Title: two TitleRsc, at same time.
Post by: FiLL2d on 23 Jul 2006, 02:16:43

is their a way or trick of getting two TitleRsc messages to show at the same time. thanks.

also on another point, http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=27107.0

does this also mean you could dynamically change titlersc messages using variables????

Use titleObj for one message, and titleRsc for the other. Not sure about your other question. Try it and see. If it works, let us know!

Or use titleRsc and cutRsc. Not sure if it works with resources too, but it works with text.

Thanks guys for the great replys. I didn't get the dynamic text to work in RscTitles, as any form of scripting inside the...

text="text goes here";

will be ignored and just shown text. ALTHOUGH...I saw a recent topic about rolling credits ;), well, I managed to animate an RscTitle using variables in the description.ext to make it roll down the screen...I'll post what I did here, it mite help...who knows.

//description.ext

class RscStdText
{
   type=0;
   idc=-1;
   style=2;
   colorBackground[]={0,0,0,0};
   colorText[]={1,1,1,1};       
   font="courierNewB64";
   size=1;
};
class RscTitles
{
   titles[]={credits};
   
   class credits
   {
        idd=-1;
        movingEnable=0;
        duration=999999999999; 
        fadein=0;   
      fadeout=0;
        name="credits";
        controls[]={"creditstext",};
        
      class creditstext : RscStdText
        {
             text="Credits go here";
         colorText[]={1,0,0,1};
         font="courierNewB64";
         size=0.50;             
             x=dynamx;
             y=dynamy;
             w=0.8;
             h=0.05;
        };
};

//credits.sqs

dynamx=0.1
dynamy=0
#loop
TitleRsc ["credits","plain",9999]
dynamy=dynamy+0.005
~0.01
goto "loop"

This is really simple, and to do anything like rolling credits then I believe this will be the best method, the script is primitive, you could add alot more to it to change sizes and colours etc.

Neat trick. I hope penguinnman is reading this thread because he had a question about rolling credits. Even though the original post about variables in the description.ext was mine, I never thought of this brilliant little exploit.

As for using string variable names in the description.ext I tried for a long time, without success, to get it to work so I could use the stringtable.csv for resource texts in different languages. description.ext does not like string variables I guess.
