[Solved] Texture in dialog control

sarogahtyp · June 14, 2011

After all these years of hating Arma's dialogue system, I have now decided to get involved with it.

At the moment, I'm having a lot of trouble integrating a texture as a background into a control element.

Here is what I have so far:

defines.h

};

This is how I create it:

_ok = createDialog "saroWarfare_dialog_choose_spawn";
if (!_ok) then {hint "Dialog couldn't be opened!"};

_ok = createDialog "saroWarfare_dialog_choose_spawn";
if (!_ok) then {hint "Dialog couldn't be opened!"};

What ever I tried upto now. I never got the texture working on control Control462188694...
Some help would be appreciated.

You should put RscPicture inside the ControlsBackground. that should be able to load your texture
