GuiWindowCtrl & ShowText

[projectigi]

Hi,

i tried the following:

I made a GuiWindowCtrl and made ShowText to display some text on it
well, now the problem is:
the window is actually over the text, so the text is "grayed out"(window is transparent )

any way to fix this?

I found this problem too, you need to use the new GuiTextCtrl/GuiMLTextCtrl.
Use the visible toggle if you need to display it after an action.

Showtext displays an image object on the graal level. if you want it in a gui, you need a gui object, as chandler stated.

yeye, i just think there should be a option to make imgobject > gui
or stefan should add a drawText to GuiDrawingPanel

It's used as the same... you can do anything you wanted to do with showtext//image// with GuiShowImgCtrl/GuiTextCtrl or GuiMLTextCtrl.

nope

you cant overwrite it by drawing another image of the same index
you cant just say hideimg and its gone

You don't know how to edit a gui? [Or name one...?]
You don't know how to destroy a gui profile?

You really need to learn about GS2 GUI Controls.

But if you edit the text/options/position of the object, it will be the same as overwriting.
To get rid of it you can either set visible to false or destroy it. (I recommend the former, especially if you want to use it again).

GuiShowImgCtrl works like a showimg/findimg, only showing/hidding, position and size are defined differently. But you can display everything that can be displayed with a showimg/findimg.

whoa....

how you get called "stupid" when you just ask for a way to make something without using own functions...

see, i'm just lazy, thats why i like using premade functions instead of making own functions

theyre pretty "premade", just use the "premade" function to destroy the gui object

[xXziroXx]

GUIOBJECT.destroy()

How hard can it be?

....
i know how to create/destroy gui controls, thanks.

for example:

a Server wants to show a Text on the Screen that tells you the current Area
like "Online Start Local" "Kokiri Town" etc
now it sucks if you have to make a own guicontrol for every text you ever want to display on the screen, because showtext has no function to make it appear over gui controls

You can do this with only one GuiShowImgCtrl easily (which can also reside within any other GuiControl):

Here's something simple...

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  if (LevelText != null) {
    LevelText.destroy();
  }
  new GuiShowImgCtrl(LevelText) {
    x = y = 100;
    text = player.level.name;
  }
}

function onPlayerEnters() {
  LevelText.text = player.level.name;
}

GuiMLTextCtrl.

showimg() basically just does this:

NPC Code:

---

function showimg(ti, tf, tx, ty) {

  new TShowimg("showimg" @ ti) {

    x = tx;

    y = ty;

    image = tf;

  }

}
