Need help loading different backgrounds

by Tony Te · in Torque Game Builder · 09/16/2009 (7:29 pm) · 4 replies

I'm fairly new to torque. I'm making a program right now and I want one of the features to be the user can choose which background they would like. I've looked over the forums and I've found some helpful guides but I'm at a stand still now. This is what I have right now and from reading over the references I believe I have to call addToScene to actually see the background but when I run the game I get a warning saying "Wrong number of arguments for addToScene" I'm sure that what I'm passing in isn't the right argument.
function class1::show(%this)
{
	 %bkgrd = new t2dStaticSprite() {    scenegraph = t2dSceneGraph; };  
     %bkgrd.setPosition("0 0");  
     %bkgrd.setSize(100);  
     %bkgrd.setImageMap(Background_New_2ImageMap);  
	t2dSceneGraph::addToScene(%bkgrd);
}

replace this code:
%bkgrd.setImageMap(Background_New_2ImageMap);

with this:
%bkgrd.setImageMap("Background_New_2ImageMap", 0);

I think your problem is that you need to specify which screengraph you are adding your object to. My code has something like
mainWindow.getSceneGraph().add( %exitWindow );
Where MainWindow is an object that already exists in in my scene.

I've looked in the torque script wiki for the function add but i can't seem to find it.
