Radio Selection - Jump to Last Screen

[GalacTekM]

Have a project that contains radio selection box that im having some troubles with. This is what i am trying to accomplish.

If the user selects yes (CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_01) then i would like the installer to continue on as normal.

If the user selects no (CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_02) then i would like the installer to skip the next screen(s) and go the the "Finished Install" screen.

Is this a possibility or am i chasing my tail? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The "stock" way of doing it would be to use an if/endif block on your OnNext

if the user selects radio#2 then
screen.jump("the screen you want them to go to")
else
screen.next()
end

a better way (IMHO) is to use the ConditionalScreens.lua script file (search for it in the forums) -- it allows you to skip screens.. so in the screen you want to "skip" you would put, in onpreload:

if RadioButton == 2 then
Screen.Skip();
end

this requires you to use different calls in your other screens.
Screen.GoNext() instead of Screen.Next()
Screen.GoBack() instead of Screen.Back()

this is better because if the user clicks "back" you don't have to deal with the skipped screen in a 2nd place....

I have tried the Screen.Jump ("Finished Install") with no prevail as well as Screen.End

why don't you post your code -- becuase "it works" isn't going to help you

if (nSelectedControl == CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_02) then
Screen.Jump ("Finished Install")
else
Screen.Next ()

Im pretty sure this isnt correct, still trying to learn LUA. Thanks

1st off -- where do you set nSelectedControl?

Style is a bit odd (to me) usually you have the parens next to the method
Screen.Next() instead of Screen.Next () but I don't think that's your problem...

Here's code that works -- provided that you you are using the "stock" finish screen ID (didnt change it) and the "stock" session var on a radiobutton screen.

You may need to change the code if you altered either...
The code goes in "On Next" of the radio button screen...

if String.ToNumber(SessionVar.Get("%RadioSelection%")) == CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_02 then
Screen.Jump("Finished Install");
else
Screen.Next();
end

This also does not work. Seems to ignore the Screen.Jump action. No matter which radio is selected, it continues to the next screen.

you're doing something wrong..
post your project file.

[GalacTekM]

File is attached in RAR format. Forum does not accept .sf8

[jassing]

you cannot jump sections from pre-install to post-install

[jassing]

not to mention you're issuing a screen.next before your if statement; so the if statement never gets executed...

[GalacTekM]

I was able to get it to work with the following code:

if String.ToNumber(SessionVar.Get("%RadioSelection%")) == CTRL_RADIO_BUTTON_02 then
Screen.End ()
else
Screen.Next();
end

Problem was (which i stupidly did not realize) is that i had a Screen.Next variable before my if statement.

Thanks for you help.
