LUA ‐ How to use messageboxes and notifications

Messagebox & Notifications

Notifications

Introduction

There's honestly not a lot to talk about the Windows notification, except this only supports windows.

Tutorial

The ways to make a Windows notification happen is to use an event or a lua line.

Here are the ways on how to make one happen:

• Chart Editor Event (Windows Notification Event)
• triggerEvent('Windows Notification', 'title', 'info/message')
• runHaxeCode([[sendWindowsNotification('title', 'info/message');]])

Explainable things, title is the title, info/message is the text you want it to talk about.

Messageboxes

Introduction

This may seem like nonsense, but one of the most important uses for the messagebox is debugging code and "breaking the fourth wall" using simple tools.

Tutorial

Lua:

To make the game pause: triggerEvent('Popup', 'title', 'info/message')

To make the game not pause: triggerEvent('Popup (No Pause)', 'title', 'info/message')

Examples

Here's an example of the player's botplay being forced off.

THIS WAS MADE WITHOUT ANY TESTING, PLEASE MAKE A DISCUSSION PAGE IF THIS DOES NOT WORK

Notification

function onCreatePost()
     notifTitle = 'Jordan Santiago'
     notifMessage = 'Nope! Fuck you!'
     -- change the notifTitle and notifMessage if you want to, it has to be in a string format, or it will not work.
     if botplay then
          triggerEvent('Windows Notification', notifTitle, notifMessage)
          setPropertyFromClass('ClientPrefs', 'botplay', false)
     end
end

function onResume()
     runTimer('check thingy', 0.05)
end

function onTimerCompleted(tag)
     if tag == 'check thingy' then
          if botplay then
               triggerEvent('Windows Notification', notifTitle, notifMessage)
               setPropertyFromClass('ClientPrefs', 'botplay', false)
          end  
     end
end
