Draw commands

[ant0N]

Hi guys!
I suggest you create two new commands:
draw.image(image, x, y, sizeX and sizeY)
draw.text($text, x, y)
or show me analogues of these commands

Thanks antOn, we have a sprite class we can expose to Lua for the image and there is a basic ui we have been using for testing. There is a full UI system being prepared but this wont be available for a few releases yet.

For now the text can be done this way:

Code: Select all

function onInit( objID )
   sky.lprint("LUA: UI Script: Initialized");
   ui.newLayer("ui")
   ui.setLayer("ui")
   ui.newText("myLable1",400,400);
   ui.setColor("myLable1",0,0.9,1)
   ui.text("myLable1","Score : 0")
end

function onStop()
   -- this is needed to remove the text when you go back to editor mode(pressing Stop)
   ui.deleteLayer("ui");
end



I will add these commands to the to-do list
Hope this helps for now

YES, thank you!

how can I place an image on the screen??

[StarFire]

Good question lol

I will add this to the lua to-do list and see what I can come up with. We have the sprite action which provides quite a few image properties, have a look at the "Default - 2D :: Sprite" preset for the properties. I will create a lua version of this as it will provide a few powerful image features

Thank You NightHawk!
please add these commands:
draw.image(image, x, y, sizeX and sizeY)
draw.text($text, x, y)

they are on my list

we already have analogues of these functions? If not, is there a way to create a game inventory at the moment?

You could develop your inventory using the built in GUI Editor located either in the "view>editor>GUI Editor" or use the button on the toolbar.
This is a HTML based screen which we find quite capable.
You will then have to use the lua commands to change what your GUI does.

There are also a few demos located in the tech demos("$(SkylineSDK)/Asset Library/Scenes/Tech Demos/GUI") folder to get you started.
The GUI files are located in "$(SkylineSDK)/Asset Library/GUI"
