Basically what I am trying to do is get the number of a panel element to be used as a pointer. I KNOW this is possible since the engine has no problem retrieving information using PANEL->element type->element number, I just dont know how to do it. what I am trying to achieve is when the clicks a panel element it would set a variable to its current ID number. I have a list of servers that get retrieved (which are created at runtime) and their information is stored in an internal array. I am attempting to access the information in that array via button number (ex. return = array[button number] Last edited by exile; 07/12/12 00:11.

I hope that in future we will be able to create such optional parameters by our own.. Last edited by Esp�r; 07/12/12 03:47.

Code: void DoFoo(int FooA, int FooB, int FooC) { //do something badass } void DoFoo(int FooA, int FooB) { DoFoo(FooA, FooB, MyDefault); } void DoFoo(int FooA) { DoFoo(FooA, MyDefault); } MY Website with news of my projects: (for example my current Muliplayer Bomberman, GenesisPrecompiler for LiteC and TileMaster, an easy to use Tile editor) Sparetime-Development
