Buttons that are executing (chat)commands

[dwarfmaster1974]

Hello survivors,

 

we have on our server, as you know, the possibility to send commands via chat.

 

Examples:

- /home
- /market
- /shop
- /visit
- ...

I am almost sure you know this.😏

 

Now the question. 👉 Is it possible to trigger these commands by a button, which is attached to a button on the chat window?

Of course, it would be even better if you had a radial menu extension for the command /home. That would be really ingenious.

I have looked at the folder XUi and also the files in there, but so far I have not found a way to realize this.

Does anyone have an idea how I could best start there, or at all?

 

We already have a few changes, all of which have also been very successful, but you can never have it nice enough.😇

You don't even need to mod the game's code and UI. Every macro solution out there can do that for you.

Hi @Gazz,

 

thank you for your answer.

What exactly do you mean with:

Is there a way to implement macros or something like that?

 

I am a really NewBee on modding 7d2d, so any help or hint will be very very nice.

I think Gazz means a separate program for defining and using keyboard macros. It simply emulates a keyboard in software. Can't help you with an actual suggestion though, I'm not a windows user.
