Dynamic Windows

Dynamic Windows allow you to create a window on the server and present it to the client. Certain types will trigger a Dynamic Window Response such as dynamicWindow:AddButton, allowing you to control the window dependent on user input.

These examples are made to be copy paste ready, leaving in the comments is strongly recommended. If you don't need all the parameters you can do this:

local dynamicWindow = DynamicWindow(
	"MyWindow", --(string) Window ID used to uniquely identify the window. It is returned in the DynamicWindowResponse event.
	"My Window, --(string) Title of the window for the client UI
	100, --(number) Width of the window
	100 --(number) Height of the window
	--startX, --(number) Starting X position of the window (chosen by client if not specified)
	--startY, --(number) Starting Y position of the window (chosen by client if not specified)
	--windowType, --(string) Window type (optional)
	--windowAnchor --(string) Window anchor (default "TopLeft")
)

gameObj:OpenDynamicWindow(dynamicWindow)

Please notice after the height parameter the comma was removed, this is crucial or you will receive a Lua error similar to unexpected symbol near ')'

Setting a (number) to 0 or (string) to "" is the same as not setting it.
