Post subject: Placing Screen Objects

I am trying to place screen objects.. But im not sure how to do it fully..

Heres an example of what it should look like later on.. (Screenshot i took, put the image on in Paintshop Pro :P)

So heres the board..

and a 0..

So, i want the board to show all the time, then i will need the numbers to be server controlled, and all i can think of is making 4 different objects for one number.. for like example:

W | L
13 10

I would need to put a 1 in each different slot to line up when its turned on with *objon, dotn worry about how im doing it, its a bot, im making it, i just need help placing all these numbers cuz i SUCK with lvz..

This post is prolly hella confusing and noobish but leave me alone :)

Plz Help

you need 40 objects... 10 for each number (0-9) and 4 different positions

yep.. then i need to find out how to place them in certain places.. help?

i know with map objects its like X Y multiply by 16 like 512 x 16 and 512 x 16 to get center

but i dont understand this screen objects at all

Screen objects are relative to the top left of the screen. If you look in refpoints.gif, you can see that there are also many other points around which to make objects relative. You can mix and match reference points for X and Y. If you want an object (upper left of object) 100 pixels from the right edge of the screen, and 100 pixels from the top, you would use B-100,100.

What he's saying is that you measure in pixels.

Just like maps if you only approach it from top left corner. With other reference points you merely start somewhere else.

Yes you can count pixels on a screen because that is what the surface is composed of, but they are not a specific number of inches. Who is this Akai retard?

It's measuring an amount (called counting) not a distance, chump.

Ok this code didnt show anything in game:

Code: Show/Hide

OutFile=sb.lvz

File=board.bmp
File=0.png
File=1.png
File=2.png

[objectimages]
IMAGE14=board.bmp,65,45,100
IMAGE1=0.png
IMAGE2=1.png
IMAGE3=2.png

[mapobjects]
B-84,68,IMAGE14,AfterShips,ShowAlways,0,0
E-0,10,IMAGE1,AfterChat,ServerControlled
E-0,10,IMAGE2,AfterChat,ServerControlled
E-0,10,IMAGE3,AfterChat,ServerControlled

yaya, i know, one in B others are E... i took the code from Gundam Wing's lvz to see if it would make a diff, even made the png image a bmp and nothing happened

I see no object id's there. How are you supposed to turn them on?

You should change the image14's to image0's

and what's with those animation numbers for board.bmp - you're seriously using that many frames?

I know this is off-topic, but you did it before in this thread so whatever.

Why are you people even caring about what SuSE says about his measuring, he's just messing with you, obviously.

I don't like his new user title, though.

I just like it when people go apeshit over something and then end up contradicting themselves.

Argh. Nobody's contradicting anything they previously said. Read the thread over again.

But isn't using IMAGE14 alright? I don't see why you HAVE to go in order...

What's wrong with order?

Can someone just please give me some kind of code instead of asking me all these questions that i dont know answers to? lol

Did you see my comments? Check your INI syntax. You are missing object id's.

Sigh. Why doesn't the LVZ builder error on that? You can't have map objects relative to anything.
