Dynamic Properties Headers

[Shando]

Hi All,

Not sure if anyone has tried the new Dynamic Properties yet, but I can't seem to be able to get multiple Headers to display.

According to the Release Notes for V0-9-4:

Property Item: "Header": This will create a header and any property underneath will be added as a child

I took this to mean that you can have multiple headers, but I may be wrong??

Anyway, my code is as follows:

Code: Select all

--[[HeaderImage|Skyline_AI_System_Header.png]]
--[[HeaderImage|Skyline_AI_System_Basic_Header.png]]
--[[Prop|int]]               ai_team                     =   1;
--[[Prop|float]]            ai_maxVelocityX               =   10.00;
--[[Prop|float]]            ai_maxVelocityY               =   0.00;
--[[Prop|float]]            ai_maxVelocityZ               =   10.00;

All I'm trying to do is split each section with a Header. I tried just using:

Code: Select all

--[[Header|Some Text]]

but that didn't work, so I tried again with Images. Again, no luck

Basically, it looks like it doesn't generate anything but the top most Header, and displays the last Image in the above code (Skyline_AI_System_Obstacle_Header.png).

Thanks in advance.

Hi! I also tried to do that and it doesn't work. I think you can only create one header for each object.

Hi ant0N,

Thanks for the confirmation.

When SP gets back into developing, hopefully he'll be able to set something up for us?

PS: Would also be good if we can have a way to minimise/maximise these "sections" as well

sorry guys for the late replys to fix this.

1) there is only one image per dynamic properties. This is the image at the top, we have had plans to have images per header as it would look good, but currently unsure as to when this will be integrated.

To add a header image to the dynamic properties, use this line(probably best before all other props) :

Code: Select all

--[[HeaderImage|myimage.png]]


No props are needed afterwards

2) To create a header is like all other properties. you will need to define a variable name for the header(yes, no spaces lol )

Code: Select all

--[[Prop|Header]]   My_Header = ""
--[[Prop|float]]   H1_Prop1 = 1.0
--[[Prop|float]]   H1_Prop2 = -1.3
--[[Prop|float]]   H1_Prop3 = 0.4

--[[Prop|Header]]   My_Header2 = ""
--[[Prop|float]]   H2_Prop1  = 1.0
--[[Prop|float]]   H2_Prop2  = -1.3
--[[Prop|float]]   H2_Prop3  = 0.4


This can probably be improved so we can have headers and properties with spaces between the names.

Hope this helps

Hi SP,

Thanks for that.

I've just tried the Header on a per-section basis, and have noticed a couple of things:

1) The Header variable "name" is displayed, when I would have assumed that the value in the quotes would be displayed?:

Works:

Code: Select all

--[[Prop|Header]]            Wander                     =   ""


I would prefer:

Code: Select all

--[[Prop|Header]]            wander_header                  =   "Wander"


2) You have to double-click the arrow to expand the section. Is it possible to change this to a single-click?

Thanks

1) This can be done and does make a lot of sense. We could make it that if left blank; it will use the variable name instead.

2) Not sure how easy that is atm, but i can take a look and see if its possible which i am fairly sure it is. Just cannot remember of the top of my head after a few weeks lol

Thanks again.
