check the first letter of scriptmenu response

[Ni3ls]

Hi all,

Im making some menu with a lot of scriptmenu responses for primary weapon and secondary weapon in the same .menu file
for all the primary weapons i put a "x" in front of the name. xgreasegun_mp, xkar98k_mp for example. In front of the the secondary weapons I wrote a "z", like zluger_mp and zcolt_mp.
I want to make a smart weapon function. If name of the response start with a "x" , remove the "x" and use it as self.primary. If it has a "z" in front, remove the "z" and use it as self.secondary.

How to do this? I dont have any clue at all

		if(getSubStr(response, 0, 1) == "x")
{
    newresponse = getSubStr(response, 1, response.size);
    return newresponse;
}

		if(response[0] == "x")
{
     return getsubstr(response, 1);
} 
	

For a single char you dont need to use substr
Substr will work without a third input, itll just go on until the end (might be lighter on cpu, not sure)

Trying it with playermodels now
SNIPPET

if(menu == "huntmodel")
		{
			if(response == "menuopen")
			{
				self setclientcvar("dvar_yourhelmet", self.helmet);
				self setclientcvar("dvar_yourbody", self.body);
				self setclientcvar("dvar_yourhead", self.head);
			}
			
			if(response == "playerbody_american_normandy01")
			{
   				self.body= response;
				self setclientcvar("dvar_yourbody", self.body);
					self closeMenu();
					self closeInGameMenu();
				self iprintlnbold("body:"+response);
			}

It does show the right dvars when I open it. However, when I click on the first model with response "playerbody_american_normandy01" nothing happens.
huntmodel.menu

		itemDef 
		{
			name			"body"
			visible			1
			rect			0 0 70 22
			origin			ORIGIN_CHOICE5
			forecolor		GLOBAL_UNFOCUSED_COLOR
			type			ITEM_TYPE_BUTTON
			text			"^7Normandy ^31"
			textfont		UI_FONT_NORMAL
			textscale		.30
			textstyle		ITEM_TEXTSTYLE_SHADOWED
			textaligny		20
			dvartest        	"language"
			showDvar       		{ "1" }
			action
			{
				play "mouse_click";
				scriptMenuResponse "playerbody_american_normandy01";
			}
			onFocus
			{
				play "mouse_over";
			}
		}

Sorry for double post but else post will be too long

		else if(menu == "huntmodel")
		{

			self closeMenu();
			self closeInGameMenu();
			self iprintlnbold("Response: "+response);
                }

Even this is not working, but the menu is loaded with

					self closeMenu();
					self closeInGameMenu();
					self openMenu("huntmodel");

and does open.
Tested with developer 1, but how to see if there is an error inside the menu?

Open extended console, check for errors (clientside)(as menus are mostly clientside)

[Ni3ls]

No errors at all

EDIT: Found the solution. It had another menudef name, so the menu what was called had another name. Thats why menuopen was working (menudef name is huntmodel) and the other not working (menudef name bodies)
