Now just create clickable buttons with PANEL´s button function and digits, and you´re done ^^ Last edited by Espér; 11/10/12 13:13.

I had a problem loading project files but there was a solution to that in the manual SetCurrentDirectory(_chr(work_dir)); Now ive got another pickle... Is it possible to set a fixed image as the sky? As of right now it just keeps coming up as a flat wall in the scene. Decessus - 80% done. 100% abandoned.

Stansmedia OP Serious User Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,524 Canada	I managed to get it sort of working, problem is the image appears in front of everything... Code: ENTITY* skycubepic = { x = 2000; y = 0; z = 0; type = "cosmo_f02+6.bmp"; // SET BY USER flags2 = SKY \| SHOW \| SCENE; } Decessus - 80% done. 100% abandoned.

Stansmedia OP Serious User Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 1,524 Canada	Solved! Problem was my sky color wasn't transparent... I had a feeling setting a negative layer number would be it but it kept disapearing... Because of sky color. Code: ENTITY* skycubepic = { layer = -1; x = 100; y = 0; z = 0; type = "cosmo_f02+6.bmp"; // SET BY USER flags2 = SKY \| SHOW ; Code: function main() { ... vec_set(sky_color.blue,vector(0,0,0)); ... } Decessus - 80% done. 100% abandoned.
