GetUIFloatAlt
From GECK
A function added by the New Vegas Script Extender version 6.0.8.
Contents
Description
Looks up a UI trait by name and returns its numeric float value. The trait name is of the format "MenuName/ElementName/ElementName/.../TraitName" as defined in the XML hierarchy for the desired menu, i.e. "MessageMenu/NoGlow_Branch/MM_Title/x". Returns -999 if UI trait was not found. Supersedes GetUIFloat, which is bugged for templated children tiles.
Syntax
(float) GetUIFloatAlt traitName:string
Example
GetUIFloatAlt "RepairServicesMenu/NOGLOW_BRANCH/RSM_MainRect/RSM_RepairList/RSM_RepairListTemplateRect:4/string"
Returns the name of the 4th item on the Repair Services menu.
GetUIFloatAlt "BarterMenu/*:0/*:5/*:9/lb_scrollbar/_number_of_items"
Returns the number of items in the Barter menu.
Notes
- The traitName argument to Get/SetUI(Float/String) has two extra capabilities. A path segment of "*" matches any child tile, and a path segment suffix of ":N" matches the N'th child tile. This is useful when accessing list box items, where the tile names are either identical, or unpredictable, or both.
- Do not use this command with MCM since it depends on bugged behaviour. Instead use GetUIFloat.
