Menu Function - origin problem

[RobsoN]

Hello, I used this tutorials for menu functions.

I've got error like that:


It's something bad with first argument.
Line in error message (185) is this line:

		BUTTON_TITLE(ORIGIN_TITLE_1, "robson_title_locked", "ui_robson_list_1", "-2"); 
	

And the function:

		
#define ORIGIN_TITLE_1 220 130
#define ORIGIN_TITLE_2 220 190
#define ORIGIN_TITLE_3 220 250
#define ORIGIN_TITLE_4 220 310

#define ORIGIN_TITLE_5 420 130
#define ORIGIN_TITLE_6 420 190
#define ORIGIN_TITLE_7 420 250
#define ORIGIN_TITLE_8 420 310

#define BUTTON_TITLE(_origin, _image, _dvartest, _id) \
itemDef \
{ \
    name            "titles" \
    origin            _origin \
    visible            1 \
    rect            0 0 128 32 \
    forecolor        GLOBAL_UNFOCUSED_COLOR \
    type            ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON \
    style            WINDOW_STYLE_SHADER \
    background        _image \
    dvartest        _dvartest \
    showDvar        { "title_" ## _id } \
    mouseEnter \
    { \
        play "mouse_over"; \
    } \
    action \
    { \
        play "mouse_click"; \
        scriptmenuresponse "select_" ## _id; \
    } \
} 
	

I tried aslo

		BUTTON_TITLE(220 130, "robson_title_locked", "ui_robson_list_1", "-2"); 
	

but still got error.

Thanks for help.

Please try to add this for "rect":

HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_FULLSCREEN VERTICAL_ALIGN_FULLSCREEN


Like:

		    rect            0 0 128 32   HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_FULLSCREEN VERTICAL_ALIGN_FULLSCREEN \ 
	

You can also use a macro in a macro. First declare it over your current macro:

		        #define RECT(_rect_) \
            rect _rect_ HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_FULLSCREEN VERTICAL_ALIGN_FULLSCREEN 
	

So you can rewrite the failing line like:

		    RECT(0 0 128 32) \

So much respect for you mate!

I aslo found my mistake in ';' and rect should be above origin.

Macros rocks!

I posted about this - when using macros, all rectangles must have 6 parameters and not the usual 4. Otherwise, the game wont parse them properly, and it starts to read other parameters as part of the rectangle. Hence, why the error was telling you that it was expecting an integer but found "forecolor" instead - it was reading the next line down as part of the rectangle.
