Adding elements to a GUI?

I am pretty unfamiliar with writing code but I am a fairly competent individual in the IT community. I have been looking through some of the plugins that include GUI's and figured it wouldn't be to challenging to modify/add to some of them to personalize the plugin to my specific needs. That being said, what tool should I be using to modify these scripts. I usually open json's with notepad to make minor tweaks and ultimately run them through JSON Validator; likewise for the plugin cs and lua files I usually look through details in notepad but never make changes. Is Unity the answer?

Thanks!!!

 

If your asking about a good program to edit code with, I personally use "Visual Studio Code"

 

In your opinion if I say had the ServerInfo plugin installed and wanted to add (2) custom buttons on the GUI to execute simple commands such as "usergroup add x y",
"usergroup remove x z"

but only if user is not in oxide.group y or z

Shouldn't that be pretty straightforward?

 

Are you trying to make a team selection for when a player joins?

 

Yes

I have been using a manual process that involes NPCs, zones, warps, and Zone command. Although it works it is a bit clunky and doesn't recoginze that a player has already joined a side.

A simple button system would prevent switching of sides without admin help and also allow random spawns on the beach to remain intact.

 

For selecting teams you can use a Dictionary for storing teams(Per player)

Code:

class StoredData
{
    Dictionary<ulong, UserInfo> Users = new        Dictionary<ulong, UserInfo>();
    public StoredData()
    {
    }
}class UserInfo
{
    string Name;
    float userID;
    bool IsTeam1;
    bool IsTeam2;
    public UserInfo()
    {
    }
}

Based on oxide.group we are already restricting friendly Fire and friendly building destruction so I don't really need to create a new structure. I am fairly certain the other scripts are querying the oxide.group already to see if user is a member of or not and applying conditions accordingly. Therefore, I just need 2 buttons that add a user to said oxide.group and as a fail safe remove the user from the other group (to prevent someone from being in both).

An interactive button that executes the commands I posted would work like a charm. maybe a prerequisite check of if user is in one of the two oxide.groups make the button hidden or disabled?

I just don't understand the code structure for creating Gui elements?

I don't know maybe I am way off but I do these types of things in infopath, Sql, and SharePoint workflows but the difference is the GUI elements are integrated?

 

You would be better off moving away from the permission based system you are currently using. I have written pretty much exactly what you are going to want to do for TeamBattlefield, add me on steam and I'll walk you through it

 

Will do, I'm on mobile and will be home later. Thanks!
