Registering Slices

Instead of the old method hooking into the corresponding menu's function and having to deal with boilerplate code to get your slice to display it is much simpler now to add a slice to the menu.

You have available the methods:
Vehicle Menu
VehicleMenuAPI.registerSlice(sliceName, sliceFunction)
VehicleMenuAPI.registerSliceOutside(sliceName, sliceFunction)
Emote Menu
EmoteMenuAPI.registerSlice(sliceName, sliceFunction)

An example of their usage is:
local function onExample(player) player:Say("This is a custom slice!") end local function exampleFunction(menu, player, vehicle) menu:addSlice("What's This?", getTexture("media/ui/emotes/shrug.png"), onExample, player) end VehicleMenuAPI.registerSlice("example", exampleFunction)
Your registered function will be called with the arguments menu, player and, for VehicleMenuAPI, vehicle.

Along with these, methods to unregister a slice are also provided in case you want to disable a slice:
VehicleMenuAPI.unregisterSlice(sliceName)
VehicleMenuAPI.unregisterSliceOutside(sliceName)
EmoteMenuAPI.unregisterSlice(sliceName)

Modifying Existing Slices

Slices are registered with a unique name. Registering another slice with the same name will replace the called function, therefore allowing modification of existing slices.

All base game slices were converted to the new system. Their names are:
VehicleMenuAPI
  • SwitchSeat (Inside Vehicle)
  • StartStopEngine (Inside Vehicle)
  • Hotwire (Inside Vehicle)
  • Headlights (Inside Vehicle)
  • Heater (Inside Vehicle)
  • Horn (Inside Vehicle)
  • Lightbar (Inside Vehicle)
  • Device (Inside Vehicle)
  • Window (Inside Vehicle)
  • Locks (Inside Vehicle)
  • Mechanics (Inside Vehicle)
  • Sleep (Inside Vehicle)
  • ExitVehicle (Inside Vehicle)
  • Mechanics (Outside Vehicle)
  • EnterVehicle (Outside Vehicle)
  • Fuel (Outside Vehicle)
  • OpenCloseLock (Outside Vehicle)
  • SmashWindow (Outside Vehicle)
  • Towing (Outside Vehicle)

EmoteMenuAPI
Due to the way the vanilla menu is coded, to better preserve mod compatibility the default slices were not converted. If you wish to modify them, edit the ISEmoteRadialMenu.menu table.
