This is a challenge where you must create a ModPE Script which implements GUI's into MCPE.
Restrictions:
1. The ModPE script must not exceed 200 lines.
2. The ModPE script must implement GUI's for at least three functions.

The aim of this challenge is to see more GUI ModPE scripts on the forums.

Perhaps to gui mod challenge?

The problem in doing that is the fact that there is no reward. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't every challenge have to have a reward?

Have you ever tried making one? They're hard I tell you. Make one yourself first.

GUI isn't easy. Anyone want me to create a function library that'll make it easier?

It would be great if you could make a function library for GUI! Also your YouTube tutorials have been really helpful. Good work!

Yeah !

Yeah, adding GUI requires Java. I only know JavaScript (along with many others) so not many people can make GUI scripts.

You just need to copy someone's GUI code and modify it. There is no way to make a GUI script look very different to other people's GUI scripts even if you know Java well. The only differences would be the size and placement of the buttons and the functions of each button.

YES PLEASE!!!

Lol, this was two years ago. And GUI isn't really that hard, especially if you have a template.

Yes, I know, but it would be better if there where functions.

Well this thread came back to life somehow... I think CheesyFriedBacon made one, but I am not sure.

I'm sure anybody can do this now, but this is a tutorial by byteandahalf.

var buttonWindow = null; //A window we haven't yet made

function newLevel() { //As soon as the world loads
var activity = com.mojang.minecraftpe.MainActivity.currentMainActivity.get();
//A variable we'll use later to add the button to the current MCPE activity
activity.runOnUiThread(new java.lang.Runnable({ run: function() {
//This will allow our button to run on the current UI thread of MCPE
try { //Try to create our button
buttonWindow = new android.widget.PopupWindow();
//Make our variable a usable window
var layout = new android.widget.RelativeLayout(activity);
//A layout to put into our window
var button = new android.widget.Button(activity);
//A button to put in our layout
button.setText("Press Me!");
//Write some text upon our button
button.setOnClickListener(new android.view.View.OnClickListener({
//When we press our button
onClick: function(viewarg) { //This lets our button run something
//The function() comes from activity.runOnUiThread()
Level.explode(Player.getX(), Player.getY(), Player.getZ(), 3.0);
clientMessage("This is our button!");
}
}));
layout.addView(button);//Add our button to our layout
buttonWindow.setContentView(layout);//Add our layout to our window
buttonWindow.setWidth(android.widget.RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
buttonWindow.setHeight(android.widget.RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
//Make our window the same size as the button within
buttonWindow.setBackgroundDrawable(new
android.graphics.drawable.ColorDrawable(android.graphics.Color.TRANSPARENT));
//The outline of our button's(The window) color
buttonWindow.showAtLocation(activity.getWindow().getDecorView(), android.view.Gravity.RIGHT | android.view.Gravity.BOTTOM, 0, 0);
//The location of our button on the screen, BOTTOM RIGHT
//The 0, 0 is the margin size, use this to push it around along those locations
}catch(problem){
print("Button could not be displayed: " + problem); //Print our error if we failed to make the button
}
}}));
}

function leaveGame() { //Get rid of it when we leave the world
var activity = com.mojang.minecraftpe.MainActivity.currentMainActivity.get();
activity.runOnUiThread(new java.lang.Runnable({ run: function() {
if(buttonWindow != null) { //If our window still exists
buttonWindow.dismiss(); //Remove it from the screen
buttonwindow = null; //Reset it
}
}}));
}


Hope this helps people!
