This function is only used for dialogs which have background UAV tiles (See the in game pause menu for example), since this is only really found in official dialogs documentation on this function doesn't really exist.

To set up your own dialog for use with this function it's actually fairly simple. Use the below example as a framework:

//base classes class RscControlsGroup { class VScrollbar { color[] = {1,1,1,1}; width = 0.021; autoScrollEnabled = 1; colorActive[] = {1, 1, 1, 1}; colorDisabled[] = {1, 1, 1, 0.3}; thumb = "\A3\ui_f\data\gui\cfg\scrollbar\thumb_ca.paa";

You would then execute the dialog the normal way: createDialog "rscTileExample";
