Hi there, are we allowed to define bitmaps first for panel buttons, or do we have to do this in the button line? I seem to be getting weird syntax errors when it seems that it shouldnt be.

here is a define at the begginning of the script for a bitmap:

BMAP* TXTSPELLTABOVR_bmap = "TXTSPELLTABOVR.BMP";

and the corresponding button code:

PANEL* SPELLSMAP_panel =
{
.....
button(250,18,TXTSPELLTABOVR_bmap,TXTSPELLTABOFF_bmap,TXTSPELLTABOVR_bmap,openSpellInvPanels,NULL,NULL);

the syntax error I'm recieving is for "invalid character" and after TXTSPELLTABOVR_bmap its shows "^" like this TXTSPELLTABOVR_bmap^.
Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks!

try:
button = 250,18,....NULL;

Hi oldschoolj!

In your panel definition did you write

bmap = ......

pos_x = ...;
pos_y = ....;

(dot for shortcut to your words)

Hi again Oldschoolj!

Here's a button code from my game :
BMAP* note_1_R = "une_note_rouge.pcx";
BMAP* note_1_V = "une_note_verte.pcx";

PANEL* une_note = {
pos_x = 8;
pos_y = 96;
layer = 7;
alpha = 100;
button = 0,0,note_1_R,note_1_R,note_1_V,choix_un_son,null,null;
flags = OVERLAY;
}

Hope this helps

hey ottawa, question, how come buttons work for you without parenthesis, they work for me only with parenthesis? and the manual shows them. Do you have a different version that allows this?

Your right

I know they work very well because I've got alot of them.

I'll look into this.

I'm working with 7.04 Pro.

Ottawa. Will be back tomorow.

Hi again!

I looked at the manual and found many pages of

button ()

and
button =

search for skill_pan to find the page with button =

wounder which one is the correct or fastes one?
Did you find a solution to your problem?

Ottawa

yes I did, JCL may not seem to think so, but I see alot of weird things go on in litec, for no apparent reason, lol. It's ok because I'm sure that the kinks will get worked out eventually.

Hi!

I've got another one (situation)

digits = ............;
digits (....);
digits .......;

All these situations work in my game.:)
tested them...
One is surly the right way.

hmm i don't see anything that shows you can do it that way, what manual do you have and version? Maybe it's a glich in the matrix?
