Helper methods – UIState helpers - TiberiumFusion/TTPlugins GitHub Wiki

← Back to the Helper methods overview article.

---

These helpers are located in the nested HHelpers.UIState class and provide information about how the local player is currently interacting with the ingame gui.

All helper methods are static.

---

Method boolIsLocalPlayerTypingInChat()

Returns true if the local player is currently typing something in chat, returns false otherwise.

Example usage:

if (HHelpers.UIState.IsLocalPlayerTypingInChat())
{
	Debug.WriteLine("The local player is typing something in chat.");
}

Method boolIsLocalPlayerRenamingChest()

Returns true if the local player is currently renaming a chest, returns false otherwise.

Example usage:

if (HHelpers.UIState.IsLocalPlayerRenamingChest())
{
	Debug.WriteLine("The local player is renaming a chest right now.");
}

Method boolIsLocalPlayerEditingASign()

Returns true if the local player is currently editing a sign's text, returns false otherwise.

Example usage:

if (HHelpers.UIState.IsLocalPlayerEditingASign())
{
	Debug.WriteLine("The local player is editing some sign text.");
}

Method boolIsLocalPlayerTypingInASearchBox()

Returns true if the local player is currently typing something into a search box, such as the Bestiary's search box. Returns false otherwise.

Example usage:

if (HHelpers.UIState.IsLocalPlayerTypingInASearchBox())
{
	Debug.WriteLine("The local player is using a search box right now.");
}

Method boolIsLocalPlayerTypingSomething()

Returns true if the local player is typing something into any kind of gui textbox, including chat, chest names, sign text, and search boxes. Returns false otherwise.

TIP: This helper is a good way to detect if the local player is currently using some gui and should not be triggering hotkey combinations.

Example usage:

if (HHelpers.UIState.IsLocalPlayerTypingSomething())
{
	// don't do hotkey checks
}
else
{
	if (HHelpers.InputReading.IsKeyComboDown(Keys.A, Keys.LeftControl)))
	{
		// do something
	}
}
