How to use it in my plugin

[gabrielyotoo]

Hey!
I need to use SharpModMenu menus in my plugin, which is currently using NickFox007/MenuManagerCS2. How can I do that? I already added CSSUniversalMenuAPI NuGet package to my solution and didn't find the documentation clear enough on this steps.
Thank you

Hey, I didn't see this until now sorry, so in your plugins, you add a reference to this API, but don't include it in your published files:

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="CSSUniversalMenuApi" Version="0.4.0" ExcludeAssets="runtime" />
  </ItemGroup>

Then you create a menu like so:

using CSSUniversalMenuAPI;

var menu = UniversalMenu.CreateMenu(player);
menu.Title = "Hello, world!"
var item = menu.CreateItem();
item.Title = "First item";
item.Selected += (selectedItem) => { /* do something with selectedItem */ selectedItem.Menu.Close(); };
menu.Display();

That's all that's needed on the plugin side, then on the server side, if you unzip the release artifact CSSUniversalMenuAPI.Compat.All.zip unto your addons folder, along with SharpModMenu's release artifacts, that will allow existing plugins using MenuManagerCS2 based plugins alongside CSSUniversalMenuAPI native plugins. If your server is using only native plugins, then you can use the lighter CSSUniversalMenuAPI.zip release artifact instead.

I think recent CS2 updates may have broken SharpModMenu again, I'll take a look at it later today and fix it if that's the case, and I'll also add some samples plugins
