sprite covering the whole screen

[rulk]

I'm not sure of I've missed it in the docs, but how do I get a sprite to cover the entire screen.

Code Select Expand

// works but does not cover the entire display
Logo <- GUISprite( "squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen( 100, 100 ) );

Code Select Expand

Logo <- GUISprite( "squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen( GUI.GetScreenSize().X, GUI.GetScreenSize().Y ) );

[rulk]

that dosn't work for me, is that how we do it ?

[DizzasTeR]

Code Select Expand

sX <- GUI.GetScreenSize().X;
sY <- GUI.GetScreenSize().Y; // Add on top.

Logo <- GUISprite( "squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen( 0, 0) );
Logo.Size = VectorScreen( sX, sY );

worked a charm, thanks

Because the second parameter is the position. And you set the position as the screen dimension then the sprite will be positioned after the lower right corner of the screen. Therefore, it doesn't appear on screen.

First you create it on position 0,0:

Code Select Expand

Logo <- GUISprite("squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen(0, 0));
Then you set the total size of the sprite equal to the screen size:

Code Select Expand

Logo.Size = GUI.GetScreenSize();
If you want to scale the image as well:

Code Select Expand

Logo.TextureSize = GUI.GetScreenSize();

EDIT: Sorry, it seems a similar post was made while I was posting this.

I preffer S.L.C's version but dooms works perfect.

Anyhow, I am having trouble removing the GUISprite now. I'm getting

AN ERROR HAS OCCURED [trying to set 'class']

what am I doing wrong ?

You'll find some decent insight in this discussion. Basically, you have to prefix your global variables/functions with :: all the time.

When you create it:

Code Select Expand

::Logo <- GUISprite("squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen(0, 0));
And when you use it:

Code Select Expand

::Logo = null;
Otherwise it's created as a member of the class in which it was executed. Take the following example:

Code Select Expand

function Script::ScriptLoad()
{
    Logo <- GUISprite("squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen(0, 0));
}
Do you think that's created in the root table? Think again:

Code Select Expand

function Script::ScriptLoad()
{
    Logo <- GUISprite("squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen(0, 0));
    print(getroottable().rawin("Logo")); // false
}
It's actually created as a member of the Script class.

Code Select Expand

function Script::ScriptLoad()
{
    Logo <- GUISprite("squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen(0, 0));
    print(Script.rawin("Logo")); // true
}
Therefore you have to use:

Code Select Expand

Script.Logo = null
Whenever you wish to access that variable. Unless, you prefixed it with :: when you created it and every time you used it after that.


Ask @maxorator , he knows more about this.

I'd consider it poor convention to declare a global variable from inside a function anyway. You should be declaring your global variables at the top of the script and then referencing them.

Code Select Expand

Logo <- null;
function Script::ScriptLoad()
{
    Logo = GUISprite("squirrel_logo.jpg", VectorScreen(0, 0));
}

This works as expected and is unambiguous.

and what about textdraws?

what about searching a bit?

That topic has every function listed.

sry sir but i cant still .....can u plzz just give me the exact code if possible?

Spreading hands, calling members 'Sir' and saying 'plzz' won't give you anything.
