Question: Make a custom window in GameScript?

[HayabusaShinkansen]

Is its possible to create a custom window in GameScript?

Just a simple window with a few dropdowns and input fields.

Ideally want to activate that window when I click on a station (ideally add a button there). The idea is to use a script to do some tasks relating to that station.

Found this but AFAICT it only allows interaction with existing windows: https://docs.openttd.org/gs-api/classGSWindow

Did find a "GoalQuestionWindow" https://docs.openttd.org/source/d5/d0d/ ... tionWindow though no doc on how to call it from GameScript. Maybe limited to just a few predefined buttons. Not other widgets?

There was a proposal to do "CustomWindow" https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Development ... m%20Window but no other reference to the keyword exists so probably never implemented because doesn't seem to be in window_type.h: https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/blob ... dow_type.h

Tutorials on GameScript are almost non-existent. There are some on AI, but for GS this is all there is: !? https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Manual/Game%20script and doesn't say much. The best thing I've found is MinimalGS, and that doesn't show how to do windows. Looked at the list of Game Scripts and none of them seem to do their own windows either. If it's not possible, how to raise a request with the Openttd devs for a custom window? Alternately happy to write it myself if someone can point me in the right direction.

No.

What you can do right now is use the StoryBook API. It mainly consists of text and buttons, where the buttons can do various different things, including let the player pick tiles or vehicles on the map.

I don't recall if there is a way to open a query window to ask for the player to input text.

Thanks @jfs. Seems the controls are limited (no dropdowns, no text or numeric inputs, no popup queries either https://docs.openttd.org/gs-api/classGS ... 641b9a2ddd ) but seems being able to select a location and click on a button is just enough to trigger a script, so that's enough to start. Thank you for the pointer.
