How to: Menu with 10+ Options in one page

Post by Archive-Poster »

Did you ever wonder how to make a menu with more then 10 options in one page , and you can select any of them without force players to bind keys?

We will create menu with 9 options and add more with addtext, then we will catch which slot the player has pressed and wait 0.2( Cvar ) seconds to press one more .
If he press second slot in this time it will execute (if first choose was 2 and second 1 ) - 21
Else the first chosen option will be executed in 0.2 seconds

Here is the code with comments ( hope i did well with them )

Code: Select all

#include <amxmodx>

new g_fButton[ 33 ] // Here we will store the first slot pressed by the player
new g_sButton[ 33 ] // Here we will store the second slot pressed by the player
new g_Task[ 33 ] // Here we will store if there was a task when opening the menu

new Float:g_fTime[ 33 ] // Here we will store the time when player pressed slot1

new g_pWait, Float:WAIT

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin( "How to make more options in one page", "1.0", "eMinEm" )
    
    register_clcmd( "say /menu", "catch_buttons" ) // register command for opening the menu
    
    g_pWait = register_cvar( "menu_waittime", "0.2" ) 
    // How much to wait for chosing options from the menu
    // Note : If u make it below 0.2 a lot of mistakes can happen when players use the menu
    //       If u make it above 0.4 there will be too much delay when using slot 1-9
    
    WAIT = get_pcvar_float( g_pWait ) // store the time to wait in global variable so we can use it for our checks
}

public client_putinserver( id ) null_all( id ); // Make sure the player has the right numbers stored

public catch_buttons( id )
{
    if( g_Task[ id ] ) // if slot is pressed but there is no second in the given time execute the first chosen slot ( from 0 to 9 )
    {
        if( g_fButton[ id ] != 0 ) set_buttons( id, get_gametime( ) );
        else null_all( id ); // make sure to null all checks so players can open the menu again
        
        show_menu( id, 0, "^n" ) // Hide the menu after the item is executed or if item is exit
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    new menu = menu_create( "Menu", "catch_buttons_handler" ) // Create the menu
    
            /*    Maximum 383 symbols including menu title    */
    
        /*    First type of formatting the menu    */
// Doesnt really matter what you will put in the options , you just want to show players what will happen if they press "XX"
