on close menu? : V

» Mon Jun 18, 2012 1:05 pm

Okay, so basically, I need a block of code to run after the player has closed a menu (specifically, the alchemy menu). I tried using RegisterForSingleUpdate with OnUpdate, because the wiki said that it basically pauses the timer when the game is in MenuMode. Apparently, the alchemy menu doesn't qualify as "MenuMode", likely because the game world runs in the background.

Is there an alternative? Some script function that can tell me when there's a UI active or something?

Mousewheel scrolling problem with alchemy item? I hit the same brick wall.

Basically I have a script that removes items from the player's inventory after the alchemy menu has been closed. I tried using RegisterForSingleUpdate() with OnUpdate(), but much to my surprise, it ran while the player was still in the middle of alchemying, which is obviously not what I want.

Are these problems because the game menus are in ScaleForm?

This might be me talking nonsense, but before the CK modding the menus (like the improved menu mod) were done with the SKSE ... and the SKSE knows nothing about the CK and all thescripting stuff.

So, is menu-modding even possible with the CK? (I can find no wiki references to the menu systems at all)

I think it has more to do with the fact that the game keeps running in the background while the menu is open, than the fact that the menus themselves are in ScaleForm. Game keeps running = game is still in "GameMode".

Since alchemy tables are furniture, can you use http://www.creationkit.com/IsFurnitureInUse_-_ObjectReference ?

That's sort of what I meant, because they are a different system, the game is not effected when they are open (keeps running) ... although, saying that, pressing escape forces the save menu ... AND the game stops while it is up ...

... sry, I dunno
