Ok, Before I start, a couple things:
1) I have no idea what I'm trying to say as it's very hard to explain 2) I don't know what purpose will this do CE good, but it's just a theory/idea Since the UI is a map with a bsp and everything, is it possible to integrate the UI buttons into some regular map to enable some other stuff (I don't know what yet, but it's just a theory)? --For some reason, I feel like an idiot suggesting this....

I'll just stick to music as mapping is not for me. |

You can. There was this map I got before my pc got stolen that did just that. I believed it was limited to the exes comm=ands though unless you put these things in the ma then moulded the commands to be runnable through the pause menu.

Switches in the map would work I think.

No like what I mean is to make UI buttons on a map (On the side screen) that enables stuff, Firefight Portent uses the pause menu. Perhaps, having UI-like buttons on the side of the screen could enable some kind of sandbox map or something....
So like there's your screen: (It's horrible but you should get it) --------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | |-------------------------------------------| /\ and that's like a "sidebar" with UI-like buttons and you could spawn something ingame or have cheats or something.... |

I think I understand what you're trying to ask... and yes that would be possible but if you don't already know about ui widgets than it's a bit too difficult to explain at the moment.

In other words, it's like firefight:decent's loadouts menu. Dwood, care to elaborate on this?

Dwood, care to elaborate on this? -Zekilk Should you already know how to use widgets, you'd basically just need to take the a10 help screen, change it to what you'd like it to be (being sure to uncheck the pause time flag), rename your scenario to a10, then in the script add a (display_scenario_help [short]) where [short] is the index of the strings in the ingame help text file string list you made for the widget. |
