Complete handler for object:to() in Lua

  • #1, by trepnWednesday, 20. December 2017, 18:15 7 years ago
    I'm trying to fadeout my inventory interface and set its visibility to false when done. I am able to fade out but then the buttons stay active on the invisible interface so I need to hide it completely. Is there a onComplete handler or something to achieve this?


    function Main.hideInventory()
  if inventoryOpen == true then
    local inventory = getObject("Interfaces[inventory]")
    inventory:to(inventoryTransitionDuration, {InterfaceVisibility = 0})
    -- this needs to be done in oncomplete
    -- inventory.InterfaceVisible = false
    inventoryOpen = false
  end
end

    Probably best to add that line inside of an execute a script action part inside of a called by other action block.

    create a called by other action block somewhere, then add this to them...

    pause for value "example" duration
    execute a script >
    Interfaces["inventory"].InterfaceVisible = false
inventoryOpen = false


    "example" woud be a vs value that you stored the fade time inside of. Anyway, rename the called by other action block to something like "hide_inventory".

    Now edit your function script to call the called by other action you have created...
    function Main.hideInventory()
  if inventoryOpen == true then
    local inventory = Interfaces["inventory"]
    inventory:to(inventoryTransitionDuration, {InterfaceVisibility = 0})
    startAction(Actions["hide_inventory"]) -- call the called by other action that handles when to hide the inventory
  end
end

    There is no onComplete handler, but there is a setDelay:

    function Main.hideInventory()

  if inventoryOpen == true then

    local inventory = getObject("Interfaces[inventory]")

    inventory:to(inventoryTransitionDuration, {InterfaceVisibility = 0})

    -- this needs to be done in oncomplete

    setDelay(inventoryTransitionDuration, function()
       inventory.InterfaceVisible = false
    end)

    inventoryOpen = false

  end

end

    Tnx both of you. @AFRLme I prefer to keep everything in the code instead of adding another action part. So setDelay it is. I don't see anywhere in the documentation that it is possible to cancel a setDelay, are there any options for doing this?  You might want to cancel a delayed method to be excecuted when a user action like show menu or something pops up.

    I don't think you can cancel it, but you could wrap the code inside of the function in an if query. Maybe you could query if the current scene is not the menu or if a condition/value does not equal x. Should do the trick.

    setDelay(inventoryTransitionDuration, function()
 if not Conditions["example"].ConditionValue then
   inventory.InterfaceVisible = false
 end
end)
