mwseMCMSideBySideBlock⚓︎

A Side-by-side block is a category that arranges its settings horizontally instead of vertically. Particularly useful in conjunction with buttons that have no labels.

This type inherits the following: mwseMCMCategory, mwseMCMComponent

Properties⚓︎

childIndent⚓︎

The left padding size in pixels. Used on all the child components.

Returns:

  • result (integer, nil)

childSpacing⚓︎

The bottom border size in pixels. Used on all the child components.

Returns:

  • result (integer, nil)

class⚓︎

Every MCM component has a unique string indentifier specific to that component. These strings are the filename of the file implementing a component. These are found in core\\mcm\\components.

Returns:

  • result (string)

components⚓︎

An array of all the components in this Category.

Returns:

componentType⚓︎

The type of this component.

Returns:

  • result ("Category")

createContentsContainer⚓︎

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

Returns:

description⚓︎

If in a Sidebar Page, the description will be shown on mouseover.

Returns:

  • result (string, nil)

elements⚓︎

This dictionary-style table holds all the UI elements of the Category, for easy access.

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. If false or nil, then this component will be hidden if all subcomponents are disabled (e.g., if all subcomponents have inGameOnly == true and a save hasn't been loaded).

Returns:

  • result (boolean)

label⚓︎

The category label.

Returns:

  • result (string)

mouseOvers⚓︎

This array of UI elements will have an event handler registered to trigger "MCM:MouseOver" event. For more info, see registerMouseOverElements method.

Returns:

paddingBottom⚓︎

The bottom border size in pixels. Only used if the childSpacing is unset on the parent component.

Returns:

  • result (integer)

parentComponent⚓︎

Set to the value of sNo GMST.

Returns:

  • result (string)

sOff⚓︎

Set to the value of sOff GMST.

Methods⚓︎

checkDisabled⚓︎

Returns true if the component should be disabled.

Componets with a variable:

  • True if the Component's variable has inGameOnly field set to true, and the game is on the main menu. For components with multiple subcomponent (Category), the check is done for each subcomponent.

Components without a variable:

  • True if the Component's inGameOnly field is set to true, and the game is on the main menu.
local result = myObject:checkDisabled()

Returns:

  • result (boolean)

Creates a new nested Slider.

local slider = myObject:createSlider({ label = ..., variable = ..., defaultSetting = ..., min = ..., max = ..., step = ..., jump = ..., decimalPlaces = ..., description = ..., callback = ..., inGameOnly = ..., restartRequired = ..., restartRequiredMessage = ..., indent = ..., childIndent = ..., paddingBottom = ..., childSpacing = ..., convertToLabelValue = ..., postCreate = ... })

Parameters:

  • data (table)
    • label (string): Optional. Text shown above the slider. If left as a normal string, it will be shown in the form: [label]: [self.variable.value]. If the string contains a '%s' format operator, the value will be formatted into it.
    • variable (mwseMCMVariable, mwseMCMSettingNewVariable): A variable for this setting.
    • defaultSetting (unknown): Optional. If defaultSetting wasn't passed in the variable table, can be passed here. The new variable will be initialized to this value.
    • min (number): Default: 0. Minimum value of slider.
    • max (number): Default: 100. Maximum value of slider.
    • step (number): Default: 1. How far the slider moves when you press the arrows.
    • jump (number): Default: 5. How far the slider jumps when you click an area inside the slider.
    • decimalPlaces (integer): Default: 0. The number of decimal places of precision. Must be a nonnegative integer.
    • description (string): Optional. If in a Sidebar Page, the description will be shown on mouseover.
    • callback (fun(self: mwseMCMSlider)): Optional. The custom function called when the player interacts with this Setting.
    • inGameOnly (boolean): Default: false. If true, the setting is disabled while the game is on main menu.
    • restartRequired (boolean): Default: false. If true, updating this Setting will notify the player to restart the game.
    • restartRequiredMessage (string): Optional. The message shown if restartRequired is triggered. The default text is a localized version of: "The game must be restarted before this change will come into effect."
    • indent (integer): Default: 12. The left padding size in pixels. Only used if the childIndent isn't set on the parent component.
    • childIndent (integer): Optional. The left padding size in pixels. Used on all the child components.
    • paddingBottom (integer): Default: 4. The bottom border size in pixels. Only used if the childSpacing is unset on the parent component.
    • childSpacing (integer): Optional. The bottom border size in pixels. Used on all the child components.
    • convertToLabelValue (fun(self: mwseMCMSlider, variableValue: number): number, string): Optional. Define a custom formatting function for displaying variable values.
    • postCreate (fun(self: mwseMCMSlider)): Optional. Can define a custom formatting function to make adjustments to any element saved in self.elements.

Returns:

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,

    max = 26 -- there are 27 skills and indexing starts at 0
}
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
