OnDialogResponse

Description

This callback is called when a player responds to a dialog shown using ShowPlayerDialog. The response can be by clicking a button, pressing ENTER/ESC, or double-clicking a list item (in the case of a list-style dialog).

Name	Description
playerid	The ID of the player who responded to the dialog.
dialogid	The ID of the dialog the player responded to, as assigned in ShowPlayerDialog.
response	1 for the left button, and 0 for the right button (if only one button is shown, it will always be 1)
listitem	The ID of the list item selected by the player (starts at 0). For non-list dialogs, it will be -1.
inputtext[]	The text entered in the input box by the player, or the selected list item text.

Returns

This callback is always called first in filterscripts. Returning 1 blocks other filterscripts from processing it.

Notes

tip

The parameters can have different values depending on the dialog's style. (Click here for more examples).

tip

Using a switch-case statement instead of if blocks is an appropriate method for handling multiple dialogs.

warning

A player's dialog doesn't automatically close when the gamemode restarts.

If a player responds to a dialog after the server was restarted, the server will print the warning: "Warning: PlayerDialogResponse PlayerId: 0 dialog ID doesn't match last sent dialog ID".
