Many Mouse-Pointers in SplashGui

by Dirk Hoffmann · in Torque Game Builder · 06/10/2006 (7:03 am) · 2 replies

Hello,

I have a routine for displaying a Splash screen and after a certain delay a Main menu.

It look like this:


new GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl(ggSplash) {

canSaveDynamicFields = "0";
Profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
HorizSizing = "right";
VertSizing = "bottom";
Position = "0 0";
Extent = "640 480";
MinExtent = "8 2";
canSave = "1";
Visible = "1";
hovertime = "1000";
bitmap = "~/data/images/GGLogo_icon_long-RGB";//~
wrap = "0";
fadeinTime = "3000";
waitTime = "2000";
fadeoutTime = "2000";
done = "0";
};
//--- OBJECT WRITE END ---

//SplashAnzeige
function loadGGSplash()
{
canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor);
canvas.setContent(ggSplash);
alxPlay( ambient1Audio );
schedule(7000,0,checkGGSplash);
}

function checkGGSplash()
{
if(ggSplash.done)
{

canvas.setContent(MainMenuGui);
canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor);
}

else
schedule(100,0,checkGGSplash);
}




So far it works just fine. But on the splash screen and also afterwards in the menu the mouse-cursor isn't refreshed. This means wherever the mouse moved, a trace stays visible.
I think by using: canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor);
it should be fixed, but it isn't. Anyone out there familiar with this or with a good idea how to fix?


Thanks in advance
Dirk

Try changing :
function loadGGSplash()
{
canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor);
canvas.setContent(ggSplash);
alxPlay( ambient1Audio );
schedule(7000,0,checkGGSplash);
}

to

function loadGGSplash()
{
canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor);
canvas.setContent(ggSplash);
alxPlay( ambient1Audio );
schedule(500,0,checkGGSplash);
}

Might work.
However, check your image has no transparency. ;)

Hope that helps, sorry if it does not,

You'll also notice this behavior if your GUI controls aren't resizing so there isn't a gui control covering the canvas at the location you notice your mouse trails.

You might want to make sure your gui Control size matches your screen settings.
