Hi there, does anyone know of a compiled list of known widgets used in guts? urakkaamyx on steam was wondering.
Thanks!

I'm sorry but care to elaborate on this? I'm confused and I probably forgotten most of my GUTS knowledge by now, so what "Widgets" you are referring to?

I guess what he's referring to is a list of widgets that can be typed manually into the widget field in the properties in some menus

I see. Then I guess you are right to say that these widgets in the data field are all internal function but I don't think they do much anyway, there are just hidden logic. It will not be an obstacle that can prevent you from making a system of your own.

Also @Aherin, if I'm not mistaken, we somehow already discussed about these widgets in UI editor, right?

Yes I think we did :) Did you work out that the menus used as "pieces" are not affected by logic or something like that? I remember there being some limitation. I'm not sure exactly why urakkaamyx wants to know a list, but I figure it's because he's trying to learn how guts works.

While i dont know the internal List, you can make menus based on widgets as well.

So widgets can be anything you name it.

Now that you described it like so, I seem to recall something like this. Good job understanding this on your own. My past experience with this, I think can be seen with my Revamp Notifications mod.
