i created a window for displaying some textinfos .... and i declared this.Scalable = true;
but if i change this.Scale or this.ScaleX to any value nothing happens.
this.Alphacolour is reacting like it should. . ...


Any Idea ??

Windows (and all the other GUI controls) use Width and Height attributes instead. But remember you have to use a "tiled image" as a background if you want to resize them (see the docs for more details on tiled images).

thanks for another quick answer.

as usual another question ...

i have a scene with about 100 entities all with a script.
most of them are inactive for most of the time but the scripts still keep running.
is there a way to stop the scripts of the inactive entities ??

The scripts are not running. The debug information can be a little disiorented. The ACTUAL running scripts are the "r:x" inside the (). The first number you are seeing is how many scripts are attached to various objects in the scene or the scene itself.

[Stucki]

thanks for explaning. but the scripts are actual running even the entities are inactive.
they are not activated in the scene.editor - that means they are inactive ?!??
how can i stop  them from running ....

 i want them to start when another script sets  entitiy.active = true;

[Stucki]

nobody any ideas ?!?

[Mnemonic]

You would have to handle it yourself. For example only attaching the scripts to these entites when you activate them, or having something like this in the begining of the script:

// let the script sleep until its owner object becomes active
while(!this.Active) Sleep(500);

[Stucki]

yes, now i see ...... this should help me....

thanks again,
sorry bothering you with all these stupid questions. I hope the result proofs its worth ...

No problem with asking, that's what this forum is here for

back to my first problem.

there is a window i created for displaying information text.
the background of this window is a rendered checkboard.
i want the checkboard to appear tile by tile. (scale in and fade in).
is it possible to have sprites in a window. how can i adress them. Scene.GetNode will not work because its no scene....

any hints ....

You can have either static controls or buttons on a window. Both of them can be made out of sprites. You reference a contol using this.GetControl("control_name");

i am trying but no sucsess ...

heres my window file:

WINDOW
{
  NAME = "info"
  SCRIPT = "interface\menu\willkommen.script"
  MENU = TRUE

  BUTTON
  {
    NAME = "blatt"
    X = -625      
    Y = -475
    IMAGE ="interface\menu\blatt_willkommen.png"
    PARENT_NOTIFY = TRUE
  } 
BUTTON
  {
    NAME = "t1"
    X = -625      
    Y = -475
    IMAGE ="interface\menu\tile_1.png"
    PARENT_NOTIFY = TRUE
  } 

}
and here is the script;

#include "scripts\base.inc"
#include "scripts\keys.inc"

self.xResult = false;

var Button = this.GetControl("t1");
Button.Scalable = true;
Button.AlphaColor = RGB(255,255,255,0);
Button.Scale =0;
for ( var z = 1; z<=255; z=z+5)
{
   Button.AlphaColor = RGB(255,255,255,z);
   Button.Scale =z/2.55;
   Sleep (50);
}

i want the button "t1" to zoom and fade in , but it is always there at 100% nothings changing ...

any ideas ??

The problem is buttons do not support the AlphaColor attribute. Only entire windows do. You could probably prepare a fade-in animation in SpriteEdit, by setting different opacity to frames.

[Stucki]

are there any objects inside a window that can be scaled and faded ....

Well, you could use entity containers... It's an overkill, but it should work.
