Hi all,
       I have created a menu with options on it like, TAKE, EXAMINE etc. (in a graphic form)
When the player selects these options i want an animation to play. Like the image to glow or spin etc.


Also In the Inventory screen can I have an animated sprite on that too, displays when player moves mouse to top of screen.

Any code or advice would be welcome.


Many thanks

The menu will be created as window, and the options should be buttons on the window. Then you can define a "hover image" for the button, which is displayed when the mouse pointer is over it the button. This image doesn't have to be a static picture, you can use an animated .sprite file as well.

For example, check the menu in WME demo (interface\menu\menu.window), it uses the IMAGE_HOVER attribute in exactly the same way you want to achieve, only it uses static BMP's. In your case, you will use sprites to animate the hover effect.

Great thanks a lot, thought you could only use static images.

The same foes for the Inventory i take it.

Yes, basically wherever you can use static images, you can also use animated sprites.
