This article describes how to setup a book that automatically takes notes and that the player can carry with him.

New page

== Introduction ==

If you are planning to create a mission, in which the player receives a lot of notes containing a lot of information, you always have to ask yourself if this will please everyone. Not everyone likes to take down notes while playing, so it would be good to have a note book that does this automatically. This is standard in most RPG's and adventure-styled games, and here it is described how you can set it up.

== The scriptobject ==

The first thing you need is the appropiate scriptobject. It can be found [http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/14394-apples-and-peaches-obsttortes-mapping-and-scripting-thread/page__view__findpost__p__307413, here]. Copy it in your script folder, remove the txt ending and include it by adding the line

#include "script/tdm_diary.script"

in the tdm_custom_scripts.script file. If no such file exists, you have to create it.

== The note book ==

In DarkRadiant, create a book entity. You should use a mobile one. Add the following spawnargs:

- "scriptobject" "flexible_readable": Let's the book use the appropiate scriptobject
- "gui_page1" "name_of_your_gui_here": The gui the book should use. Note that currently only one-sided guis are supported
- "num_pages" "1"
- "lineNums" "0"
- "max_lines" "X" : The maximum number of lines that fits on one page depending on the gui you've choosen (you can test this in the readable editor)

That's it for the note book.

== Adding notes ==

Now you have the notebook, but it's empty. If you want to add a note, follow these steps.

Create a gui_message entity. You can find this under targets. Add the following spawnargs on it:

- "scriptobject" "tdm_diary"
- "call" "addMessage"
- "diary" "name_of_your_note_book": fill in the name of the above created book entity
- "text" "your_text_here": the text that should be added to the note book
- "lines" "Y": the number of lines required for the text

The message will be added to the diary when the entity get's triggered.

== Properties ==

Every message will start on a new line. If you want to have line spaces between the single messages, set the lines spawnarg to a higher value then really required by the text. If the number of lines left on a page are not enough to contain the message, a new page will be automatically created to show the message.
