Hi guys, I have a problem to set the position of a Text to a bone of a View-Entity. Here is a Code-Snippet of my try to make it work.
//The View-Entity
ENTITY* user_menu=
{
type = "user_menu.mdl";
layer=2;
flags = SHOW|LIGHT|SHADOW;
flags2 =VISIBLE;
}
//Give View-Entitys a position
void activate_panels_startup()
{
user_menu.x=100; // deep
user_menu.y=-50; // X_screen
user_menu.z=15; // Y_screen
...
}
//my Text
TEXT* txt_build =
{
font=main_txt;
layer = 5;
string (user_menue_build);
flags = TRANSLUCENT | SHOW | ARIGHT;
}
//my programm to set the Position
void activate_Textes_startup()
{
VECTOR text_pos1;
vec_for_bone(text_pos1,user_menu,"Bone1");
vec_to_screen (text_pos1,camera1);
txt_build.pos_x=text_pos1.x;
txt_build.pos_y=text_pos1.y;
}
The Text appears but not at the Bone Position. Any Idea? Sorry if this is too easy and also sorry for my english^^. Have a nice day. best regards

It looks ok. you might show where you set camera1 to be the current view. Don't see that in the code.
You can also try:
if(vec_to_screen (text_pos1,camera1) != NULL)
{
txt_build.pos_x=text_pos1.x;
txt_build.pos_y=text_pos1.y;
}
else
{
while(1)
{
draw_text("Position was not on screen",0,0,vector(225,0,0));
wait(1);
}
}
Or something like that to make sure that the vec_for_screen() position is actually even on the screen area.
You might also take out the ARIGHT flag and test without that.

Hmm I tryied it but it doesn't work. the "Error-message" doesnt apear so it seems there is another mistake in my code. But also thanks for your try. I'll Post the whole camera code now: Maybe is there the reason.
//splitted views
VIEW* camera1= //camera player1
{
layer=15;
arc=110;
}
VIEW* camera2= //camera player2
{
layer=15;
arc=110;
}
//Set the camera positions
void camera_and_HUD_startup()
{
while(1)
{
reset(camera0,SHOW);
set(camera1,SHOW);
set(camera2,SHOW);
camera1.pos_x=0;
camera1.pos_y=0;
camera1.size_x=screen_size.x;
camera1.size_y=screen_size.y/2;
camera2.pos_x=0;
camera2.pos_y=screen_size.y/2;
camera2.size_x=screen_size.x;
camera2.size_y=screen_size.y/2;
...
wait(1)
}
}
//The View-Entity
ENTITY* user_menu=
{
type = "user_menu.mdl";
layer=2;
flags = SHOW|LIGHT|SHADOW;
flags2 =VISIBLE;
}
//Give View-Entitys a position
void activate_panels_startup()
{
user_menu.x=100; // deep
user_menu.y=-50; // X_screen
user_menu.z=15; // Y_screen
...
}
//my Text
TEXT* txt_build =
{
font=main_txt;
layer = 5;
string (user_menue_build);
flags = TRANSLUCENT | SHOW | ARIGHT;
}
//my programm to set the Position
void activate_Textes_startup()
{
VECTOR text_pos1;
vec_for_bone(text_pos1,user_menu,"Bone1");
vec_to_screen (text_pos1,camera1);
if(vec_to_screen (text_pos1,camera1) != NULL)
{
txt_build.pos_x=text_pos1.x;
txt_build.pos_y=text_pos1.y;
}
else
{
while(1)
{
draw_text("Position was not on screen",0,0,vector(225,0,0));
wait(1);
}
}
}
Thanks anyway

thx for your reply but it doesnt work. The text is in the top left corner now. Maybe I did something wrong. Here is my modified code. I marked the Vector Funktions. I think there is a misstake in it.
void activate_Textes_startup()
{
while(1)
{
VECTOR text_pos1;
vec_for_bone(text_pos1,user_menu,"build");
rel_for_screen(text_pos1,camera1);
txt_build.pos_x=text_pos1.x;
txt_build.pos_y=text_pos1.y;
wait(1);
}
}
thanks anyway. Have a nice day.

Thanks for your help. Now it works perfectly. For everyone who need this too. The misstake was there:
void activate_Textes_startup()
{
while(1)
{
VECTOR text_pos1;
vec_for_bone(text_pos1,user_menu,"build");
vec_to_screen (text_pos1.x,camera1);
wait(1);
}
}
it has to be:
void activate_Textes_startup()
{
while(1)
{
VECTOR text_pos1;
vec_for_bone(text_pos1,user_menu,"build");
vec_to_screen (text_pos1.x,camera);
wait(1);
}
}
It seems, that this only works with the regular camera. An you have to remove the reset(camera,SHOW|AUDIBLE); in the main-function. Thank you all. Have nice Evening. best regards Sebb
