Overview

It is possible to control the UI System via Lua scripts. See also: List of Lua functions.

Example

    // Display UI Element
    UIAction.ShowElement("MyUIElement", 0);

    // Call actionscript
    UIAction.CallFunction("MyUIElement", 0, "Foo", "paramStr1", "paramStr2", 123, 12.3, false);

    // set variable
    UIAction.SetVariable("MyUIElement", 0, "MyVariable", 23);

     // get variable
   local var1 = UIAction.GetVariable("MyUIElement", 0, "MyVariable");
    if (var1) then
       Log("Var1: %d", var1);
    end

  // set array
    local newValues = {
    "val1",
    "val2",
    "val3",
  };
    UIAction.SetArray("MyUIElement", 0, "MyArray", newValues);

  // get array
  local values = UIAction.GetArray("MyUIElement", 0, "MyArray");
  local value;
  if (values) then
        for i,value in ipairs(values) do
          Log("Value: %s", value);
     end
  end
