I will give it a try,

Code:

#include <acknex.h> //not important atm
#include <default.c> //not important atm
#include <mtlView.c> //not important atm

#define STATE     			skill1 //not important atm
#define ANIMATION 			skill2 //not important atm
#define CREATOR   			skill3 //not important atm
.....

.....

BMAP* crosshair_tga = "crosshair.tga"; //not important atm
BMAP* Defeat_bmp = "Defeat.bmp"; //not important atm
Is this good? (I hope this): 
-> PANEL* ItemInInventorySlot1;
-> PANEL* ItemInInventoryEquipmentSlot1;
Or should it be this?:
-> BMAP* ItemInInventorySlot1_bmp = "Item1.bmp"; 
-> BMAP* ItemInInventoryEquipmentSlot1_bmp = "Item1.bmp"; 
ENTITY* my_sky; //not important atm

The reason why I want to add these pointers is because this way I can easily link the items (/itempanels) placed in the inventory slots with the inventory slots. In other words, I want to give the items (/itemspanels) another addres when placed in an inventory slot that shows in which inventory slot the item lies/is (otherwise the item only reacts to the my and you pointers).

The static one: Code: BMAP* compass_map = "compass.pcx"; PANEL* aircraft_pan = { bmap = compass_map; // compass_map as panel background flags = SHOW; } The dynamic one: Code: PANEL* splashscreen; splashscreen.bmap = bmap_create("splash.pcx"); I think there are more ways to create a panel and assign a bmap to it. Just read the manual careful. All may examples based on the manual's examples. Just one more dynamic example (from my project): Code: #define PAN_MENUS_SUM 3 PANEL* pan_menus[PAN_MENUS_SUM]; pan_menus[1]=pan_create(NULL,2); pan_menus[1].bmap = bmap_create("foo.jpg"); Last edited by Aku_Aku; 08/08/11 16:30.
