Custom Buttons 2.0.71

Is it possible to add values such as RP to a button or some text? And also things like x-z co-ordinates for a players location?

If it isn't, would you consider doing something like that?

Hey, adding text replacement function to RP/Eco is not a problem. It's just custom buttons are not made to be constantly refreshed.

What about using the command to check balance?
Players could just push the button and not need to know or remember the command.

If nothing else just wanted to offer a short term fix.
I'll let the developer answer the rest of that question though. ^-^

Yeah, good idea, I really like that.

Yeah I would be happy with simple text replacement, maybe only refreshed when a player presses the button as Jbird suggested? The same for x-z co-ords, they don't always need to be active and refreshed and could be set to be retrieved on a button press. I REALLY like that idea the more I think about it.

To be fair they can check their RP balance by doing /s bound to a button which then leaves just the x-z co-ords issue, but I like the idea of a button press retrieving both those things for them.

To give some background to this, I already use InfoPanel which shows both the RP and the x-z- co-ords on screen, but I'm trying to refresh the look and feel of what the players see when they join one of my servers as it all looks a little jaded to my eye because I've been living with it for 6 years now.

To that end, I have:-

CustomButtons to allow easy access to kits, minicopter etc.
ServerHud to replace InfoPanel (InfoPanel is a nightmare to deal with)
WelcomeInfoUI and WelcomeInfoAddons to replace ServerInfo (also nightmarish)

I have already requested AhigaO to add x-z co-ords and RP display in ServerHud, but I really like the idea of clicking a button to show that info, even more now that I've discussed it here. It just makes more sense to only refresh it when needed and not all the time.

I have a lot of work ahead of me...

Finally I'd like to say thank you for creating CustomButtons. It doesn't matter how much info you give players and how up to date you keep your web site and discord announcing changes, I'm sure most of them never read it, at least the newer players anyway. Having self-explanatory buttons available makes it all so much easier for the players. Great job.

I have my moments!

The best thing about this is that it would be almost 0 cost to performance.
Then the players would be able to check it whenever they like.

I agree too I used info panels for quite some time.
I was never gonna complain much because hey, it was free.
But damn it was frustrating sometimes customizing it.
Granted I did eventually add my own images, moved things around some.
It still looked plain compared to some of the other plugins that have been emerging.

As you said, being able to add buttons is something most players really appreciate.
Aside from the ones on my server that click the personal patrol heli button and get that surprise.
Happens frequently with new players and is always good for a laugh.
I have buttons for all the basics, and I get very few questions on "how do I" since there is a button now.

Hello, i just made this simple GUI on my server today.
I have one "Commands" button always visible at the left bottom corner of the screen which have "/custombuttonstoggle" bind to it, same as the red cross button at the top right corner of this window.

My question is: Is there any way to make multiple windows like this that can be opened separately?
I mean like, always visible button that opens just "Tools" window, or just Vehicle License window etc.
Because /custombuttonstoggle opens always everything. 

The almost very first post here had opened just "Teleport Menu" and other options like Vehicles closed, but i didn't found any way to make that happen.



Thank you

Also another little question.
What command the button needs to have to send you to the discord?
I tried to google it and i found just this command "server.url"
But i tried multiple ways how to write it and no one worked for me.

Thank you

Edit: I just found out its probably impossible to redirect to discord from the game

Hi great plugin but what would also be important is a possibility to close all windows after pressing the button

If I press a button that opens another GUI, the windows overlap

Sadly thats not possible, unless you make people bind command to specific key.

Sorry about no reply, I must have missed notification from your comment.

I love to see what you made here! Currently there is only option to open all of them at once, in future I might expand on it, will see.
 

Hi @David, hope you're doing well! 

Was wondering if maybe you had some time to implement Image Library with Custom Buttons? I've had alot of players ask about this, as I have pretty detailed Buttons that loose quality when scaled down.

Thank you!!

Anybody know how to make the buttons not blur out when players open their inventory?

Hey, change base anchors in config to "0.5 0" and then reposition buttons.

Please!

This would make a world of difference, as players are constantly complaining about the blurry images when using lower that 5 graphics setting (compared to Info Panel that is using Image Library and icons are nice and crisp).

is there any way to solve it at the moment ?

Hi there! This plugin has been super helpful.  I have a panel of buttons to the bottom right of the screen, however it gets in the way of the team creation, spawning and what not - I tried setting it from an overlay to hud, but it still displays above the inventory.  Do you have any ideas on how to make the buttons appear behind other CUI elements when they are open?

Reloaded plugin and the HUD changes previously worked, disregard.

Hi. How do I create a button with no text, just an icon? Everytime I try to make one there's a "0" in the middle of the icon.  thanks.
