Not sure, might be, I do not know any but I remember there was a similar discussion here months ago. Maybe someone remembers who pointed out a solution.
I'd check how the keybind for the waypoint works, what function is called and just check if there is a control == WorldMap check or similar, and maybe just add a keybind handler to your polygon controls then to pass the same function call to that worldmap control directly (if this is possible)
Ask @votan73 he might know if there is another easier way to pass that on
this is my hack for now..
if (AWM.currentlySelectedPolygon ~= nil and not isInGamepadMode()) then
local xN, yN = getNormalisedMouseCoordinates()
AWMWaypointKeybind = {
{
name = "Set Destination",
keybind = "UI_SHORTCUT_TERTIARY",
callback = function() onWaypointSet(nil, "waypoint", xN, yN, true) end,
},
alignment = KEYBIND_STRIP_ALIGN_CENTER,
}
KEYBIND_STRIP:AddKeybindButtonGroup(AWMWaypointKeybind)
else
KEYBIND_STRIP:RemoveKeybindButtonGroup(AWMWaypointKeybind)
endFor PTS, if something is not clickable, add +2 to Level of the control.
i do not understand this
i mean the PTS/live part, does he mean something has changed this PTS regarding control levels?
Linked above
It provides an example at the esoui wiki too
note that my issue is not that it is not clickable, but it is eating up other events, does votan's advice here still apply?
But it's good to know either way
Instead of manipulating the keybind strip check the original keybind function and hook it to see if the keybind F, if pressed, is raised or not. If it's not raised your approach maybe the best then, but if it is raised try to check why it does not work on your control and manipulate it like in a ZO_PreHook the ctrl of the function is your polygone and thus it does not work? Call the same function again without the prehook code (like set a variable to true and skip your prehook code by that), call the original function but pass in the correct WORLDMAP control to work with the waypoint, and after that set the variable to false again
check the original keybind function and hook it to see if the keybind F, if pressed, is raised or not.
I do not know how to do this
check which function is used there in the keybind callback
And then use ZO_PreHook to hook it
if it is not local
Oh this is gamepad
callback = function()
if g_keybindStrips.mouseover:IsOverPinType(MAP_PIN_TYPE_PLAYER_WAYPOINT) then
ZO_WorldMap_RemovePlayerWaypoint()
else
local x, y = NormalizePreferredMousePositionToMap()
if ZO_WorldMap_IsNormalizedPointInsideMapBounds(x, y) then
PingMap(MAP_PIN_TYPE_PLAYER_WAYPOINT, MAP_TYPE_LOCATION_CENTERED, x, y)
g_keybindStrips.mouseover:DoMouseEnterForPinType(MAP_PIN_TYPE_PLAYER_WAYPOINT) -- this should have been called by the mouseover update, but it's not getting called
end
end
end,
This is called as the keybind for set waypoint is pressed -> the callback function
if ZO_WorldMap_IsNormalizedPointInsideMapBounds(x, y) then
Maybe this check is false here because of your polygons, dunno
But it is added here to a global as it seems:
g_keybindStrips.mouseover = ZO_MapMouseoverKeybindStrip:New(self.control, mouseoverDescriptor)
So find out where g_keybindStrips is made local, and verwrite it with your own keybind definition e.g.
where you have changed the table mouseoverDescriptor with your code + debug messages
Hm, seems g_keybindStrips is only local, and no func returns it or it was not added to any global so one can access it :(
so my approach (hacky) is the best one until I find a way to pass down event to ZO_WorldMapContainer then?
You could just try the same as ZOs code does here:
https://github.com/esoui/esoui/blob/0841c7e7cacbfab7bbee52c94647555cd66c206d/esoui/ingame/map/worldmap.lua#L4180
The keybinds are added/removed from the strip as the mouse nters/exits the map
The descriptor is used to find the keybind table to add/remove
KEYBIND_STRIP:AddKeybindButtonGroup(g_keybindStrips.mouseover:GetDescriptor())
KEYBIND_STRIP:RemoveKeybindButtonGroup(g_keybindStrips.mouseover:GetDescriptor())
KEYBIND_STRIP:RemoveKeybindButtonGroup(g_keybindStrips.mouseover:GetDescriptor())
If you fnd the correct descriptor within g_keybindStrips.mouseover you could create your own with the same descriptor and "overwrite" it that way, maybe
You just need to do somehting like
SecurePostHook("ZO_WorldMap_MouseEnter", function()
if not IsInGamepadPreferredMode() then
KEYBIND_STRIP:AddKeybindButtonGroup(myOwnMouseoverKeybindDescriptorTable)
end
end)
confused as how this would help - I would need a ref to worldmap's waypoint callback function to help here wouldn't I?
or if I just left out callback would it default to ZOS's ?
You would define your own keybind function there where you can add debug messges and check what the code by ZOs does that way, to find out why it is not working as intended. Either it's never called as your mouse is above the polygon as the ZO_WorldMap_MouseEnter is not called at your polygon -> Easy fix: In your polygon's onMouseEnter add the call to ZO_WorldMap_MouseEnter so that the keybind is shown
Or you would find out more to be able to fix your problem with the waypoint keybind that way, maybe
It was an example "how to debug what is wrong", not a solution for your problem
