no body will show

[Angel_Light]

I have a simple custom char showing script (this.actor.blah) it works fine but when I use stretchx or change the alpha/mode it hides the body but the head/shield and shadow are still showing. Why is this?

PHP Code:

with( findImg( 10))
  {
  
    this.x = player.x + 2.5;
    this.y = player.y;
    
    layer = 1;
    
    playerlook = false;
    
    this.ani = "idle";
    this.actor.mode  = 
    this.actor.red =
    this.actor.green =
    this.actor.blue = 1;
    this.actor.alpha = 0.5;
  
    this.actor.head = "head0.png";
    this.actor.body = "body.png";
    this.actor.shield = "shield1.png";
    
    this.actor.colors[ 0] = "orange";
    this.actor.colors[ 1] = "white";
    this.actor.colors[ 2] = "blue";
    this.actor.colors[ 3] = "red";
    this.actor.colors[ 4] = "black";
    
  }

showcharacter();?

I have this problem a lot... no idea how to fix it. Showcharacter is used for setting an NPC as a character, won't help here.
Also, not sure of your intentions, but remember showimgs with an index lower than 200 will be shown to everyone.

[Angel_Light]

nope, and yes Dusty I know. =P

May not help in your case, but if you can I would use a GuiShowImgCtrl.

Use setcharani() rather than setting this.ani.

shouldn't really matter, According the Invern I guess, this.ani is the correct wayand setcharani() is just there for compatibility with GS1.

PHP Code:

this.actor.ani = "idle";
this.actor.dir = 2; 


?

[Angel_Light]

no this.actor.ani is not a valid var, just use getvarnames() to get the vars. =P

then I would suggest you to do what Chris said:

PHP Code:

new GuiShowImgCtrl("test_actor") {
  x = 10;
  y = 10;
  width = 60;
  height = 60;
  layer = 1;
  playerlook = false;
  // start actor
  ani = "idle";
  actor.headimg = "head.png";
  actor.bodyimg = "body.png";
  actor.shieldimg = "no-shield.png";
  temp.i = 0;
  for(temp.color : {"orange", "white", "blue", "red", "black"}) {
    actor.colors[i] = color;
    i ++;
  }
} 


Oh, and:

PHP Code:

sword  -> player.swordimg
shield -> player.shieldimg
head   -> player.headimg
Body   -> player.bodyimg
