I have a bad memory - how to script mouseover image for multiple locations [solved]

[Mor3bane]

So, I have a png, it has 15 "buttons" on it. Generically they look like this:

Code: Select all

[Low0]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
X=487
Y=965
H=40
W=40
ToolTipText="..."
ToolTipType=1
MouseOverAction=
MouseLeaveAction=
LeftMouseDownAction=
RightMouseDownAction=
DynamicVariables=1

The X & Y are all different but this is the first one on the near-bottom of the screen. The H & W are all the same 32x32.

I have another png that is small, yep, 32x32. This would be my mouseover highlight, that would go away on mouseleave.

I tried to use the !SetOption Bang to 'dynamically' set the meter image - which is not actually set for any of the buttons as they are all integrated into the 'parent' image.
This did not work:

Code: Select all

MouseOverAction=[!SetOption "Low0" "ImageName" "Clicky.png"]

My poor memory just is blank tonight.

Any recommendations?

There is one image with 15 buttons? Not sure I follow.

Code: Select all

[Low0]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
X=487
Y=965
H=40
W=40
ToolTipText="..."
ToolTipType=1
MouseOverAction=
MouseLeaveAction=
LeftMouseDownAction=
RightMouseDownAction=
DynamicVariables=1

The X & Y are all different but this is the first one on the near-bottom of the screen. The H & W are all the same 32x32.

The size of the above [Low0] meter is 40x40, not 32x32.

This did not work:

Code: Select all

MouseOverAction=[!SetOption "Low0" "ImageName" "Clicky.png"]

Why? What happens when you're hovering the mouse over them?

Any recommendations?

Yes, definitely. First please pack the whole config (take care to include all images) and upload the package.

Hi, so the concept is that the visual area is fixed graphically at 32x32, ok?
However, the clickable area is 40x40 - I simplified that idea to streamline my request information. This is a minor thing, yes?
I cannot upload everything since I have personal information in the code and editing all of it out would dissolve the time I am trying to save, ok?

I have attached the images relevant to the visual aspect for your reference.

Perhaps with just that you may understand better.

I am more interested in not having repetitive code, than precision - so, yes the image - if a solution was provided precisely would be off but I was thinking I could adjust later on my own.

Yes, this !SetOption doesn't work, because you have to vanish the set solid color. For this you have to add another !SetOption, which sets the SolidColor option empty. Beside this, I probably would also add a MouseLeaveAction, to set back the solid color when you're leaving the meter, but if you have / need this is completely up to you. So, here are the modified options:

Code: Select all

MouseOverAction=[!SetOption Low0 SolidColor ""][!SetOption Low0 ImageName "Clicky.png"][!UpdateMeter "Low0"][!Redraw]
MouseLeaveAction=[!SetOption Low0 SolidColor "0,0,0,1"][!SetOption Low0 ImageName ""][!UpdateMeter "Low0"][!Redraw]

Also note the added [!UpdateMeter "Low0"] and [!Redraw] bangs.

Hmm, that does not seem to work.

I do not think there is anything else in play here as the graphical thing is all that is being changed.

The click events should not create any issue as the click is not part of the preferred outcome.

I also changed the canvas size of the Clicky.png to 40x40, making the alignment correct.

Not sure what is in play here, that could be causing the image not to appear...

Hmm, that does not seem to work.

Unfortunately with the code I had recreated it definitely does work.
I can't help more if I don't know the code. Please post at least the complete code, if you don't want to upload the packed config. However that would be the best, at least the code would be needed.

Sorry!

The CLicky.png is in the Resources folder.

It as simple as:

Code: Select all

MouseOverAction=[!SetOption Low0 SolidColor ""][!SetOption Low0 ImageName "#@#Clicky.png"][!UpdateMeter "Low0"][!Redraw]

Thanks Balala. As per your regular kindness, your solution is perfect.

Aha. I'm glad in this case.
