making a actionbutton do anything

Purpose: to get actionbutton id's and making them work(works in interfaces too)

Difficulty: 1/10 depends on what you code for the button

Classes Modified: client.java

Step 1: ok lets say you wanted the button effect volume off to work
so first we click on the button once then we look in serverconsole and you should see something like
ok now we got the id of that button lets move on to step to



Step 2: to make that button work search after case 185 like this

Code:

case 185:

and you should come to this one

Code:

case 185:              //clicking most buttons

and now scroll down untill you see this

Code:

switch(actionButtonId) {

after the { so must you add a case like this

Code:

case ACTIONBUTTONID:

so this case for that button will start now like this

Code:

case 3173:

so now we got our case ready so lets add stuff that will happen when you press that button

so start with adding

Code:

sendMessage("you just pressed the effect volume off button");

so it looks like

Code:

case 3173:
sendMessage("you just pressed the effect volume off button");

and that's it but wait if you compile you will get a error
so lets add this under the sendmessage

Code:

break;

so it looks like

Code:

case 3173:
sendMessage("you just pressed the effect volume off button");
break;

now your done save and compile and click the button and you should see something like this when you click it



remember cases are like if's

case : is same as a {

and break; is same as }

except it should be one of each unless you do another switch in that case

what you have learn'd(i hope): how to get action button id's, how to make them work
