You can certainly have multiple miniwindows in a plugin, as Worstje says, make sure you give them names that are likely to be unique. For example in one of my plugins:


win = GetPluginID ()  -- get a unique name
tempwin = win .. ":temp"


This gives me two names for miniwindows - the first is the plugin ID which should be unique, and the second one appends ":temp" to give a variation on that name, which also should be unique amongst other plugins.

So if you wanted four windows you could do something like this:


win1 = GetPluginID ()  .. ":1"
win2 = GetPluginID ()  .. ":2"
win3 = GetPluginID ()  .. ":3"
win4 = GetPluginID ()  .. ":4"

I'm not sure if the script above already implement this idea I have. At work, and reading too much gives me headache atm. :)

But what you can do is, add 2 more buttons, which moves up/down several line, or even a page. Just like the arrow and double arrow button you find in tape/cd/etc player.

Cheers.

I wouldn't use multiple miniwindows just to add buttons - that is what hotspots are for. Draw a button on your main window, and make that button rectangle a hotspot. Then when you click on it you can change its colour, play a "click" sound, and do something useful.

Sorry, I should've said hotspot, rather than button. And maybe add 2 more hotspot on top of the 4. Starting with a 'top' hotspot at the right-top hand corner, that scrolls to the top. Then a hotspot below it, for scrolling up 1 page. Then another one below it for scrolling per line. And so on.

That way, you don't have to break the mouse just to move to the top of the page. ;)

Cheers.

I have been trying to combine the different advice in this thread into one plugin.

I have a capture miniwindow that scrolls but I am having trouble adding in the ability for the text to wrap. I have tried several times but I keep failing as I am still very new to this.

Below is my working plugin. Any help to get text to wrap would be appreciated.

See this thread:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=9454

In particular, near the bottom was a small bit of code that wrapped output by breaking up "line" at the wrap_column, at the nearest space. It then called add_line to actually output the line. A variation on that should do it for you.



-- wrap long lines, at a space if possible
  while #line > wrap_column do
  
    -- find a space not followed by a space, closest to the end of the line
    local col = string.find (line:sub (1, wrap_column), "%s%S*$")
    
    if col and col > 2 then
      col = col - 1  -- use the space to indent
    else
      col = wrap_column  -- just cut off at wrap_column
    end -- if

    add_line (line:sub (1, col))
    line = line:sub (col + 1) 
    
  end -- while line > max

Thanks Nick.

I made some adjustments based on that thread and it works to a degree. It will wrap 1 line ok but if it has to wrap on the second line it starts to double up (example below).

Can anyone help to explain what I have done wrong please?

Example of double output:

(Pishe) Garrion: You are in a clean, airy room, with large
 windows overlooking the street outside. A high counter almost
 windows overlooking the street outside. A high counter
 almost completely separates the far half of the room.


Revised plugin in next post.

You've changed what I had to:


      add_line (line:sub (1, col))
      line = line:sub (col + 1) 
      
        -- add remainder of line
      add_line (line)


Won't that second add_line add the remainder of the line, giving the results you are seeing?

Ahh yes.

I added that after looking at the linked thread. Without it the last line that is only a partial line does not get shown.

I just tested it and that is the part causing the double line. I will have to figure out how to show the last partial line now.

Thanks Nick.

I copy/pasted Garrion's code and tried to make it work on Materia Magica, but I'm having problems making the word wrapping work. Instead of wrapping a line, it's cutting the line off. The changes I've made to Garrion's original code are:
1. Pattern match on trigger.
2. WINDOW_HEIGHT and WINDOW_WIDTH
3. WINDOW_POSITION
I'm pretty sure none of those changes would cause a problem; however, I'll post the code below as I have it now as well. Thanks in advance for the help!

I may have fixed Garrion's issue by putting #line into a variable and doing a check in order to use addline(line) at the end.

Something like this:

function chats ..
myline = #line

while ..
..
end

if myline > wrap_column then
    add_line (line)
   end
refresh()

end
