Graphics

Hello,

Is there a smart way to make a template be on the left or right side? We use iNews and I was hoping there's a way that by typing in a code or something I can change a graphic bug to be on the left or right even if I already filled in the template.

Thanks for the help.

2 ways :

Transition logic : You check if a scene is online, then you adapt your animcontrollers to put you bug on left or right.

Visual logic : You put an hidden text, with visual logic you check it, and with a selector, you put your bug where you want (some example are on this forum).

I've found that my newsroom prefers "checkboxes" in order to move things from left to right or control visibility of groups. Here's how I took care of them (also using the iNews plugin):

I created a quad that would have zero chance of being visible. Alpha set to 0, 1x1 px in size, with position coordinates of 2000x2000, and no material applied to it. I published the visibility of this object.

Now, I've done it both scripting and Visual Logic, so how you go from here is up to you.

For script:

dim right as xpBaseObject

dim group as xpBaseObject

Self.GetObjectByName("Right", right)

Self.GetObjectByName("Group that moves", group)

if right.Visible=True

group.PosX=whatever your RIGHT-side X position value is

else

group.PosX=whatever your LEFT-side X position value is

end if

For Visual Logic, like explained above, you would just take the visibility of the object, send that to a selector block index (visibility will create a 0 if not visible, a 1 if visible), then your left value into the first selection and your right value into the second selection, then send that to the object that needs to move.

That did the trick. Thank you so much!
