Eden Editor: Entity Context Menu
Create a custom Entity Context Menu entry
- Entries for the Context Menu are defined in the class Display3DEN.
- The menu has multiple levels, the first level for example contains options like "Go Here" or folders like "Log". Those folders on the other hand can have another level, level 2.
class ctrlMenu;//First we need to load the base class of the menu
class Display3DEN
{
class ContextMenu: ctrlMenu
{
class Items
{
class Log//The easiest way to add an entry is to use one of the already available folders, here we use the class Log (Level 1)
{
picture = "someLogo.paa";//Icon used for the entry called Log
items[] +=//Here we list all items we want to add to the Log class.
{
"TAG_ShowSomeText"
};
};
class TAG_ShowSomeText//Now we need to define the entry itself which will be inside the Log folder (Level 2)
{
text = $STR_TAG_contextMenu_showSomeText;//Name of the entry, ideally localised
action = "systemChat 'Showing some text.'";//The code which is executed when the entry was selected
conditionShow = "hoverObject";//The Condition, see below
};
};
};
};
Conditions
- Context menu entries can have different conditions which need to be true in order for the entry to appear.
- The condition is defined by the conditionShow config entry.
class YourEntry
{
action = "call BIS_fnc_someFunction"; // Can be any kind of expression defined as string
text = "Delete Crew"; // Name shown in the context menu
conditionShow = "hoverObjectVehicle"; // Condition
};
The condition is a Simple Expression and can use one of the variables below:
