Hi, here is some questions i had after readin the tutorial about makin a user interface :

1) How can i set the font size?

2) How can i make a display of a int variable?

3) When i try to load a fond texture, i have that: "The amount of upper pixels or lower corner pixels is == 0,font file may be corrupted", and i see a blue fons, what can i do?

Thank you

1) How can i set the font size?

This depends on the size of the fonts in your bitmap. The IrrFontTool allows you to pick the font size before creating the bitmap with the font on it.

2) How can i make a display of a int variable?

Code: Select all

core::stringw wStr = "This is my integer - ";
wStr += (int)var;

Then use the wStr as input into a GUI element.

3) When i try to load a fond texture, i have that: "The amount of upper pixels or lower corner pixels is == 0,font file may be corrupted", and i see a blue fons, what can i do?

What font texture are you trying to load?

Ok, let's do that again^^

1) => ok

2) =>

Then use the wStr as input into a GUI element.

How can i do that?

3) just a jpg file

2.) i guess he means something like this:

core::stringw wStr = "This is my integer - ";
wStr += (int)var;

guienv->addStaticText(wStr, rect<int>(10,10,200,22), true);

3.) in the irrlicht directory there is a folder called Tools, which contains a Font converter. you can convert standart font files with that tool to font bitmaps which you then can use in irrlicht.

2)
it's what i tried, but doesn't work:

no matching function for call to `irr::gui::IGUIEnvironment::addStaticText(irr::core::stringw&, irr::core::rect<irr::s32>, bool)'
candidates are: virtual irr::gui::IGUIStaticText* irr::gui::IGUIEnvironment::addStaticText(const wchar_t*, const irr::core::rect<irr::s32>&, bool, bool, irr::gui::IGUIElement*, irr::s32)

3) ok, thanks

in reference to number two, how about using stdlib::atoi() then concatenating?

I think the problem with #2 is the way you're calling addStaticText; it didn't find a matching function for it, but it found a candidate. Could you paste the code here where you add the static text to the GUI? I think that's where the problem lies.
