Can't get Item GetHoverSprite to work
« on: October 08, 2011, 02:24:37 PM »

Hi all

In Items.items I have:
ITEM
{
   CURSOR_COMBINED = TRUE
   CAPTION = "/INV_GARLIC/"
   NAME = "GarlicBulb"
   IMAGE = "items\Graphics\Plain\Garlic48.png"
   CURSOR = "items\Graphics\Plain\Garlic48.png"
   CURSOR_HOVER = "items\Graphics\Highlighted\Garlic64.png"
   SCRIPT = "items\Scripts\GarlicBulb.script"
}

Later I try to query this and grab its image to display in a window, thus:
var ItsName = InvObject.Monicker;
var Itself = Game.QueryItem(ItsName);
var ItsPicture = Itself.GetHoverSprite();
ObjX.SetImage(ItsPicture);
CaptionBox.Text = Itself.Caption;

The caption works, so I know the QueryItem's doing its thing, but the GetHoverSprite returns null. If I change it to GetSprite, it gets the image just fine, so the syntax is OK. Game.SmartItemCursor is set to true.

Anybody know why GetSprite works but GetHoverSprite doesn't?

Thanks

Because you're not setting the hover sprite, only the mouse pointer (=cursor). You need to add something like this:

SPRITE_HOVER = "items\hover_image.png"
