Change Image in gui

[sssssssssss]

If i have a script with imgctrl in it:

PHP Code:

    new GuiShowImgCtrl("Stan_Window_Image" @ this.guildflag) { 
      x = 12; 
      y = 50; 
      width = 150; 
      height = 150; 
      image = this.guildflag; 
    } 


And I need to change that image later, how would I go about it?

I tried doing a triggerserver on created, then get the image from dbnpc, then triggerclient, and set the this.gulidflag clientside, but that isnt working.
Also, on a whim, tried gui.setImage(this.guildflag), but I guess thats not a way to do it, kinda like setText.

You can change it like any other variable of an object

PHP Code:

MyImage.image = "block.png";
Stan_Window_Image_0.image = "block.png"; 


if it's a dynamic name, you can do

PHP Code:

(@ "Stan_Window_Image" @ this.guildFlag).image = "block.png"; 


However, you shouldn't be placing the image name in the GUI control's name. Instead, try appending numbers (_0, _1, etc)

[sssssssssss]

Ill post the code its using in pieces. I tried some of those, they didnt work.
The gui weapon:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  this.db = findnpc("db_registeredguilds");
}

function onActionServerSide(action, acton) {
  if (temp.action == "getImage"){
    triggerclient("weapon", this.name, "getFlag", this.db.getGuildFlag());
  }
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionClientSide(cmd, data, data2) {
  if (cmd == "getFlag"){
    Stan_Window_Image_.image = temp.data;  
    this.guildflag = temp.data;
    player.chat = temp.data;
  }
}
function onCreated(){
  triggerserver("weapon", this.name, "getImage");
}
new GuiWindowCtrl("Stan_Window") {
    profile = "GuiBlueWindowProfile";
    useOwnProfile = true; 
    extent = "495 300";
    x = 50;
    y = 50;
    text = "Guild Registration Lobby";
    visible = true;
    canResize = false;
    new GuiShowImgCtrl("Stan_Window_Image") { 
      x = 12; 
      y = 50; 
      width = 150; 
      height = 150; 
      image = ""; 
    } 
} 


PHP Code:

DBNPC
public function getGuildFlag() {
  return this.guilds.(@player.guild).flag;
} 


the flag is

PHP Code:

guilds.guildname.flag="block.png" 


also tried the flag w/o quotes.

in the set for the image on the action clientside ive tried:
setImage,
setImg,
and using a variable then putting the variable in the gui image = section.
With the code that is posted, all that shows up is a big "0" (zero) when I use

PHP Code:

this.guildflag 


if i use it blank as shown, it shows up nothing.
i put player.chat and its saying "block.png" when i use so I know it shouldnt be empty, its just not setting.

If im doing this completely wrong, can someone show an example and please explain how it works? really wish graal.net worked. :/

      width = 150; 
      height = 150; 
      image = ""; 
    } 
} 


No need for the DBNPC code using this.
Also make sure object names match; you had a "_" at the end of "Stan_Window_Image" in the clientside trigger.

Removed that, and of coarse its still not working. I do need to use the dbnpc for this, because every guild will be able to upload a flag, and that is what Im trying to show up, so the image will be different depending on what guild you are in, being stored in the dbnpc. It also needs to find the dbnpc, which is why the this.db.whatever is in there, everything else searching through the dbnpc to pull up values works except this particular thing.

any ideas on how to fix?

If I'm not mistaken, a DBNPC doesn't read the player object, unless using findPlayer(), except in the Control-NPC.

You are mistaken. An NPC can definitely "read" the player object, but only if it's in scope. Some events there will be no 'player' object because no player triggered them.

[sssssssssss]

It shouldnt need findplayer() or anything, all the other functions bring up the attributes just fine working the way I've shown.

Also like I said, when I use player.chat on the action clientside, it shows the block.png text that is set in the flags on the dbnpc, just not showing the image in the gui for some reason.

[cbk1994]

I don't think you have a clear grasp of the way objects work.

PHP Code:

temp.obj = new TStaticVar();

obj.test = "foo";
echo(obj.test); // echoes foo

obj.test = 1;
echo(obj.test); // echoes 1

obj.destroy(); // destroys the object 


You can also do it with global names

PHP Code:

temp.obj = new TStaticVar("MyObject");

MyObject.test = "foo";
echo(MyObject.test); // echoes foo 


The same works for GUI controls

PHP Code:

new GuiShowImgCtrl("MyGuiImage") {
  image = "block.png";
  
  x = 32;
  y = 64;
  
  width = 32;
  height = 32;
} 


then in another script you can call

PHP Code:

MyGuiImage.image = "bcalarmclock.png";
MyGuiImage.x = 16; 


or change any other variables, as long as you know the object name; you can also use dynamic object names:

PHP Code:

for (temp.i = 0; i < 5; i ++) { // make 5 images
  new GuiShowImgCtrl("MyGuiImage_" @ i) {
    image = "block.png";
    
    x = 32 + (i * 33);
    y = 64;
    
    width = 32;
    height = 32;
  }
} 


then you could do something like this:

PHP Code:

MyGuiImage_0.image = "bcalarmclock.png"; 


which would change only the first image's image. If you wanted to change all the images, you could do:

PHP Code:

for (temp.i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {
  (@ "MyGuiImage_" @ i).image = "bcalarmclock.png";
} 


However, in your case, I don't think you will need to use dynamic objects. I think you mistakenly used them in your initial post, though I could be wrong.

PHP Code:

public function getGuildFlag() {
  return this.guilds.(@player.guild).flag;

the flag is

PHP Code:

guilds.guildname.flag="block.png" 


also tried the flag w/o quotes.

in the set for the image on the action clientside ive tried:
setImage,
setImg,
and using a variable then putting the variable in the gui image = section.

If im doing this completely wrong, can someone show an example and please explain how it works? really wish graal.net worked. :/

So what am I missing, or not understanding? I obviously have

PHP Code:

    Stan_Window_Image.image = temp.data; 


in there after retrieving it, and player.chat set to check its there. The player.chat says the flag, but no image shows, even with

PHP Code:

    Stan_Window_Image.image = temp.data;

Different question, same topic.
Is there a way to use something like changeimgpart on a gui image like above?

Tried the variables partx, party, parth and partw? :- )

Ok, now back to the original reason for this topic. It's a large amount of code, but im going to post it all, except some unnecessary text. I'm not the best, obviously, so please, dont comment on my messyness, I already know, and I know a ton of stuff in unnecessary. The player.chat = temp.data2[7] says the right thing, but the image still wont set.

PHP Code:

That was probably a bit too much to post. sorry. Its the showimg control towards the end of the gui setup. It sends serverside, grabs it, sends clientside, and shows up in the second clientside command, the player.chat says what it should, but it doesnt set in the gui. I used this command in a few other gui's and it worked find, so wondering what is wrong.

Still no idea why its not working. Tried many different things and have went through the wiki numerous times.
