How can I move the panel under the items?

[Smeto]

I try to move the items, but the panel stays in place. I have not found a way to access it to move it to the right.

The visual slots are part of the background textures, and they are not directly accessable by map script/triggers, unnamed children of "ConsoleUI", or "ConsoleTopBar" & "ConsoleBottomBar" in Warcraft 3 V2.0. As written in the file ui\framedef\ui\ConsoleUI.fdf

The inventory visuals are mostly in ConsoleTexture03, but a small part is inside ConsoleTexture02

Tasyen, did I understand correctly that I can't interact with this panel via script? So, to move the inventory, I need to edit the fdf file?

The visual inventory is included in the background console textures, each melee race has one,
ui\console\human\humanuitile03.
ui\console\orc\orcuitile03
look at a ui skin texture like Fallout UI [Reforged] SD uitile03 has the inventory and the command card together.
You could edit the background image and import it into the map than move the inventory origin buttons to the right spot.

Trigger wise there is no direct access to that background texture, only indirect over its anchor points/relative position. moving the anchored would move all of the bottom right also the command bar, looks like you dont want that.

Or maybe you could do something with fdf. you could change size and dont display the inventory and add another texture that is only the inventory background. by changing the mention ui\framedef\ui\ConsoleUI.fdf (not sure if your version of warcraft 3 accepts changes to it as a map import)

TexCoord is the fdf action to only use a part of an image in rect form
.
Maybe my resource CustomConsoleUI helps you, it instructs to hide the default background over game interface and then provides a custom fdf which you could change, if your warcraft 3 version does not allow changes to ConsoleUI.fdf directly.

ve added a texture on top of the standard inventory (Frame), but I’m running into a new issue. I can’t make the inventory slots appear above the texture frame—the items stay underneath it. However, when I set the frame level of the texture using:

text

call BlzFrameSetLevel(IconImage[index], -2) 
call BlzFrameSetLevel(IconButton[index], -2)

*it goes completely behind the panel and becomes invisible.

So my question is: how can I bring the standard inventory slots (InventoryButton_0 - 5) to the front?

My version of Warcraft 2.0.2

Render/Layer order in warcraft 3 frames is done by parentship/layermaster(simpletop). And inside one layer the (simple)frames are reordered by set level.
the children of a frame or the simpleframes managed by a simpletop(layermaster) are above the parent layermaster but lower than the higher brother of the parent
these item buttons belong to simpleframes and are inside the simpletop that manages the "ConsoleUI" layer.


you could use some other parent, not BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_GAME_UI, 0).
try Parent of ORIGIN_FRAME_PORTRAIT
"ConsoleUIBackdrop",0
Minimap or parent of minimap.
Maybone one of them has the right render level.

If that does not work well you could make simpleframes to display they wanted images, that would allow you to put them inside the layer of the buttons and fine tune the order.
One can make a simpleframe image by code only with simplestatusbar.

icon = BlzCreateFrameByType("SIMPLESTATUSBAR", "name", BlzGetFrameByName("ConsoleUI",0), "", 0)
BlzFrameSetValue(icon, 100)
BlzFrameClearAllPoints(icon)
BlzFrameSetTexture(icon, BlzGetAbilityIcon(FourCC'Hpal'), 0, false)
BlzFrameSetAbsPoint(icon, FRAMEPOINT_TOPLEFT, 0.4, 0.4)
BlzFrameSetSize(icon, 0.03, 0.03)

in V2.0 "ConsoleBottomBar" is probably a smarter parent here.
