Questions & Answers

Hi! i got a multiplayer chat that works when you put the mouse on it. The problem is that its fps game and is a mess. When i write i send the text but i have to click again on te window, hide the mouse… I wonder to know if there is a way to set active/unactive chat window with enter key. I paste the chat code here, thanks

var skin : GUISkin;
var showChat = false;
private var inputField = “”;
private var display = true;
private var entries = ArrayList();
private var scrollPosition : Vector2;

private var window = Rect(20, 500,700, 200);

class ChatEntry
{
var sender = “”;
var text = “”;
var mine = true;
}

function CloseChatWindow ()
{
showChat = false;
inputField = “”;
entries = new ArrayList();
}

function FocusControl ()
{
// We can’t select it immediately because the control might not have been drawn yet.
// Thus it is not known to the system!
yield;
yield;
yield;
GUI.FocusControl(“Chat input field”);
}

function OnGUI ()
{
GUI.skin = skin;

//if (GUILayout.Button(showChat ? "Hide Chat" : "Display Chat"))
if (GUI.Button(new Rect(Screen.width-100, Screen.height-30, 90, 20), showChat ? "Hide Chat" : "Display Chat"))
{
	// Focus first element
	if (showChat)
	{	
		CloseChatWindow ();
	}
	else
	{
		showChat = true;
		FocusControl();
	}
}

if (showChat)
	window = GUI.Window (1, window, GlobalChatWindow, "Chat");

}

function GlobalChatWindow (id : int) {

var closeButtonStyle = GUI.skin.GetStyle("close_button");
if (GUI.Button(Rect (4, 4, closeButtonStyle.normal.background.width, closeButtonStyle.normal.background.height), "", "close_button"))
{
	CloseChatWindow();
}

// Begin a scroll view. All rects are calculated automatically - 
// it will use up any available screen space and make sure contents flow correctly.
// This is kept small with the last two parameters to force scrollbars to appear.
scrollPosition = GUILayout.BeginScrollView (scrollPosition);

for (var entry : ChatEntry in entries)
{
	GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
	if (!entry.mine)
	{
		GUILayout.FlexibleSpace ();
		GUILayout.Label (entry.text, "chat_rightaligned");
	}
	else
	{
		GUILayout.Label (entry.text, "chat_leftaligned");
		GUILayout.FlexibleSpace ();
	}
	
	GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
	GUILayout.Space(3);
	
}
// End the scrollview we began above.
GUILayout.EndScrollView ();

if (Event.current.type == EventType.keyDown && Event.current.character == "

" && inputField.Length > 0)
{
//@TODO: This should be dependent on who actually sent the message
//var mine = entries.Count % 2 == 0;
ApplyGlobalChatText(inputField, 1);
networkView.RPC(“ApplyGlobalChatText”, RPCMode.Others, inputField, 0);
inputField = “”;
}
GUI.SetNextControlName(“Chat input field”);
inputField = GUILayout.TextField(inputField);

GUI.DragWindow();

}

@RPC
function ApplyGlobalChatText (str : String, mine : int)
{
var entry = new ChatEntry();
entry.sender = “Not implemented”;
entry.text = str;
if (mine == 1) entry.mine = true;
else entry.mine = false;

entries.Add(entry);

if (entries.Count > 50)
	entries.RemoveAt(0);
	
scrollPosition.y = 1000000;

}

function Update (){
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return)){

showChat = true;

}

}

I am not sure is the best solution: I am using something like this in C# (using F1 key for chat and trying to fix the focus & game pause by ESC things):

	string chatLine = "";
	private bool isVisible = false;
	private bool focusStart = false;
	
	void Update() {
		
		if (Input.GetKeyDown("f1")) {
			isVisible = !isVisible;	
			focusStart = false;
		}		

	}
	
	void OnGUI () {

		if(!isVisible) return;
		
		if (Event.current.Equals (Event.KeyboardEvent ("escape")) 
			|| Event.current.Equals (Event.KeyboardEvent ("f1"))
			) 
		{
			isVisible = false;
		}			
		
		
		if(!focusStart) {

			GUI.FocusControl("ChatInput");	
			chatLine = "";
			focusStart = true;
			
		}	
		
		GUI.SetNextControlName ("ChatInput");
        chatLine = GUILayout.TextField(chatLine);
		
        if ( ( (Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.Return 
                && Event.current.type == EventType.KeyUp ) 
               || GUILayout.Button("Send") ) 
               && chatLine !="") 
         {

            // Send Chat RPC

             chatLine = "";

        }
    }
