openMenu not working

[DjTranceFire]

Hey guys..
I'm trying to add a small admin menu to my mod.
I want that its only possible to open the menu for specific guids.
So i created a menu file and changed wm_quickmessage
In _menus.gsc onMenuResponse() i added:

if(response == "admin")
		{
			if(self getGuid() == 0)
			{
				self playLocalSound("granted");
				self openMenu(game["menu_admin"]);
			}
			else
			{
				self iprintlnbold("^1Access Denied!");
				self playLocalSound("denied");
			}
			continue;
		}

If i open the menu it plays the sound but it wont open the menu..
I precached the menu and if i open it directly without scriptMenuResponse "admin" everything is working
Whats wrong?

Sorry for my bad english! :x

Try to make sure all other menus are closed, closeMenu(); function would help if you put it before openMenu.

your precache llooks like this?

		game["menu_admin"] = "admin";
precacheMenu(game["menu_admin"]); 
	

if yes , error must be on admin.menu
developer 1 and look for errors in the console in admin.menu

need help ?

you cant open a menu when quickmessage is open. Make sure you have close quickmessage/quickcommands in the execkey in your menu.

Done!

{
    self closeMenu();
    self closeInGameMenu();
    self openMenu(game["menu_admin"]);
    self playLocalSound("granted");
}

Still not working...

your precache llooks like this?

		game["menu_admin"] = "admin";
precacheMenu(game["menu_admin"]);

The menu is working if i open it from another menu.
It only wont work with _menus.gsc
There are no errors and yes its precached like this! :P

Done.. Still not working..

execKey "8" { close quickmessage; scriptMenuResponse "admin" }

execKey "8" { close quickmessage; scriptMenuResponse "admin" }

Are you sure the menu you're calling this from is the quickmessage menu?

Also, are you sure the menu is precached? have you checked the client's console for any errors concerning .menu files?

Why not just use the quickmessage menu to open the admin menu?

execKey "8" { close quickmessage; open admin }

Then, monitor if the admin menu is open:

if( menu == "admin")
{
	if(self getGuid() == 0)
	{
		self playLocalSound("granted");
		self openMenu(game["menu_admin"]);
	}
	else
	{
		self iprintlnbold("^1Access Denied!");
		self playLocalSound("denied");
	}
			
	continue;
}

Seems a lot easier than all this messing around trying to get openMenu() to work.

NB - make sure your admin.menu has the menu item name of "admin". The item script name is what the engine looks for. Not the name of the menu file.

Yes, its preached and its called from wm_quickmessage.menu
Its working if i use:
execKey "8" { close quickmessage; open admin }
But its not working if i use
execKey "8" { close quickmessage; scriptMenuResponse "admin" }
There are no errors in the console and yes i'm using developer 1

Why not just use the quickmessage menu to open the admin menu?

execKey "8" { close quickmessage; open admin }

Then, monitor if the admin menu is open:

if( menu == "admin")
{
	if(self getGuid() == 0)
	{
		self playLocalSound("granted");
		self openMenu(game["menu_admin"]);
	}
	else
	{
		self iprintlnbold("^1Access Denied!");
		self playLocalSound("denied");
	}
			
	continue;
}

Of course i could use it like this but i want that it cant be opened if you dont have the right guid.

Well then, you must be doing something wrong. Post your wm_quickmessage menu, and your admin menu.

If using a scriptMenuResponse in quickmessage, like this:

		execKey "8" { close quickmessage; scriptMenuResponse "admin" } 
	

Check for menu "-1" in _menus.gsc.

		        if(menu == "-1")
        {
            if(response == "admin")
            {
                if(self getGuid() == 0)
                {
                    self playLocalSound("granted");
                    self openMenu(game["menu_admin"]);
                }
                else
                {
                    self iprintlnbold("^1Access Denied!");
                    self playLocalSound("denied");
                }
                continue;
            }
        } 
	

I have to add that this is the way it's done in the eXtreme mod, which handles quickmessages slightly different, so your mileage may vary.
