Popmenu question

[darkkeepr]

Hello. I recently stumbled upon the popup menu feature after reading a guide on the Labyrinth raid.   I have some questions and was hoping someone could answer them if possible. I am not sure where this would be best posted so I posted it here. I do apologize if this should have been in the help section but that seemed to be more for actual game bugs and issues and not for something this.

So the first question I have is if it is possible to setup a recruitment button in the popmenu to send a message to a global channel? I am trying to send a message to my SG Global Channel and I am using the command Chan_Send which I found on the HC Wiki but I am getting an error that Chan_Send is an unknown command or if I use Send it says Send is an unknown command.  I can send a message to the SG Global chat using a macro no problem. So I am confused on what I am doing.  The command for the popmenu am using is OPTION "SG" "CHAN_SEND "SG NAME HERE". I've searched the forums and found no solution so far to this.

My second question is I am wondering if I can have a custom popmenu for each character rather than just 1? If so how would I switch between them or have them just be there when I load for that particular character?

 

Also is it possible to close the menu and open it up without loosing the buttons?
Do we have the option to change the name of the window from CUSTOM to say my character's name?

 

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

I think /chan_send can only be issued at the chat prompt.

 

From a popmenu command, you would need to prefix it with beginchat to open a chat prompt i.e. beginchat /chan_send ...

 

NB You can omit underscores and use random mixed case the command can be BeginChat /ChanSend if you like.

 

Menus are shared from the same folder so no, different characters cannot have different menus.

 

You could embed the variable $name in the command.

Hi!

 

I moved your popmenu question from general to Tools, Utilities, and Downloads.  If you look at some of the other threads here, you'll find several popmenu guides that can give you ideas.

 

Good luck!

Thank you for the reply. Disappointed they can't be more character specific and less general purpose.
I'll give that chat command a try.
Thanks Googly for moving this to the correct spot.

So the global chat invite sets it up to be sent instead of just auto posting in the SG Global channel. And on top of that I guess because my SG has two names instead of a single name it won't.  Yet for the marco it worked. Not sure what is going on.
