// Define the dialog IDs either with an enum:
enum
{
    DIALOG_LOGIN,
    DIALOG_WELCOME,
    DIALOG_WEAPONS
}
 
// Alternatively, using macros:
#define DIALOG_LOGIN 1
#define DIALOG_WELCOME 2
#define DIALOG_WEAPONS 3
 
// Enums are recommended, as you don't have to keep track of used IDs. However, enums use memory to store the defines, whereas defines are processed in the 'pre-processor' (compiling) stage.
 
// Example for DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX:
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_WELCOME, DIALOG_STYLE_MSGBOX, "Notice", "You are connected to the server", "Close", "");
 
// Example for DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT:
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_LOGIN, DIALOG_STYLE_INPUT, "Login", "Enter your password below:", "Login", "Cancel");
 
// Example for DIALOG_STYLE_LIST:
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_WEAPONS, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "Weapons", "AK47\nM4\nSniper Rifle", "Option 1", "Option 2");
 
// Example for DIALOG_STYLE_PASSWORD:
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_LOGIN, DIALOG_STYLE_PASSWORD, "Login", "Enter your password below:", "Login", "Cancel");
 
// Example for DIALOG_STYLE_TABLIST:
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_WEAPONS, DIALOG_STYLE_TABLIST, "Buy Weapon", "Deagle\t$5000\t100\nSawnoff\t$5000\t100\nPistol\t$1000\t50", "Select", "Cancel");
 
// Example for DIALOG_STYLE_TABLIST_HEADERS:
ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, DIALOG_WEAPONS, DIALOG_STYLE_TABLIST_HEADERS, "Buy Weapon", "Weapon\tPrice\tAmmo\nDeagle\t$5000\t100\nSawnoff\t$5000\t100\nPistol\t$1000\t50", "Select", "Cancel");

Note

It is recommended to use enumerations (see above) or definitions (#define) to determine which IDs dialogs have, to avoid confusion in the future. You should never use literal numbers for IDs - it gets confusing.


Tips

  • Use color embedding for multiple colors in the text.
  • Using -1 as dialogid closes all dialogs currently shown on the client's screen.
