Anchoring Knockoff.

[Mark Sir Link]

Trying to emulate the anchoring support I asked for.

It appears to be hitting the proper case in switch statement, yet does not set x and y accordingly.

Adding debug checks such as "player.chat = this.ANCHOR_TOP[0] - (GControl.width / 2);" give me the position I want, but the x/y always ends up being 0.

edit: also not complete, once I get this issue out of the way I'll add x-y offsets as well.

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
findplayer("mark sir link").addweapon(this.name);
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  this.ANCHOR_TOP = {screenwidth/2, 0}; //12 O'Clock
  this.ANCHOR_TOPRIGHT = {screenwidth, 0}; //between 1-2 O'Clock
  this.ANCHOR_RIGHT = {screenwidth, screenheight/2}; //3 O'Clock
  this.ANCHOR_BOTTOMRIGHT = {screenwidth, screenheight}; //between 4-5 O'Clock
  this.ANCHOR_BOTTOM = {screenwidth/2, screenheight}; //6 O'Clock
  this.ANCHOR_BOTTOMLEFT = {0, screenheight}; //between 7-8 O'Clock
  this.ANCHOR_LEFT = {0, screenheight/2}; //9 O'Clock
  this.ANCHOR_TOPLEFT = {0, 0}; //between 10-11 O'Clock
  
  this.ANCHORS = {ANCHOR_TOP, ANCHOR_TOPRIGHT, ANCHOR_RIGHT, ANCHOR_BOTTOMRIGHT, ANCHOR_BOTTOM, ANCHOR_BOTTOMLEFT, ANCHOR_LEFT, ANCHOR_TOPLEFT};  

  new GuiWindowCtrl("Test_Window") {
  profile = "GuiBlueWindowProfile";
  this.anchor = "TOP";
  width = 160;
  height = 80;
  text = "Window";
  canmove = true;
  editing = true;
  canclose = true;
  destroyonhide = true;
}
  anchorPosition(Test_Window);

}


function anchorPosition(GControl)
{
  with(GControl)
  {
    switch (this.anchor)
    {
    case "TOP":
      text = thiso.test;
      x = thiso.ANCHOR_TOP[0] - (width / 2);
      y = thiso.ANCHOR_TOP[1];
      break;
    case "TOPRIGHT":
      x = thiso.ANCHOR_TOPRIGHT[0] - width;
      y = thiso.ANCHOR_TOPRIGHT[1];
      break;
    case "RIGHT":
      x = thiso.ANCHOR_RIGHT[0] - width;
      y = thiso.ANCHOR_RIGHT[1] - (height / 2);
      break;
    case "BOTTOMRIGHT":
      x = thiso.ANCHOR_BOTTOMRIGHT[0] - width;
      y = thiso.ANCHOR_BOTTOMRIGHT[1] - height;
      break;
    case "BOTTOM":
      x = thiso.ANCHOR_BOTTOM[0] - (width / 2);
      y = thiso.ANCHOR_BOTTOM[1] - height;
      break;
    case "BOTTOMLEFT":
      x = thiso.ANCHOR_BOTTOMLEFT[0];
      y = thiso.ANCHOR_BOTTOMLEFT[1]; - height;
      break;
    case "LEFT":
      x = thiso.ANCHOR_LEFT[0];
      y = thiso.ANCHOR_LEFT[1] - (height / 2);
      break;
    case "TOPLEFT":
      x = thiso.ANCHOR_TOPLEFT[0];
      y = thiso.ANCHOR_TOPLEFT[1];
      break;
    default:
      x = 0;
      y = 0;
    }
  }
}

I fell through every case like a *****. Not scripting in awhile has taken it's toll.

I edited the code with the fixed version.

Just a comment on the code, you should either use const/enum, or not use the all-caps convention associated with constants when they aren't.

Although, const/enum can be problematic since they just replace the variables at compile-time, so if you do anything dynamic with them it'll fail.

An alternative route would be to use a TStaticVar:

PHP Code:

this.anchors = new TStaticVar();
this.anchors.top = {screenwidth/2, 0};
this.anchors.topRight = {screenwidth, 0}; 


Glad you got it working though.

Your anchors will need to update if the player re-sizes the window, so why bother with those this.anchor.var's at all.

The default needs a break too.
