Hello everyone!
Im trying to make an unofficial Ink-based program-creator program, but im quite stuck in making headerMenus…
The first menu does never show up?
Picture:
Picture info: There should be a button called "Edit" just before the "View" button… but it seems like its not even creating that? nothing happens when i click on the "edit" invisible button's position, but it works with the "View", "Project" etc…
CODE ( line 34 to 72 and 259 to 290 )
Thanks in Advance

My that is a messy setup you have there, you're gonna have to do some debugging yourself. Here's the funcftion i use to debug variables
debug = {
times = 0,
prep = function()
screen:setBackgroundColor(colors.black)
screen:setTextColor(colors.white)
screen:setLayer(6)
screen:fill()
screen:setCursorPos(1,1)
end,
pause = function()
while true do
local _e,key = os.pullEvent"key"
if key == 14 then
error()
else
return
end
end
end,
variables = function(...)
debug.times = debug.times+1
local tLines = {}
for i=1,#arg do
local var = arg[i]
if not var then
tLines[#tLines+1] = "nil"
elseif type(var) == "table" then
for k,v in pairs(var) do
tLines[#tLines+1] = k..": "..tostring(v)
end
else
tLines[#tLines+1] = type(var).." "..var
end
end
local lines = tTerm.screen.y-2
local pages = math.ceil(#tLines/lines)
for page = 1,pages do
debug.prep()
print("Page "..page.."/"..pages.." Debug call #"..debug.times.." on "..tFile.program)
for line = lines*(page-1)+1,lines*page do
if not tLines[line] then
break
else
print(tLines[line])
end
end
debug.pause()
end
end,
}
I'd suggest using it to check the variables determining where the text is loacted. See if any of them are incorrect, then check where they're generated.
v["position"] = {}
v["position"]["xPos"] = xText;
v["position"]["xMin"] = xStart;
v["position"]["xMax"] = xEnd;
v["position"]["yMin"] = yMin;
v["position"]["yMax"] = yMax;
debug.variables(v.position)

Well i can only say that something in that debugging code is wrong… thers attempt to index'es ( a nil value ) several times… woo?
Is this debug-program used in something else with custom term etc?

oh right, my bad :P/>
debug = {
times = 0,
prep = function()
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.black)
term.setTextColor(colors.white)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end,
pause = function()
while true do
local _e,key = os.pullEvent"key"
if key == 14 then
error()
else
return
end
end
end,
variables = function(...)
debug.times = debug.times+1
local tLines = {}
for i=1,#arg do
local var = arg[i]
if not var then
tLines[#tLines+1] = "nil"
elseif type(var) == "table" then
for k,v in pairs(var) do
tLines[#tLines+1] = k..": "..tostring(v)
end
else
tLines[#tLines+1] = type(var).." "..var
end
end
local lines = tTerm.screen.y-2
local pages = math.ceil(#tLines/lines)
for page = 1,pages do
debug.prep()
print("Page "..page.."/"..pages.." Debug call #"..debug.times.." on "..tFile.program)
for line = lines*(page-1)+1,lines*page do
if not tLines[line] then
break
else
print(tLines[line])
end
end
debug.pause()
end
end,
}
There, try that

tTerm.screen.y-2 is making everything error…
Spoiler
debug = {
times = 0,
prep = function()
term.setBackgroundColor(colors.black)
term.setTextColor(colors.white)
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end,
pause = function()
while true do
local _e,key = os.pullEvent"key"
if key == 14 then
error()
else
return
end
end
end,
variables = function(...)
debug.times = debug.times+1
local tLines = {}
for i=1,#arg do
local var = arg[i]
if not var then
tLines[#tLines+1] = "nil"
elseif type(var) == "table" then
for k,v in pairs(var) do
tLines[#tLines+1] = k..": "..tostring(v)
end
else
tLines[#tLines+1] = type(var).." "..var
end
end
local lines = tTerm.screen.y-2
local pages = math.ceil(#tLines/lines)
for page = 1,pages do
debug.prep()
print("Page "..page.."/"..pages.." Debug call #"..debug.times.." on "..tFile.program)
for line = lines*(page-1)+1,lines*page do
if not tLines[line] then
break
else
print(tLines[line])
end
end
debug.pause()
end
end,
}
startup:43: attempt to index ( a nil value! )

Guess i should get around to throwing this stuff in a standalone api at some point, it's proven quite handy lol.
just change it to 17, it's the size of the screen on the y-axis.

xD… now theres an error online 47
print("Page "..page.."/"..pages.." Debug call #"..debug.times.." on "..tFile.program) – what is tFile.program?
Same type of error. (attempt to index)
EDIT: Im going to make a quick debug test… then ill respond
EDIT 2:
Well after some debugging, i found out that i wasn't setting the cursor position at the beginning so everything went to place the
text/button -1 to the comparrison of the table,
which makes the first button invisible.
so End result so far:

It's not really important, it's the path of the program. You can change it to shell.getRunningProgram()
