Clicking images

[DevilDuke1995]

How do you do something when an image is clicked(for an inventory system or something)?

You use an event that catches the action.

there no such event is there?

First of all, you need to define what you mean by "image".

Theres a whole category about Images Maker and anyway i dont think this con be done in gui

Sorry, but there is no event for detecting the clicking of an image. The image API is very weird. The closest thing that you have to detecting clicks are trackables. Sadly, those can't be destroyed. Next to that are units, but they don't have hover events and the methods to detect selections and everything are a little inefficient.

Well what i think, the picture is 'showed' and a trigger creates a 'dummy unit' on the places where the player should click (also removing the selection circle around the unit) and using this Event =

• Player - Player X (Color) Selects a unit

Devil, just place the images as buildings And tthere we are XD

Unit detection is amazing slow. Selection events tend to be very delayed, use trackables. For an inventory, it's not important to destroy them.

If I knew what trackables were i wouldnt post this thread.
What are they?

A type like units, strings... just a normal Blizz variable type
Trackables are 2D "pictures" then can be set on the ground. Then, there are events for "hovering" over a trackable or clicking them.

Gonna test later then. So many types exist...

Hmm... Devil, if you want to make an inventory system with multiboard by that, forget it right now And start looking for a one with keyboard(arrows) controlled one There are plenty of them

Who said anything about multiboards???

Im creating my own with trackables cause reading and understanding existing ones is a hell of a task.

And arrows delay in B.net which i dont use cause Garena is far better.

BUMPING

So ive gotta place images or doodads below trackables?

Images are a lot harder because you would have to modify them to have transparent borders or else odd things appear in-game.
This method would also make your maps filesize suffer.

I suggest using destructables + trackables.
