How to show a picture of a rifle in a hint via parseText?

[ZeeSquared 10]

I can't for the life of me figure this out. I searched the forums via Google with:

site:forums.bistudio.com cfgweapons picture

Lots of good results came up, but I couldn't get either to work unfortunately.

What I'm trying to accomplish is putting an image of a rifle on a hint pop-up. The code I have so far is this:

hint parseText format ["<t align='center' color='#f39403' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000'>Rifle Image</t><br/><t align='center' color='#666666'>------------------------------</t><br/><br/><t align='center' color='#666c3f' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000'><img size='4' image='%1'/></t><br/><br/><t align='center' color='#ffcc33' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000'>This is a Rifle</t><br/><br/><t align='center' color='#ffffff' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000'>Did an image of a rifle pop-up?</t>", getText (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> "Rifle" >> M14_EP1 >> "picture")];

Everything shows up correctly with the exception of the image of the rifle.

Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance! :D

Didnt test, but Im pretty sure all the names need to be strings.

M14_EP1 -> "M14_EP1"

You rock, shk! You've helped me many times on here and I can't thank you enough. This did the trick:

getText (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> "M14_EP1" >> "picture")

The whole thing would look like this:

hint parseText format ["<t align='center' color='#f39403' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000'>Rifle Image</t><br/><t align='center' color='#666666'>------------------------------</t><br/><br/><t align='center' color='#666c3f' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000'><img size='4' image='%1'/></t><br/><br/><t align='center' color='#ffcc33' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000'>This is a Rifle</t><br/><br/><t align='center' color='#ffffff' shadow='1' shadowColor='#000000'>Did an image of a rifle pop-up?</t>", getText (configFile >> "cfgWeapons" >> "M14_EP1" >> "picture")];

I was not aware you can include a picture in a hint pop up?? Hmm

Any chance of posting an example mission for those who might be interested in doing something similar?

Thanks.
