RscObject / CT_OBJECT questions

[BomosBoy 13]

I have 3 questions about the rscObject / CT_OBJECT:

 

1. How i can enable/disable the moving of the Object with the mouse?

2. Which variable sets the position on the screen? (i need my object on the top right corner)

3. Can i set the Texture of the Object afterwards? (for example a weapon with a new skin)

 

Thats my code and i never worked with ui objects before...

		class Test
		{
			idc = 5004;
			type = 82;
			
			enableZoom = 0;
			zoomDuration = 0.001;
			inBack = 1;
			model="\A3\Structures_F\Items\Food\Can_V3_F.p3d";
			direction[]={0,0.5,0.5};
			up[]={0,1,0};
			scale="0.47 * 0.875 * (SafeZoneW Min SafeZoneH)";
			
			xBack = 0.5;
			yBack = 0.5;
			zBack = 1.2;
			
			x = 0.5;
			y = 0.5;
			z = 0.2;
		};

		class Test
		{
			idc = 5004;
			type = 82;
			movingEnable = false;    // true to enable moving dialog with mouse
			enableZoom = 0;
			zoomDuration = 0.001;
			inBack = 1;
			model="\A3\Structures_F\Items\Food\Can_V3_F.p3d";
			direction[]={0,0.5,0.5};
			up[]={0,1,0};
			scale="0.47 * 0.875 * (SafeZoneW Min SafeZoneH)";
			
			xBack = 0.5;
			yBack = 0.5;
			zBack = 1.2;
			// x and y are the position on the screen.
			// current x and y put the top left corner of the object into the top left corner of the screen.
			// Use z in addition to scale to fine tune the size/ zoom of the object
			
			x = 0 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0 * safezoneH + safezoneY;			
			z = 2;
};

As for the texture. Each object has a base model(.p3d). When the object is actually created in game, then it adds the texture it's supposed to or told to by scripting. In a dialog you are just displaying the base model and not creating the object so it's appearance cannot be changed. This is as far as I know and would love if someone could prove me wrong, and show me how to do it.

Wow!  A recent, PRETTY, GUI tutorial?  Thank you! :)

Yea thank you!

The problem is that i tired to add some vehicles as objects but they (like you said) have only the base texture (offroad is red everytime). I wanted to create my loadout menu with a weapon preview but i think thats not working if i cant change the texture.....

 

 

EDIT: I added onObjectMoved = "(_this select 0) ctrlEnable false" to deactivate the moving of the object / mouse.

You could locally spawn the weapon in a weaponholder set to the screenToWorld position instead.
