Adding image overlay/GUI to screen
xS K I D z:
I'd like to have a .png image fill my entire screen after I trigger it within my addon. I've messed around with the mission editor(?) and looked at a few addons and could not find anywhere that explained how to do it exactly and simply.
PhantOS:
Check out the GUI editor. Keep in mind that only you will be able to see the image, nobody else, unless they download your addon

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.

Ah ok setBitmap is what I was looking for then :) So I can still save the gui as any name I want or do I have to save it as the default PlayGUI for example?

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.
