# Popups

The game has various built-in popup widgets that can be spawned easily.

1. **SimpleScreenMessage**

````swift
```
    let warningMsg: SimpleScreenMessage;
    warningMsg.isShown = true;
    warningMsg.duration = 5.00;
    warningMsg.message = "Hello, this is a simple message";
    warningMsg.type = SimpleMessageType.Relic;
    /*
    enum SimpleMessageType {
        Undefined = 0,
        Negative = 1,
        Neutral = 2,
        Vehicle = 3,
        Apartment = 4,
        Relic = 5,
        Money = 6,
        Reveal = 7,
        Boss = 8,
        Twintone = 9,
        Police = 10,
      }
      */
    GameInstance.GetBlackboardSystem(this.GetGame()).Get(GetAllBlackboardDefs().UI_Notifications).SetVariant(GetAllBlackboardDefs().UI_Notifications.WarningMessage, ToVariant(warningMsg), true);
 
```
````

2. **GenericMessageNotification**

Use this if you want a quick popup with a button

### **Using Codeware**

Codeware provides primitives for a lot of common UI components including pop ups.

Here's a simple pop up implemented using Codeware's `InGamePopup`with custom text&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember to add this import:

`import Codeware.UI.*`
{% endhint %}

````swift
```
public class MinimalPopup extends InGamePopup {
    protected let m_header: ref<InGamePopupHeader>;
    protected let m_footer: ref<InGamePopupFooter>;
    protected let m_content: ref<InGamePopupContent>;
    protected let m_text: wref<inkText>;
    protected let customText: String = "Default text";
    
    public static func Create() -> ref<MinimalPopup> {
        let self: ref<MinimalPopup> = new MinimalPopup();
        self.CreateInstance();
        return self;
    }

    protected cb func OnInitialize() {
        super.OnInitialize();
        this.m_text.SetText(this.customText);
    }
    
    protected cb func OnCreate() {
	super.OnCreate();
	this.m_container.SetSize(new Vector2(800.0, 600.0));
	this.m_header = InGamePopupHeader.Create();
	this.m_header.SetTitle("Minimal Popup");
	this.m_header.SetFluffRight("Text Example");
	this.m_header.Reparent(this);
	this.m_footer = InGamePopupFooter.Create();
	this.m_footer.SetFluffIcon(n"fluff_triangle2");
	this.m_footer.SetFluffText("Simple popup with updatable text");
	this.m_footer.Reparent(this);
	this.m_content = InGamePopupContent.Create();
	this.m_content.Reparent(this);

	let canvas = new inkCanvas();
	canvas.SetName(n"canvas");
	canvas.SetAnchor(inkEAnchor.Fill);
	canvas.Reparent(this.m_content.GetRootCompoundWidget());

	let text = new inkText();
	text.SetName(n"updatableText");
	text.SetFontFamily("base\\gameplay\\gui\\fonts\\raj\\raj.inkfontfamily");
	text.SetFontStyle(n"Medium");
	text.SetFontSize(30);
	text.SetHorizontalAlignment(textHorizontalAlignment.Center);
	text.SetVerticalAlignment(textVerticalAlignment.Center);
	text.SetAnchor(inkEAnchor.Centered);
	text.SetAnchorPoint(new Vector2(0.5, 0.5));
	text.SetMargin(new inkMargin(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0));
	text.SetWrapping(true, 700.0);
	text.SetFitToContent(true);
	text.SetStyle(r"base\\gameplay\\gui\\common\\main_colors.inkstyle");
	text.BindProperty(n"tintColor", n"MainColors.Blue");
        text.SetText("Default text");
        text.Reparent(canvas);
	this.m_text = text;
    }

    public func SetCustomText(text: String) -> Void {
        this.customText = text;
    }
} 
```
````

Which can then be used like this:

````swift
```
let controller = GameInstance.GetInkSystem().GetLayer(n"inkHUDLayer").GetGameController() as inkGameController;
let popup = MinimalPopup.Create();
popup.SetCustomText(text);
popup.Open(controller);
```
````

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.redmodding.org/redscript/references-and-examples/ui-scripting/popups.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
