Button With Sprite?

[trollger]

Quick question. I am trying to make a button with a differnt texture for differnt button states: Hover, Pressed, Up, etc...

So first I made a sprite bank

Code: Select all

 
IGUISpriteBank *ButtonSprites = guienv->addEmptySpriteBank("ButtonSprite");
 

Then I loaded two textures

Code: Select all

 
ButtonSprites->addTexture(driver->getTexture("../Media/GUI/SpellButtons/Button_Normal_Hover.png"));
ButtonSprites->addTexture(driver->getTexture("../Media/GUI/SpellButtons/Button_Click_Render.png"));
 

Then I tried to set the two textures to differnt button states

Code: Select all

 
Button->setSpriteBank(ButtonSprites);
Button->setSprite(EGBS_BUTTON_MOUSE_OVER ,0);
Button->setSprite(EGBS_BUTTON_DOWN,1);
 

My code all works it compiles just fine, the console reports the textures loading, and I know that the buttons are positioned correctly because I can still click on them, but none of the textures show up. Sorry if this seems like a "solve my problems" thread but I can not find anything in the API to hint at what I am doing wrong.

I dunno, I never figured it out either and thus I used an external library (I use CEGUI, there are a ton of other viable options too)

Use addTextureAsSprite instead. Otherwise you have to manually set positions in the spritebank.

If I use addTextureAsSprite then I can only use one non animated textures, and that won't work. So how do I add the position of the sprites in the sprites bank manually?

I think you have to directly modify the array with the positions. Sorry that thread is pretty much the only documentation: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/forum/v ... =9&t=25742

Thanks I read through it and got it working, some better docs would be nice though, maybe Ill make a tutorial.
