Create RscButton if variable is true

[MechSlayer 18]

class taximetro: RscButton
		{
			idc = 1600;
			onMouseButtonClick = "closeDialog 1; createDialog 'interfazTaximetro'; ctrlSetText [1001, format ['%1', Dinero]];";
			text = "Taximetro"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
			x = 0.040674 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0.90607 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
			w = 0.0787416 * safezoneW;
			h = 0.0420073 * safezoneH;
		};

I want this to be created only if a condition is true. How can i make it?

[HazJ 1287]

Two choices:

Create it using ctrlCreate command or just hide your current one until ready.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ctrlCreate

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ctrlShow

These will get you started.

Easier to create some display init function which you have in onLoad at top. Maybe some switch case to select which display, etc... Set initial state to hidden.

Try first, if you get stuck, let me know and I'll provide further help.

Thanks, I made it work with ctrlShow, but I have another question. How can I set layers? For example: The background behind a button

[HazJ 1287]

Button can have its own background. Usually priority is a little hacky. Move stuff around. Background (for me at least) usually is under everything else.

[MechSlayer 18]

I mean, for example: I have 4 buttons and an image as background, the 4 buttons must be layer 1 and the image layer 0

[HazJ 1287]

So the background is over the buttons? Weird. Add that to controlsBackground instead.

class controlsBackground
{
};
class controls
{
};

Thanks! One last question, how can I change the opacity of a picture?

[HazJ 1287]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ctrlSetFade

Don't think this will cut it.

Try changing last value in colorBackground[] like so:

colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 0.25};

Brain not working at the moment. Haha.

[MechSlayer 18]

Where do I put that? Inside the picutre RcsClass ?

[HazJ 1287]

Can you show me what you got already please?

[MechSlayer 18]

Nope, it didn't work.

[HazJ 1287]

Uhm. Does for me ? What image you using?

class image : RscPicture
{
	idc = 1200;
	x = 0.257213 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
	y = 0.205949 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
	w = 0.492135 * safezoneW;
	h = 0.560097 * safezoneH;
	text = "hud.paa";
	colorBackground[] = {1, 1, 1, 0.25};
};

Does this do nothing?

[MechSlayer 18]

Nope it didn't work

This is the image: 

The images is visible but it's nearly invisible: 

[HazJ 1287]

Review your image size.

 

Also, I meant colorText not colorBackground, my bad.

class test
{
	idd = 12345;
	movingEnable = 1;
	class controlsBackground
	{
		class image : RscPicture
		{
			idc = 1200;
			x = 0.257213 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0.205949 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
			w = 0.492135 * safezoneW;
			h = 0.560097 * safezoneH;
			text = "image.paa";
			colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 0.25};
		};
	};
};

Works. 0.25 opacity. Tweak that to say 1 and you see it fully. I think what you was asking about was the fact that your image wasn't fully visible to begin with, this being due to your image size.

Use this and you'll see.
