Go ahead, you might finish before I do I keep getting wound up in real life things then when I get on the pc I don't feel like making anything.
getExtent returns a value. %this returns the periTestImage weaponImage you are packaging it inside.This worked, thanks.
You'd probably want to do echo(PlayGui.getExtent()); if you want to echo the extent data.
or you can do %extent = PlayGui.GetExtent(); if you want to keep the extent on a local variable
function periTestImage::onMount(%this,%obj,%slot)
{
PlayGui.getExtent();
echo(%this);
}I suppose I could try a different method(getRes?), but originally I wanted to get the PlayGui extents on image mount then use that to resize the bitmap.
PlayGui::getExtent(%this) is the definition of the function. It requires an object %this to be called. Most of the time you are using an object's method you can just call it right on the object like this: playGui.getExtent();. The function that I normally use to get the resolution of the client's screen is getRes() though.Hmm still getting an error. Tried to echo getExtent to console a couple different ways and I'm still having trouble. This is what it says now:
Add-Ons/Item_TeleTest/Item_TeleTest.cs (99): PlayGui::getExtent - wrong number of arguments.
Add-Ons/Item_TeleTest/Item_TeleTest.cs (99): usage: Get the width and height of the control.

Well that really depends on what you're trying to do. You can add a bitmap control to any GUI in Blockland to make your image appear. The PlayGUI example was just assuming you wanted to have the image on your screen while in a server. It doesn't have to be like that, you could put the image in a menu that you open with a keybind.
More specifically, you'll want to create a GuiBitmapCtrl and use the setBitmap(image_path) method on it. From there you can add it to the PlayGUI (or whatever GUI you want) to have it appear in your game.
Are you trying to create event triggers, like onActivateTop or onActivateNorth, etc.?
also to finally give something on topic: one thing you need to consider is what do the events include? onActivateNorth/South/East/West/Top/Bottom? or onActivateFront/Back/Left/Right/Top/Bottom?
what about activating the ramp portion of a brick, or the wedge portion of a wedge? should it just pretend its like a cuboid brick and handle the activation as if the person clicked a normal cuboid brick from that angle?
