showimg on top of gui window

[sssssssssss]

Is there a way to put my images using showimg on top of the gui window? It keeps putting the gui first, which I know is what it's supposed to do. I just don't feel like rescripting these items to be guiimages, and would really prefer to keep them like they are if there is a fix to this. I tried putting layer values in the gui windows and showimages, but that didn't work.

There's no way to achieve this, no. You can use GuiShowImgCtrl, though. A GUI Control which in its core is the same as a regular TShowImg object.

It's just changing image numbers to gui names for the most part right? I think I just answered myself in that question, but eh.

No, GUI's fight for focus(not only render focus but input focus as well, like keyboard). You'll have to adjust them to make sure that they're being rendered appropriately and that they're not stealing input.

Any documentation on this? I've searched and never heard of it. :X

Maybe I'm better off asking why this doesn't work. :/ using showimg showed this up behind the gui. search_list isn't empty for sure.

PHP Code:

  for(temp.v = this.selected_num2; temp.v < this.selected_num2 + 91; temp.v ++) {
    //player.chat = search_list[temp.v];
    if (search_list[temp.v] != null ) {
    
      //showImg(200+temp.v, "armageddon-iconbox.gif", new_x_position + 3, new_y_position + 30);
      //findImg(200+temp.v).layer = 5;
      //findImg(200+temp.v).mode = 1;
      ("shadow"@temp.v) = new GuiShowImgCtrl();
      ("shadow"@temp.v).image = "armageddon_inventory-iconbox.gif";
      ("shadow"@temp.v).x = new_x_position + 3;
      ("shadow"@temp.v).y = new_y_position + 30;
      ("shadow"@temp.v).layer = 5;
      ("shadow"@temp.v).mode = 1;
      
      //showImg(600+temp.v, search_list[temp.v].image, new_x_position + 4, new_y_position + 5);
      //findImg(600+temp.v).layer = 6;
      //findImg(600+temp.v).mode = 1;
      ("weapon"@temp.v) = new GuiShowImgCtrl();
      ("weapon"@temp.v).image = search_list[temp.v].image;
      ("weapon"@temp.v).x = new_x_position + 4;
      ("weapon"@temp.v).y = new_y_position + 5;
      ("weapon"@temp.v).layer = 6;
      ("weapon"@temp.v).mode = 1;

Did you actually add those to a GUIControl or anything?

It's not like you have to.

Yes you do...

If you don't want it to be inside a GUI, just do

GraalControl.addcontrol(yourImage);

if you want it to be inside your GUI just use your GuiControl instead of the GraalControl

No you don't... if you don't nest them inside another GUI then they won't be a child of another GUI...

Maybe try something like this:

PHP Code:

new GuiShowImgCtrl("Arm_Inventory_IconBox_" @ temp.v) {
  x = new_x_position + 3;
  y = new_y_position + 30;
  image = "armageddon_inventory-iconbox.gif";
  mode = 1;
  new GuiShowImgCtrl("Arm_Inventory_IconBox_" @ temp.v @ "_Icon") {
    image = search_list[temp.v].image;
    x = 4; // Since it's a child of 'IconBox' it's x/y will be relative.
    y = 5; // It should also draw above the icon box as well.
    mode = 1;
  }
}

you guys are pretty ignorant aren't you? Just place the code I supplied inside some weapon and try it out, if you set a variable to a TShowImg object it will not be added to the GraalControl, you have to do it manually.

however, it might be some v5, v6 issue, I am running v6

some time in the past I had some code running somewhere that could predict the future

That's great! Thing is, as I said, I still have this code running in one of my testing WNPCs, and I've confirmed that it works just as well. So what the heck do you want anyway? This isn't exactly on topic anymore.

post the code that works?
