It is mate....

Although the script is very much a work in progress right now...

Once I have finished it, I'll hand it out..

Hello

It's a dialog or it's an object in the inventory ?

I want to add a pip in a dialog to see in realtime a little preview of the selected object in a dialog combo.

Thanks

Actually it's very simple ;)

- Create your dialog as usual

- make sure the viewarea is a RscPicture with:

text = "#(argb,256,256,1)r2t(rendertarget0,1.0);"

- handle the PiP feed and send it to the display

- result: feed in display :D

Is it possible to have multiple pip feeds showing in a dialog at the same time?

It is, you'll just have to use different rendertargets or they'll all display the same feed.

Also, try to avoid "rendertarget0" as that is frequently used in vehicles.

I was trying to get a camera feed projected on an object (like here) but with no success. I managed to change a texture of an object using a .paa file, but not with procedural r2t option. I only get a black object. Any hints for me?

I have this code, activated by a radio trigger:

showcam = {
   _pos = getMarkerPos "camarker";
   _pos set [2, 5];
   _pos2 = getMarkerPos "ctgt";
   _pos2 set [2, 1];

   _kam = "camera" camCreate _pos;
   _kam camPrepareTarget _pos2;
   _kam camCommitPrepared 0;



   //this works: - I can see the camera feed when I use the radio menu
   //_kam cameraEffect ["INTERNAL", "BACK"];

   //this makes the object black:
   _kam cameraEffect ["INTERNAL", "BACK", "rendertarget5"];
   obejctOnMap setObjectTexture [1, "#(argb,256,128,1)r2t(rendertarget5,1.0)"];  



        this was just a test:
   //obejctOnMap setobjecttexture [1,"logo.paa"];


};

Maybe that is the issue:

obejctOnMap ---> objectOnMap

Unless you made the same typo when you named that object.

Also, the texture has to be square.

Use 256x256

I've translated the varnames from Serbian, hence the typo :) Tried with square textures, same result.

EDIT>

Retarded. Had PiP off in the video settings. Spent days trying to figure this out.

Now, do we have any object in A3 that I could use as a screen?

yeah, "rendertarget0" is the gunner and "rendertarget1" is the back up cam for the driver

Shows it can be done.... Shay_Gman uses Tajin's great scripts to help out.

I've had nothing to do with that chasecam he uses in the MCC-dialog. Merely the script for the helmetcamera (not shown in that vid) was made by me.

MCC is a wonderful tool.
