Gui Minimap

by Nathan Bowhay - ESAL · in Torque Game Engine · 06/23/2006 (5:56 pm) · 4 replies

I am using the RTS v1.3.
I am trying to move the minimap from the bottom left corner to the top right corner of the screen.
It is apearing behind the play screen when moved.
I have tryed using the gui editor to move both the MapHud and MapDisplay_Background and change the position variable.
I have tryed selecting them and moving to front.
I have searched through the playgui.cs and there apeares to be nothing in there that should be messing with this.

I may be overlooking something, but I looked pretty in depth.

Thank you for any help that you can give me.

I looked at the manual included and found out that it is in some c files one being engine/game/RTS/guiMapHud.h I totaly forgot about the manual having some documentation in it.

There are several files I will look through, but I am still not positive this is where I need to be.

I still cant find it. I looked through all the .h and .cc files in the rts folder.

If anyone has any idea of were to look or what might allow me to change tha minimap position and not have it go behind the palyer view, that would be so awsome!

You're more likely to get an answer for this in the RTS forums.

Wow... I fell stupid and confused. So I change just the GuiControl(MapDisplay) position and it is working. Hope I didn't waist anyones time. I just needed to make sure to not change the position of MapDisplay_Background.
