XP Bar switching

depechenode · #1 03-21-2005, 05:21 PM

Ok, I am trying to modify my Advanced Player window that has both Adv and TS XP bars included on it.

What I am wanting to do is, only show ONE bar at a time.

I have the adv bar part working just fine, but when I right clickon the bar to switch to TS bar, I do not get the option for TS. No matter what I do.

I even took the experience bar, copied everything in it and added it as a page on my player window thinking I lost a setting. This experience bar works when NOT included on the player window. It works solo. When added on the player window, I start to lose the functionality of the switchable bars.

Any HELP please!!!!!

I even tried to switch the bars via buttons, but still I can not get the TS bar to showm and the Adv bar to hide.

the right click switch is a hardcoded soe thing.
a button switch is easy.

something like
onpress="Parent.AdventureXP.Visible=true Parent.TradeskillXP.Visible=false" maybe more or less parents, depending on where you put it.. and you want the buttons to switch too.. so that be another visible=true/false in the same onpress

I tried the onpress with and without buttons BOTH did not work.

Attach your XML. I can dump a simple button in for you that you can tweak and stuff to your liking. I'll try and keep it straight-forward so you can see what I did and learn from it.

Thanks Quib,

I am pretty good with buttons usually, just this one has me baffled. Matter of fact I was able to get buttons to work in both my inventory mod and my target mod. And you helped me with the Inventory one I believe.

I want the single bar to work just like it does on the default Experience window. Preferably without the use of a button. Right clicking to switch like the SOE version experience window. BUT, since the right click switch thingy is Hardcoded, I really want a "hidden" button to allow the switching. I wanted the button to be "over" the xp bar so it could act like SOE right click select, but instead my button would be a single left click and switch back and forth. I used Humudce's XP window for the xp stuff I like and placed into the player window so you know where I got my stuff.

btw, my xml has the corrected code for the experience window as mentioned by Humudce to reflect the 21 Mar 05 changes. ALSO, Quib, the buttons I tried are not in this xml. You will get my xml as I want it to look prior to addiditon of the "buttons". I left my attempts out to lessen the code and confusion.

If any other DL this xml, bewarned...it is a WIP and I will release the switchable XP version as soon as I can get it to work with Quib's help.
Also, since it a WIP, not all images, etc. are included that I used. So if any try to use this WIP it will probably be "broken".

Thanks

Ok, no promises that you can even find the invisible button I added (I'm not really sure where it wound up, you'll probably want to move and size it yourself), but it should do what you're asking for. Left-click once to switch between Adventure and Tradeskill Experience bars. There's unfortunately no way to do it with right click.

I haven't had the time to test this but am confident that it's modified properly. If you can't figure out what I did, or it doesn't work, yell at me and I'll do proper testing and get it functioning.
