OTClient Chat/walking System

[Itutorial]

So I am trying to make it so players use WASD walking always. The chat box should activate by pressing enter.

I can't figure out how to get it so when I press enter the chatbox is enabled and if I press it again (even with no text) it will disable.

Any help would be great.

function enableChat()
  local gameInterface = modules.game_interface

  consoleTextEdit:setVisible(true)
  consoleTextEdit:setText("")

  g_keyboard.unbindKeyUp("Space")
  g_keyboard.unbindKeyUp("Enter")
  g_keyboard.unbindKeyUp("Escape")

  gameInterface.unbindWalkKey("W")
  gameInterface.unbindWalkKey("D")
  gameInterface.unbindWalkKey("S")
  gameInterface.unbindWalkKey("A")

  gameInterface.unbindWalkKey("E")
  gameInterface.unbindWalkKey("Q")
  gameInterface.unbindWalkKey("C")
  gameInterface.unbindWalkKey("Z")

  consoleToggleChat:setTooltip(tr("Disable chat mode, allow to walk using ASDW"))
end

function disableChat()
  local gameInterface = modules.game_interface

  consoleTextEdit:setVisible(false)
  consoleTextEdit:setText("")

  g_keyboard.bindKeyUp("Space", quickFunc)
  g_keyboard.bindKeyUp("Enter", quickFunc)
  g_keyboard.bindKeyUp("Escape", quickFunc)

  gameInterface.bindWalkKey("W", North)
  gameInterface.bindWalkKey("D", East)
  gameInterface.bindWalkKey("S", South)
  gameInterface.bindWalkKey("A", West)

  gameInterface.bindWalkKey("E", NorthEast)
  gameInterface.bindWalkKey("Q", NorthWest)
  gameInterface.bindWalkKey("C", SouthEast)
  gameInterface.bindWalkKey("Z", SouthWest)

  consoleToggleChat:setTooltip(tr("Enable chat mode"))
end

function sendCurrentMessage()
  local message = consoleTextEdit:getText()
  if #message == 0 then return end
  consoleTextEdit:clearText()

  -- send message
  sendMessage(message)
  consoleToggleChat:setChecked(true)
  disableChat()
end

I tried adding

g_keyboard.bindKeyPress("Enter", enableChat())

to disableChat() function but it automatically enables the chat because I press it to send the message.

Figured it out. Just add

console.lua

function newToggle()
    if consoleToggleChat:isChecked() then
        consoleToggleChat:setChecked(false)
        enableChat()
    else
        consoleToggleChat:setChecked(true)
        disableChat()
    end
end

and add

g_keyboard.bindKeyUp('Enter', newToggle, consolePanel)

under

g_keyboard.bindKeyDown('Enter', sendCurrentMessage, consolePanel)

Hello there, ltutorial,

OTClient is a cunt most of the times, you could always use the inbuilt terminal and debug your situation, I think I can help you out on this one.

I don't know why you have two functions for this, enabling chat and disabling chat, which is kind of redundant since it just can go on and off, so an if statement would be more than enough.

When you call your way to toggle WASD mode, you should check if consoleTextEdit:isEnabled() then you call consoleTextEdit:disable().
If you toggle the WASD mode out, then you call consoleTextEdit:enable() and then consoleTextEdit:focus() so you go directly to the chat, like it usually is in OTC.

If you need coding help let me know, I might provide you an example.

Best Wishes,
Okke

I ended up figuring it out. Thanks though.

Please tell me what you did Itutorial.

I added:

function newToggle()
    if consoleToggleChat:isChecked() then
        consoleToggleChat:setChecked(false)
        enableChat()
    else
        consoleToggleChat:setChecked(true)
        disableChat()
    end
end

to console.lua,

and added

g_keyboard.bindKeyUp('Enter', newToggle, consolePanel)

Right under:

g_keyboard.bindKeyDown('Enter', sendCurrentMessage, consolePanel)

But when I press the Enter key to enter chat mode, the cursor doesn't appear like it's supposed to, and doesn't let me chat.



Please help,

Thanks.
