iOS Dummy Control extension

Extremely helpful! Thank you, Andos!

What's the correct way to code an extension Action?

In my iOS extension I have the method:

-(void)showAD:(CActExtension*)act
{
}

But how to define it on .json?

"ActionMenu": [
        [
            0,
            'ShowAd'
        ],

Is that enought so the extension knows what is the correct call? How should I also add properties for this method?

Thanks

You give each action/expression/condition a number and the method takes a number as a parameter, you have to execute the appropriate code for the right action number. You should use the method -(void)action:(int)num withActExtension:(CActExtension *)act, then test for the "num" parameter as the same number as your action, for example in your case you want to execute the showad functionality if num == 0. "act" holds the parameters in a CActExtension object, which you can retrieve with [act getParamExpression:rh withNum:0]; where 0 is the number of your parameter.

Cool.. that helps!Hope that help others too..
Thanks DistantJ and Andos

There is a JSON creation guide here:

I also started writing a guide for creating extensions (mainly for non-clickers but anyone can use it):

Hi Anders - nice guide for creating extensions, but still not complete! Any chance you could finish the 'Wrapping a UIView in the extension' or give me some pointers where to look? Thanks!

Anders - trying the iOS Dummy Control extension and I've noticed that I can't see the parameters in MMF2 when I mouse over an action, e.g. an Active Picture will display something like New Picture: "test.jpg", but my extension using the Dummy extension and JSON file just shows New Picture. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a limitation of the Dummy Control extension?

Anders - I may be mistaken, but it seems this can't be used for Conditions as it crashes the PC Runtime (unless they require 2 values, like your example) even if they work on a callback (using Triggered: true). Or perhaps I need to leave that condition and add a new one? I think I may have to get my hands dirty and do something on the PC side! Sorry for all the Qs

Crashes on my end as well The extension and actions etc appear in the event editor, but trying to run the game via Windows crashes. Have yet to try on iOS.

would be great if you can finish this guide, anders. it will prevent much headaches with extern developers, i think. thank you!
