[JASS] Custom windows (not those with skins nor dialogs))

[crl]

Im just wondering, how do people make their own ui's or windows? Not dialogs nor custom skinned ones.

Im no expert but i think they sued custom models/skins to 'build' the UI with dodads and unit, Vuen's DnD did something like it, there's a map floating around here someware i think, and my maze maker map has it (way far frmo finished). Hope this helps!

PS: I can get you the map by e-mail stripped of msot triggers so as to give you a 'tutorial' on it, if you want.

Edit: JASS is not realy needed, but that;s if you not using some of the awsome UI's i've seen, just an 'ok' one that does the job

Images mostly.

Well, images are fairly annoying since the border has to be transparent so you can't use in-game icons and such.
Anyways, I use desrtuctables with a dummy model (like a square for windows). This way you can define what texture is associated with it in the OE. You can also take a look at this thread for reference.

Hope this helps.

Well, i CAN use icon from in-game, I have a map that uses it, a lost the roiginal that someone made but for the record this is not my idea but i forgot who did this, and the map is on my other comp so it'll be a while before i can get it to you should you need/want it, but is possible.

PS: @triggerhappy, thanks again for helping my set i=i+1 error

I use destructables + trackables + forced camera view.
