered in the window that pops up. Multiple scripting functions can be entered in the window, so a scripting window could contain scripts, for example, for <strong>onMouseEnter</strong>, <strong>onMouseExit</strong>, and <strong>onAction</strong> (see below for more information on specific scripting functions). <span class="anchor" id="line-10"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-11"></span><p class="line874">The syntax for scripting elements looks like the following example: <span class="anchor" id="line-12"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-13"></span><p class="line867"><span class="anchor" id="line-14"></span><pre> OnScriptElementName

<h2 id="head-dcc908e1b060c59d34b4d7b8f95d1ac51626e6f6">Common Script Commands</h2>
<span class="anchor" id="line-22"></span><p class="line867"><hr /><p class="line874"> <span class="anchor" id="line-23"></span>
<h4 id="head-4f5eab5e09f80856d56ba9a3d1e889f6f9d11252">Set and Transition</h4>
<span class="anchor" id="line-24"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-25"></span><p class="line862">The two most common script commands are <strong>set</strong> and <strong>transition</strong>. Both are used to set or change values of a <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a> flag. Scripts can change the flags of the <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a> that contains the script or other windowDefs as well. If the script is changing the flags of its own <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a>, the “windowname::flag” syntax can be dropped and only the flag is needed (see examples below). <span class="anchor" id="line-26"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-27"></span><p class="line874">The following are some examples with the “set” command syntax. <span class="anchor" id="line-28"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-29"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><p class="line891"><strong>set “visible” “0” ;</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-30"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-31"></span></li></ul><p class="line862">This turns off the visibility of the <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a> that contains the script. <span class="anchor" id="line-32"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-33"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><p class="line891"><strong>set “foo::visible” “1” ;</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-34"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-35"></span></li></ul><p class="line862">This enables the visibility of the <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a> named “foo”. <span class="anchor" id="line-36"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-37"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><p class="line891"><strong>set “cmd” “close” ;</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-38"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-39"></span></li></ul><p class="line874">This sends a command to close the GUI. <span class="anchor" id="line-40"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-41"></span><p class="line867"><hr /><p class="line874"> <span class="anchor" id="line-42"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-43"></span><p class="line874">Commands can be sent as if the user typed them into the console: <span class="anchor" id="line-44"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-45"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><p class="line891"><strong>consolecmd “si_map mp/q4dm1” ;</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-46"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-47"></span></li></ul><p class="line874">This specific command sets the server map to be mp/q4dm1 <span class="anchor" id="line-48"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-49"></span><p class="line867"><hr /><p class="line874"> <span class="anchor" id="line-50"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-51"></span><p class="line867"><strong>Transition</strong> is used to change one flag value to another over time. This is often used for mouseover color changes and <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a> size changes but can be used for other cases as well. The transition command requires two values to transition between and a time to perform the transition in milliseconds.The following are some examples with the “transition” command syntax. <span class="anchor" id="line-52"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-53"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><p class="line891"><strong>transition “matcolor” “1,1,1,1” “1,1,0,1” “100” ;</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-54"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-55"></span></li></ul><p class="line862">This transitions the color of the image in a <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a> from white to yellow over 100 milliseconds. The following performs the same function but only transitions the <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef's</a> alpha color: <span class="anchor" id="line-56"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-57"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><p class="line891"><strong>transition “matcolor_w” “1” “0” “100” ;</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-58"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-59"></span></li></ul><p class="li
<h4 id="head-78a7dbd2f86f77b9fdef9847be3e19ab157fc617">setFocus</h4>
<span class="anchor" id="line-64"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-65"></span><p class="line862">setFocus is used mostly in console menus. This command is used to set the mouse focus of a specific <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a>. The syntax is as follows: <span class="anchor" id="line-66"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-67"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><p class="line891"><strong>setFocus “windowname” ;</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-68"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-69"></span></li></ul><p class="line867">
<h4 id="head-6c068c50681559aa9c75a143fdaa832e59142b1d">Stoptransitions</h4>
<span class="anchor" id="line-70"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-71"></span><p class="line862">The <strong>stoptransitions</strong> command is used to halt an animation or transition. This is similar to setting the <strong>notime</strong> flag, but the main difference is that setting <strong>notime</strong> will allow the animation to finish all of its onTime steps, whereas <strong>stoptransitions</strong> will break out of the onTime or the transition statements altogether. The following example illustrates its context: <span class="anchor" id="line-72"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-73"></span><p class="line867"><span class="anchor" id="line-74"></span><pre> windowDef button1
<span class="anchor" id="line-75"></span> {

<span class="anchor" id="line-100"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-101"></span><p class="line862">The <strong>noninteractive</strong> command is used to make the entire GUI noninteractive until the flag has been set to 0, making it interactive again: <span class="anchor" id="line-102"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-103"></span><ul><li style="list-style-type:none"><p class="line891"><strong>Noninteractive "1" ;</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-104"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-105"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-106"></span></li></ul><p class="line867">

<span class="anchor" id="line-167"></span><p class="line867"><hr /><p class="line874"> <span class="anchor" id="line-168"></span>GUIs often use animations to transition between screens or to animate background elements, and in the Quake 4 GUI system <strong>onTime</strong> is used to define animations that will occur in specified time steps. <strong>onTime</strong> is used just like any other scripting element in a <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a>: <span class="anchor" id="line-169"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-170"></span><p class="line867"><span class="anchor" id="line-171"></span><pre> windowDef foo
<span class="anchor" id="line-172"></span> {
<span class="anchor" id="line-173"></span> rect 0,0,1,1
<span class="anchor" id="line-174"></span> visible 0
<span class="anchor" id="line-175"></span> notime 0
<span class="anchor" id="line-176"></span>
<span class="anchor" id="line-177"></span> onTime 0
<span class="anchor" id="line-178"></span> {
<span class="anchor" id="line-179"></span> // statements here to execute

<span class="anchor" id="line-182"></span></pre><span class="anchor" id="line-183"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-184"></span><p class="line862">Note: <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDefs</a> do not have to be visible for their onTime scripts to run. It's common to house animations in small <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDefs</a> with rect properties set to 0,0,1,1, make them invisible, and then use the <strong>resettime</strong> command to make them run (see <strong>resettime</strong> below). <span class="anchor" id="line-185"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-186"></span><p class="line874">The syntax can be written in one of two ways. The following two examples both do the same thing: they cause “foo”s backcolor to change from white with full alpha to white with zero alpha, then back to full alpha, then back to zero alpha, and finally back to full alpha. <span class="anchor" id="line-187"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-188"></span><p class="line867"><strong>Example 1</strong> <span class="anchor" id="line-189"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-190"></span><pre> onTime 0

In the second example, each <strong>onTime</strong> performs its next action +X seconds after the previously defined action. Deciding which syntax to use depends on what you want to accomplish. The second type of syntax is usually easier to use for very large animations where you may need to tweak individual time steps and it would be inconvenient to adjust all of the times in your <strong>onTime</strong> script. <span class="anchor" id="line-235"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-236"></span><p class="line867"><strong>Animations</strong> can be looped through the <strong>resettime</strong> command. The <strong>resettime</strong> command can be used at the end of an onTime script or it can be sent from another script just like the set command. When used outside of the animation loop itself, such as from another <a href="./Def_Types.html">windowDef</a>, the <strong>resettime</strong> command will start an animation from the beginning. <span class="anchor" id="line-237"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-238"></span><p class="line862">The following is an example of the “white full alpha to white with zero alpha” animation looped with the <strong>resettime</strong> command: <span class="anchor" id="line-239"></span><span class="anchor" id="line-240"></span><p class="line867"><span class="anchor" id="line-241"></span><pre> onTime 0
