Title: integer and string input
Post by: bender180 on May 12, 2013, 08:06:29 AM

is it possible to have a user be able to input an integer only when a certain string is selected? so say the string is slay is it possible to have a integer input feild enabled for the user to add a value but when any other string is selected the input field is disabled?

In ULX?

As for determining it's optionality based on the previous input string, well, uh, I don't think so.
Megiddo and perhaps MrP/Stickly can weigh in on that.

Yes, command arguments are static. Creating an API for dynamic arguments as you're suggesting would be a nightmare... *shudder*

You can enforce the dynamic aspect yourself by always taking it as a string argument.
