winclone(player, window_name, clone_name)
Args
player: A mob or client.window_name: The name of a window, pane, menu, or macro set in the world’s skin file.clone_name: The name of the new window, pane, menu, or macro set to create.
Creates a clone of a window, pane, menu, or macro set that exists in the world’s skin file. The original object as it exists in the skin file (not its current state) is used as a template to build the clone. The clone will exist only for the player you choose.
winset(usr, "templatewindow", "clonedwindow")If a window is not visible by default, it will have to be shown with winset() or winshow(). A pane may be shown by using it in a Child or Tab control. Menus or macros must be assigned to a window with winset() before they will work.
If window_name is “window”, “pane”, “menu”, or “macro”, and the skin file does not have a control of that name already, the proc will create a new control of that type from scratch.
winclone(usr, "menu", "newmenu")
winset(usr, "newmenu_file", "parent=newmenu;name=File")
winset(usr, "newmenu_quit", "parent=newmenu_file;name=Quit;command=.quit")A new window is invisible by default. For windows and panes, you should give them a size with winset() before adding any controls so you can set their anchors properly.
// Create the pane
winclone(usr, "pane", "newpane")
// Give it a size so we can figure out where to put controls
winset(usr, "newpane", "size=100x100")
// Add controls
winset(usr, "newpane_label", \
"parent=newpane;pos=0,0;size=100x100;anchor1=0,0;anchor2=100,100")
// Put the pane in a child control where it can be seen
winset(usr, "a_child", "left=newpane")
usr << output("New label", "newpane_label")Once a clone is created, it can be deleted via a winset() call:
winset(usr, "clonedwindow", "parent=none")
