Moving GUI Controls via TorqueScript
by joshdb · in Torque Game Engine · 01/22/2007 (9:55 am) · 6 replies
Is there a way to move GUI controls via TorqueScript? If there's a function a la SetPos(ControlName,x,y) it would be killer - I just can't find it anywhere in the documentation.

Alright, cool. Thanks a lot... I figured there would be something like this, I just couldn't find it.

Alright, can anyone tell me why this code locks up my screen? I can use AltimitBar.setPosition(200, 200); in the console and it works fine, but it won't work through a .gui script.//--- OBJECT WRITE BEGIN ---

That looks like a VERY bad idea. This will just run the code uninterrupted without updating anything. You really want to do this with a schedule and not in a loop.

AltimitBar.setPosition(200, 200); should work, but....Quote:for($y=190; $y < 900; $y++) {

Yep, it is. I'm not sure really what I'm doing yet, but I was just planning primarily on making a really cool animated GUI. It looks good but isn't animated yet.
I'm not sure if I'll replicate the .Hack// series games, but everyone's told me not to dream big at first - So I'm taking things one at a time.
I'll trry putting it in a schedule and post more later.
