Settings layout

Now the addon is ready to create custom settings, so let's create the file

Layout: settings(root) -> tab -> var -> value

Var types

Currently supporting "bool" "numslider" "float" types

Basic methods

:SetName("name here")

:SetDesc("description here")

:SetNameTranslateKey("translate key for name here") - force addon to use translation from language file

:SetNameTranslateKey("translate key for description here") - force addon to use translation from language file

Settings file example

Create file ehud/lua/ehud/config/config.lua

with content:

local settings = esclib:InitSettings("ehud")--Create settings instance in "ehud" addon

--tab creating

local tab = settings:AddTab("modules") --uid

tab:SetNameTranslateKey("tab_modules") --key in language file. You can use :SetName("any name without translation here")

tab:SetPosition(1) --postion (optional)

--adding vars

-- AddVar(uid,type)

local var = tab:AddVar("module_hud_leftbot", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_mainhud_name") --key in language file

var:SetValue(true) -- default value

--var with custom check

local var = tab:AddVar("module_fpp", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_fpp_name")

var:SetDescTranslateKey("s_fpp_desc")

var:SetValue(true)

var:CustomCheck(function(self,addon)

return DarkRP ~= nil

end)

--New tab creating

local tab = settings:AddTab("general")

tab:SetNameTranslateKey("tab_general")

tab:SetPosition(2)

--Different type

local var = tab:AddVar("animtime", "numslider")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_animspeed_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.config.AnimationSpeed)

var:SetMin(0.01)

var:SetMax(3)

var:SetDecimals(2)

var:SetStep(0.1)

--Blur

local var = tab:AddVar("paintblur", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_blur_name")

var:SetDescTranslateKey("s_blur_desc")

var:SetValue(ehud.config.DrawBackgroundBlur)

-- perform settings, load from file, save if not exists

settings:End()

Using example:

print(ehud.addon:GetVar("module_fpp")) --will print true, if not changed
