openMenu not working

[Ni3ls]

Maybe the menu has an error? Can you post your menu here?

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.

I tested it but its still the same problem.
It plays the sound but it doesnt open the menu..

wm_quickmessage.menu:

admin.menu:

As i said.. There cant be any errors in the menu's because if i just open them its working.
Its just not working with openMenu()

and show ur _menus with the parts we need

[DjTranceFire]

onMenuResponse()
{
	for(;;)
	{
		self waittill("menuresponse", menu, response);

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

Another thing you want to try is to play around with wait statements, add one between closing and opening the menu again and make sure the menu is really closed.
In the past I had the same problem and as I remmember I added a wait somewhere, sorry but I've lost my laptop yesterday and can't look up the actual code -.-

You could try to change the order in your execKey parameter:
instead of closing your menu first and then sending a response, send the menuresponse first.

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

if a menuresponse occurs with a menu of "-1", as far as i can say from my expirience, in most cases an indicator of a not precached menu.
I also added a debug-sound in the response to see if it is properly triggered. You should also do something like this:

self waittill( "menuresponse" , menu , response );
iPrintLn( "Menu: " + menu + " Response: " + response );

as additional debug.

...

So what you're saying is that _menus:nMenuResponse() was able to get a response from a menu that was not precached?!
Wouldn't that be highly unlikely, if not impossible?

Ok, to stop this thread becoming too long, I jumped in and did some testing:

1. Using the admin menu you provided, and changing wm_quickmessage.menu's third button to an "admin" button, and using your menu waiter script in maps\mp\gametypes\_menus.gsc:

		onMenuResponse()
{
    
    for( ;; )
    {
        self waittill( "menuresponse", menu, response );
        
        if( response == "admin" )
        {
            if( self getGuid() == 0 )
            {
                self closeMenu();
                self closeInGameMenu();
                self openMenu( "admin" );
            }
            else
                self iprintlnbold( "invalid menu" );
            
            continue;
        }
    
    ----------- snip -------------- 
	

This is what the result I got:

2. As you can see, no problem opening the admin menu at all.

3. Conclusion:

You must be doing something wrong somewhere, or something else is preventing the menu opening.

Ok, the problem is solved..
The reason for the problem is simple..

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

Its not about quickmessage or quickcommands...
But i'm using menu files to check the FPS of a player.
To get it working i open it again and again..^^
If i remove this FPS check its working fine! :P
But now i have to get a new way to check the FPS for my custom hud... :'(
Thank you all <3

As I thought - something else was preventing the menu opening.
