[SOLVED] Displaying an image on the screen?

[Neviothr 102]

How would one go about displaying an image on the screen when the player is using his NVGs, and removing it when he's not?

Possible starting point:

h = [] spawn {
	PICTURE = "\A3\Weapons_F\Data\UI\gear_item_compass_ca.paa";

	with uiNamespace do {
		TAG_Picture = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscPicture", -1];
		TAG_Picture ctrlSetPosition [safeZoneX, safezoneY, safeZoneW, safezoneH];
		TAG_Picture ctrlCommit 0;
	};
			
	findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
		params ["_control", "_key", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"];
			
		if (_key in (ActionKeys "NightVision"))  then {
			(uiNamespace getVariable "TAG_Picture") ctrlSetText (["", PICTURE] select !(currentVisionMode player > 0));
		};
		false
	}];
};

		};
		false
	}];
};

 

Tried the above, nothing was displayed.

The created effect fades out after ~10 seconds.

I edited the picture as well as its position, give it another try. Hopefully it'll work- it seemed to work for me. :)
