Creating an image

[zwacka]

Is there any way for me to create an image on top of the ground using an icon or somthing? I'm having trouble.

 

[NO_exe]

yes, there is one

search for 'Create' in the action list, my world editor is german, but it inglish it's something like 'Image - Create an image using <your icon's path> of size 256.00 at (Center of (Playable map area)) with Z offset 0.00 using image type Indicator'

 

[zwacka]

when i do that nothing shows up

 

[NO_exe]

which path are you using?

 

[zwacka]

the default one

 

[NO_exe]

try 'ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAttack.blp'

or post your trigger, maybe you choosed the wrong area or you hace to change Z offset.

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Image - Create an image using ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAttack.blp of size 256.00 at (Center of (Playable map area)) with Z offset 0.00 using image type Indicator
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Image - Show (Last created image)

No.

After creating the image, you must

• Actions
  • Image - Change Always Render State - Enable Always Render State.

By default images are not rendered.

That trigger leaks a point by the way. Create a Point variable.
[TRIGGER=Fix it this way]
Set YourTempPointVariable = Center of (Playable map area)
Image - Create an image using ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAttack.blp of size 256.00 at YourTempPointVariable with Z offset 0.00 using image type Indicator
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_YourTempPointVariable)
[/TRIGGER]

The custom script must have capitals typed carefully, and udg_VariableName inside the parenthesis.

When I do that theres this ugly brown box around the image.

I never worked with images, but I think you cannot have Z offset by 0. Since Z is the height, the image will probably show up as a brown box, yeah.
