API UI functions Reference

In order to open a popup window, you must first define the position of the popup on your map.

You can position this popup by using a "rectangle" object in Tiled that you will place on an "object" layer.

WA.ui.openPopup(targetObject: string, message: string, buttons: ButtonDescriptor[]): Popup

targetObject: the name of the rectangle object defined in Tiled.
message: the message to display in the popup.
buttons: an array of action buttons defined underneath the popup.

Action buttons are ButtonDescriptor objects containing these properties.

label (string): The label of the button.
className (string): The visual type of the button. Can be one of "normal", "primary", "success", "warning", "error", "disabled".
callback ((popup: Popup)=>void): Callback called when the button is pressed.

Please note that openPopup returns an object of the Popup class. Also, the callback called when a button is clicked is passed a Popup object.

The Popup class that represents an open popup contains a single method: close(). This will obviously close the popup when called.

class Popup {
    /**
     * Closes the popup
     */
    close() {};
}

Example:

let helloWorldPopup;

// Open the popup when we enter a given zone
helloWorldPopup = WA.room.onEnterLayer("myZone").subscribe(() => {
    WA.ui.openPopup("popupRectangle", 'Hello world!', [{
        label: "Close",
        className: "primary",
        callback: (popup) => {
            // Close the popup when the "Close" button is pressed.
            popup.close();
        }
    }]);
});

// Close the popup when we leave the zone.
WA.room.onLeaveLayer("myZone").subscribe(() => {
    helloWorldPopup.close();
})

WA.ui.registerMenuCommand(commandDescriptor: string, options: MenuOptions): Menu

Add a custom menu item containing the text commandDescriptor in the navbar of the menu. options attribute accepts an object with three properties :

callback : (commandDescriptor: string) => void : A click on the custom menu will trigger the callback.
iframe: string : A click on the custom menu will open the iframe inside the menu.
allowApi?: boolean : Allow the iframe of the custom menu to use the Scripting API.

Important : options accepts only callback or iframe not both.

Custom menu exist only until the map is unloaded, or you leave the iframe zone of the script.

Example:

const menu = WA.ui.registerMenuCommand('menu test',
    {
        callback: () => {
            WA.chat.sendChatMessage('test');
        }
    })

// Some time later, if you want to remove the menu:
menu.remove();

Please note that registerMenuCommand returns an object of the Menu class.

The Menu class contains a single method: remove(): void. This will obviously remove the menu when called.

class Menu {
	/**
	* Remove the menu
	*/
	remove() {};
}

Awaiting User Confirmation (with space bar)

WA.ui.displayActionMessage({
    message: string,
    callback: () => void,
    type?: "message"|"warning",
}): ActionMessage

Displays a message at the bottom of the screen (that will disappear when space bar is pressed).

Example:

const triggerMessage = WA.ui.displayActionMessage({
    message: "press 'space' to confirm",
    callback: () => {
        WA.chat.sendChatMessage("confirmed", "trigger message logic")
    }
});

setTimeout(() => {
    // later
    triggerMessage.remove();
}, 1000)

Please note that displayActionMessage returns an object of the ActionMessage class.

The ActionMessage class contains a single method: remove(): Promise<void>. This will obviously remove the message when called.

class ActionMessage {
    /**
     * Hides the message
     */
    remove() {};
}
