Post your CUSTOM UI

[bboy-tiger-]

Guyz, does that menu down has to be on the middle or ?

 

[Bu113t]

Well in the triggers you can place them anywhere you want.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Ok then, thank you. I appreciate helping .

 

[Robbepop]

hiho,

today i updated the ability window for my RPG.
i think it is now much better and more noob-friendly.^^

could someone please guide me abit to make a actionbar like some of you have?

+rep..

 

[Kingz]

This should help with dialogs:

As for the action bar, it is only several buttons in a dialog, nothing special.

Just spend an hour messing around with dialog triggers and its pretty easy. When i first started i kept trying to use UI triggers lol.

 

[Zoizite]

There's some pretty damn impressive stuff in this thread. =)

I'm working on recreating the battle system from Grandia 2. Everything here is done with dialogs and a bit of photoshop. I've still got a ways to go. The boss bars at the top are temporary placeholders until I get something custom up there.

hiho,

i just improved my custom UI again.
well, it is still not nearly finished. T.t

Probably will be posting a screenshot of the custom UI of my orpg in the weekend, so look out for it Or maybe even sooner...

Hello, an update on my UI I was experimenting with custom actions. So to make a minimap like mine, you simply create a new action, it's called "Dialog_MakeMinimap". As parameters, you just specify a newly created dialog, it can have any size, then a unit and a few parameters regarding if it should be static or follow a unit. If it follows, you can set how much zoomed-in it shall be, and if an arrow to indicate the facing angel should be created. All this works with a single action, the code is just below; The big map works pretty much the same way.

Minimap code

• MakeMinimap
  • Options: Action, Create Thread
  • Return Type: (None)
  • Parameters
    • Dialog = No Dialog <Dialog>
    • MinimapImage = No File <File - Image>
    • IsFollowingDialog = false <Boolean>
    • CreateFacingArrow = false <Boolean>
    • FollowingUnit = No Unit <Unit>
    • ZoomFactor = 2.0 <Real>
  • Grammar Text: MakeMinimap(Dialog, MinimapImage, IsFollowingDialog, CreateFacingArrow, FollowingUnit, ZoomFactor)
  • Hint Text: (None)
  • Custom Script Code
  • Local Variables
    • FollowingMinimap = No Dialog Item <Dialog Item>
    • FacingArrow = No Dialog Item <Dialog Item>
  • Actions
    • General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
      • If
        • IsFollowingDialog == true
      • Then
        • Dialog - Create an Image for Dialog Dialog with the dimensions ((Integer(((Real((Dialog width))) * ZoomFactor))), (Integer(((Real((Dialog height))) * ZoomFactor)))) anchored to Top Left with an offset of (0, 0) setting the tooltip to "" using the image MinimapImage as a Normal type with tiled set to false tint color White and blend mode Normal
        • Variable - Set FollowingMinimap = (Last created dialog item)
        • General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
          • If
            • CreateFacingArrow == true
          • Then
            • Dialog - Create an Image for Dialog Dialog with the dimensions (0, 0) anchored to Center with an offset of (0, 0) setting the tooltip to "" using the image Assets\Textures\ui_techtree_arrow_head2.dds as a Normal type with tiled set to false tint color White and blend mode Normal
            • Variable - Set FacingArrow = (Last created dialog item)
          • Else
        • General - Repeat (Actions) forever
          • Actions
            • Dialog - Move FollowingMinimap to ((Integer(((Real(((Width of FollowingMinimap for (Owner of FollowingUnit)) / 2))) - (((X of (Position of FollowingUnit)) / (Width of (Entire map))) * (Real((Width of FollowingMinimap for (Owner of FollowingUnit)))))))), (Integer(((Real((0 - ((Height of FollowingMinimap for (Owner of FollowingUnit)) / 2)))) + (((Y of (Position of FollowingUnit)) / (Height of (Entire map))) * (Real((Height of FollowingMinimap for (Owner of FollowingUnit))))))))) relative to Center of dialog for (Player group((Owner of FollowingUnit)))
            • General - If (Conditions) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
              • If
                • CreateFacingArrow == true
              • Then
                • Dialog - Set FacingArrow rotation to (Integer((270.0 - (Facing of FollowingUnit)))) for (Player group((Owner of FollowingUnit)))
              • Else
            • General - Wait 0.01 Real Time seconds
      • Else
        • Dialog - Create an Image for Dialog Dialog with the dimensions ((Dialog width), (Dialog height)) anchored to Top Left with an offset of (0, 0) setting the tooltip to "" using the image MinimapImage as a Normal type with tiled set to false tint color White and blend mode Normal

It can be imported into any map, just specify a minimap image, or simply use the default, I use one in 1024x1024, at about 700kb.

Everything on that screen is working
And yes those images are ripped off the original Starcraft Ghost game screenshots. I do plan to redo them completely in the future to increase their quality as you can probably see how blurry they are.

Have you found a projectile system that works?

People actually use my guide to create stuff now? Thats nice

I guess i will post updates of my own UI here later. But i have only been doing some coding stuff the last few days so i do not have much to show.

I have some plans for my UI right now, and i will probably start with it sometime tommorow.

 

[RaiN.]

Have you found a projectile system that works?

No. Because of that I dont use a projectile system. I just use a traceline created from the cameras position and height going to the yaw and pitch of the camera searching for something to pick. It works really good. The traceline function can be found here:
Traceline by rrowland

I would love to post a video but sadly im with a temp video card that barely plays sc2 so if i try to record a video my pc will prob shit brix.

 

[mrzwach]

That traceline function saddens me with inefficiency.

 

[tagg1080]

That traceline function saddens me with inefficiency.

A lot of stuff done in video games are horribly inefficient, we just try to make them as efficient as we can.

It is a solution, and he did post it to the web, so ++ to him.

 

[Hiruty]

lol Traceline is the most effeicnt system and lagless system ive seen in mass dun diss it. It is also extremly easy to modify it ect

 

[mrzwach]

I probably should tell the guy this directly, but too lazy to create an account.

But anyways, I'll just say it here, as it is significantly more efficient and accurate.

First, we know that the equation for a circle is (x-x1)^2 + (y-y1)^2 = r^2. The center of this circle would be (x1, y1).

Second, we can say that the equation for our awesome line is Ax-By = 0. This is because we will have the origin at the position of the unit for the sake of simplicity.

Now, we need to find all the possible units which we will check. Rather than doing the entire map, we can just have a unitgroup which is all units in a circle region with a radius of (maxrange)/2 centered (maxrange)/2 units in the direction we are facing. Then, for each of the potential targets, we will check to see if the equation for our line intersects a circle centered on the position of the target. If it doesn't, then we remove it from the potential unitpool.

Once we have checked all the units, we may have more than one unit that can work. To fix this, we pick each unit and check its distance from the origin. The unit with the least distance is your target.

lol Traceline is the most effeicnt system and lagless system ive seen in mass dun diss it. It is also extremly easy to modify it ect

Lagless with a single player with no latency. What about 12 players?

Also, don't call anything that loops 50 times efficient.

EDIT: My bad, it actually runs 100 times (lol).

Additionally it requires the game to recalculate sin/cos/tan values each interval instead of just calculating them once then saving them to a variable.

 

[Hiruty]

it will only loop 100 times if you dont hit your target and with 120kb+ connections it wont be a probleme if we only have 100ms ect

 

[mrzwach]

Are we supposed to code our maps with the intention of making them as inefficient as possible then expect people to have good enough connections to make up for our poor coding?

 

[Hiruty]

IDC this is to post our custom UI make your own thread if you wanna talk about dis

[RaiN.]

All those HUDs with the blizzard assets are starting to get boring. People need to show creativity and start texturing their HUDs...

 

[Ghost765]

not everyones got the resources to do that. its always cool to use what u have and see what intresting things you get.

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

thats just lazyness...
if mankind wouldnt havetried to push it and push it and push it we wouldnt be communicating like this today!
you really shouldnt just settle on what u have!

i think retexturing your ui is worth the effort, because this is what connects you and the environment your character is in! i repped the first dude i saw who retextured his

Though i think that these days the pushing shouldnt go into the artistical direction, but firstly into the programming one...
whats a good looking ui that doesnt make any sense?

How do you get the buttons to have the images in them, likes ones from the command card? I've tried Dialog Item Image and all the Image Types and Render types.

You just put another dialog object on top of the button?
You can not put an image in a image with a trigger, but you can put a image ontop of another image
