Add mission dialogue rmlui widget #4233
Conversation

I changed the folder structure a little bit. Old one was just what Chris used in his example widgets. I propose that all .rml files will be in /luaui/Widgets/rml and all .rcss files will be in /luaui/Widgets/rcss. Furthermore I propose that we will have two main rcss files: bar_ui.rcss that contains the common styles that we use in new UI and default_styles.rcss that contains fallback default styles for the basic elements when nothing else is defined for them. |

I think it would make more sense for each widget to be a folder, containing the .lua and .rml files, along with any widget-specific .rcss or resource files (images, sounds, etc.). Since the .lua and .rml files are tightly coupled, they are always worked on at the same time, so it makes sense for them to be located together. There would be shared folders for common elements, like global .rcss files, images, and sounds. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
After the first time the document is hidden won't it be spamming calls to document:Hide() again? Even then, would be good to not even have the update callin when the dialogue is unused.
I'd suggest registering the :Update callin once the dialog is shown, and deregistering when it's hidden. Deregistering on initialization.

This adds a way to call dialogue popups for missions. It's intended to be used with mission api and still needs to be integrated into that once mission api is ready for it.
Works with
WG['mission_dialogue'].SendDialogue(character_name, message, character_portrait, side, soundfile, popupTimeout)e.g.
WG['mission_dialogue'].SendDialogue("Some Dude","Hello World!", "somedude.png", "right", "dialogue1.wav",5)
