img layers

[billybob53]

Just wondering.... How do you make one image show over another?

I am making a custom Status bar and the Status image shows over the HP so u can't see it.

How do i change the layering? please help.

This has been posted before, but just to benefit you:

if you are using showimg's, then a showimg with an index of 201 will show over an index of 200.

Also, you can change the image layer.

changeimgvis index,layer;

eg

//#CLIENTSIDE
if (playerenters || timeout){
showimg 200,your_hp_bar.gif,100,100;
changeimgvis 200,4;
timeout = .05;
}

note: 4 draws on the players screen.
1 = same layer as player.
2 = layer over player
4 = on stats bar. co - ordinates change to screen co ordinates.

therefore, u can use this:

//#CLIENTSIDE
if (playerenters || timeout){
showimg 200,your_hp_bar.gif,screenwidth/2,screenheight/2;
changeimgvis 200,4;
timeout = .05;
}


* was an example *


P.S if you have multiple 'showimg'' and want all of them to have a layer of 4, i suggest using a for loop (saves work)

instead of

changeimgvis 200,4;
changeimgvis 201,4;
changeimgvis 202,4;
changeimgvis 203,4;

use:

for (i=0;i<=203;i++) changeimgvis i,4;

oh.... ok, but now theres another problem...

NPC Code:

---

changeimgpart 402,0,0,int(playermp),25;

  showimg 402,mptest.gif,screenwidth-550,screenheight-400;

---

The problem with that is it doesn't get lower in terms with the player's MP.

(note: the full image X is 200)

Please help..

I think you are using something like

if (playerenters){
do all this stuff;
}

well that only occurs once, you need to have a timeout loop to keep checking the players mp

example:

//#CLIENTSIDE
if (playerenters || timeout){
changeimgpart 402,0,0,int(playermp),25; //<your script\/
showimg 402,mptest.gif,screenwidth-550,screenheight-400;
timeout = .1;
}

i used int(playermp) as the x value, and the full img X=200.

But when the playerMP equals 0 it is still visible by like 25%....

Whats the equation for a X=200 img to equal the Player MP?

No. It is only sorted by layer, z, y, and x. (In that order).
But you can even use layers above 4 to make sure a certain image is displayed over an other. *still waiting for the possibility to attach images to each other*
