ShowImg Gani

[greggiles]

With the showImg(200+,,,) function, is there a way to show a Gani without having to create an NPC?

I'm trying to create an effect but I don't want to putNPC.

I'm trying to create an effect but I don't want to putNPC.

PHP Code:

showani(index, x, y, dir, ani, param1);
showani2(index, x, y, z, dir, ani, param1);

can you changeImgWidth()??
I need to stretch an Img with the showImg function

So for instance you could do:

PHP Code:

temp.block = this.showimg(200, "block.png", player.x, player.y - 5);
temp.block.stretchx = 2;

temp.bush = this.showimg(201, "bush.png", player.x - 5, player.y);
temp.bush.zoom = 0.5; //or this.changeimgzoom(201, 0.5); 


If you mean stretch a showani, you may need to edit temp.display.actor.stretchx, or possibly edit player.stretchx within the gani itself by opening the gani as a text file:

PHP Code:

SCRIPT
function onPlayerEnters(){
  player.stretchx = 2;
}
SCRIPTEND 


[greggiles]

temp.block = this.showimg(200, "block.png", player.x, player.y - 5);
temp.block.stretchx = 2;

temp.bush = this.showimg(201, "bush.png", player.x - 5, player.y);
temp.bush.zoom = 0.5; //or this.changeimgzoom(201, 0.5);

I may need to rephrase. I don't need stretching, but actually setting the width and height value.

You mean so that it's a blocking shape?
If so that can only be achieved from the NPC itself, and not a displayed image.

I finally figured out how to achieve my goal. I was making a sunlight effect and it looks really good.
But due to it being a Gui it doesn't let me click on the screen for MouseDown() functions I have on other scripts.

PHP Code:

   new GuiBitmapCtrl("SUN") {
    x = 0;
    y = 0;
    width = screenwidth;
    height = screenheight;
    bitmap = "age_sun.png";
    layer = 1;
  }

Try adding modal = true; within that GUI control bracket.

It's a profile var, so:

useownprofile = true;
profile.modal = true;

[greggiles]

This is what I got. And it doesn't wanna work :/

PHP Code:

   new GuiBitmapCtrl("LIGHT") {
    useownprofile = true;
    profile.modal = true;
    x = screenwidth-screenwidth/6;
    y = 0;
    width = screenwidth/6;
    height = screenheight/3;
    bitmap = <lightImg>;
    layer = 0;
  } 


I have a MouseDown() function that plays a sound every time I click. Works but when I click the top right which is where my GuiBitmap is. Which is how I know it's not working.

Post your full code. If your goal is for the object to not steal focus, then it should have profile.modal set to false, not true.
