Returns:

  • result (string)

components⚓︎

An array of all the components in this Category.

Returns:

componentType⚓︎

The type of this component.

Returns:

  • result ("Page")

config⚓︎

If provided, this config will be used to generate mwseMCMTableVariables for any mwseMCMSettings made inside this Category/Page. Subtables of this config can be accessed by passing a configKey to any Category that is nested inside this one.

Returns:

  • result (table, nil)

configKey⚓︎

This can be used to access subtables of the config and defaultConfig stored in this component's parentComponent. This ensures that the config and defaultConfig stay synchronized.

Returns:

  • result (string, number, nil)

createContentsContainer⚓︎

This method creates the contents of a component. Not every component implements this method.

Returns:

defaultConfig⚓︎

Stores a default config that should be used by this mod's Settings. This will initialize the defaultSetting field of any mwseMCMTableVariables created for this mod. Sub-configs can be accessed by passing a configKey to any Category that is nested inside this one.

Returns:

Returns:

indent⚓︎

The left padding size in pixels. Only used if the childIndent isn't set on the parent component.

Returns:

  • result (integer)

inGameOnly⚓︎

If true, then this component, as well as any nested components, will only be shown when in game. i.e., after a save has been loaded.

Example: DistanceSlider

The following example shows how the convertToLabelValue parameter can be used to create a slider for a config setting that handles distances. The config setting will be stored using game units, but the displayed value will be in real-world units. Recall that 1 game unit corresponds to 22.1 feet, and 1 foot is 0.3048 meters.

--- @type tes3uiElement, table
local myPage, myConfig
mwse.mcm.createSlider{
    parent = myPage,
    label = "My distance slider",
    variable = mwse.mcm.createTableVariable{ id = "distance", table = myConfig },
    convertToLabelValue = function(self, variableValue)
        local feet = variableValue / 22.1
        local meters = 0.3048 * feet
        if self.decimalPlaces == 0 then
            return string.format("%i ft (%.2f m)", feet, meters)
        end
        return string.format(
            -- if `decimalPlaces == 1, then this string will simplify to
            -- "%.1f ft (%.3f m)"
            string.format("%%.%uf ft (%%.%uf m)", self.decimalPlaces, self.decimalPlaces + 2),
            feet, meters
        )
    end,

    max = 22.1 * 10,    -- max is 10 feet
    step = 22.1,        -- increment by 1 foot
    jump = 22.1 * 5,
}
Example: SkillSlider

Here is an (admittedly less practical) example to help highlight the different ways convertToLabelValue can be used. In this example, it will be used to create a slider that stores a tes3.skill constant in the config, and then displays the name of the corresponding skill.

--- @type tes3uiElement, table
local myPage, myConfig
mwse.mcm.createSlider{
    parent = myPage,
    label = "My skill slider",
    variable = mwse.mcm.createTableVariable{ id = "skillId", table = myConfig },
    convertToLabelValue = function(self, variableValue)
        local skillName = tes3.getSkillName(math.round(variableValue))
        if skillName then
            return skillName
        end
        return "N/A"
    end,

}
Example: DecimalSlider

The following example shows how to create a slider that keeps the variable value a floating point number with precision of 2 decimal places.

--- @type tes3uiElement, table
local myPage, myConfig
mwse.mcm.createSlider{
    parent = myPage,
    label = "My slider",
    variable = mwse.mcm.createTableVariable{ id = "someval", table = myConfig },
    min = 0.00,
    max = 1.00,
    step = 0.01,
    jump = 0.05,
    decimalPlaces = 2
}

getMouseOverText⚓︎

Retrieves the text that this component should display in any related mouseOverInfos. This method currently utilized to display this component's description whenever the component is in a SideBarPage.

Primarily intended for internal use.

local text = myObject:getMouseOverText()

Returns:

  • text (string, nil): The text to display. Returning nil means that the mouseOverInfo should display text from a different source. e.g. from the description of the relevant SideBarPage.

new⚓︎

Creates a new MouseOverPage.

local page = myObject:new({ showHeader = ..., label = ..., noScroll = ..., config = ..., defaultConfig = ..., configKey = ..., components = ..., indent = ..., childIndent = ..., paddingBottom = ..., childSpacing = ..., inGameOnly = ..., postCreate = ..., class = ..., componentType = ..., parentComponent = ... })
