Player Prompt and QueryBox

[lucifer1101]

Does anybody know if these work or not. if so how could i implement them

[Bobosk]

They're a little outdated.. i would only use it with TE… and then, it get's a little wierd..

[lucifer1101]

i thaught that they would go good in a quest script

They function alright, but they were rendered obsolete by custom menus.

[lucifer1101]

but still if im no good with custom menus this would be good for a accept/decline type system

Nobody really uses prompts anymore, it will certainly make your game stand out…. I'm not sure if it will be in a good way, though.
Custom menu's are much more versatile. There's a tutorial that Pickle made a while back, look into that.

It was a bit tough for a bit, but after about an hour or two, I could make them functional.

To answer your original question, yes, someone knows.

Prompts and QueryBoxes weren't used even when they were new, largely due to a misunderstanding of how they worked. I personally like them, and have implemented them in several scripts. I'll throw some examples up here in a second.

While we're on the subject, isn't it also possible to add query boxes onto custom menus, and add "yes" and "no" inputs onto custom menus? o.o

And wow, balliztik, I forgot those guides existed. Might make a prompt or query box myself, xD.

It's possible for a query box, but you have to script a prompt via two separate buttons (which may be simpler).

Custom menu + query box + player prompt = PWNAGE! I gotta try that myself.
