Image Map Builder - Image Mode = KEY?

by Laurence Grant · in Torque Game Builder · 12/10/2006 (1:37 pm) · 4 replies

Hi all,

I have an image containing multiple subimages. Each is different in size, but I've outlined each in a white frame. I thought the idea of Image Mode=Key was that it would be able to pick the images out using the border color? When I choose KEY it just gives me a white image which is implying that it can't find a key. I was wondering if anyone could explain in more detail how KEY is supposed to work and if I can make it do what I want or if I'll be required to create many separate images

Thanks

Head to the Documentation Overview, click Image Maps in the table of contents, and scroll about 2/5ths of the way down to "KEY" Image-Mode

That covers every possible detail about the KEY image mode ;)

I'm using r1.10 documentation, is there a new version because this version isn't saying a whole lot. I'm getting issues that aren't covered and don't make sense to me.

I'm pretty sure the Image Map doc was written a long time ago and that it's been in just about every release. It's definitely in 1.1.3 at the least, but it should be in 1.1 as a .pdf in your documentation folder. What stuff did you find? The part I'm looking at goes over the algorithm step by step.

Hope you find it ;)

Ah, I haven't updated to v1.1.3 so I only have the v1.1.2 .pdf's.

I'll dl v1.1.3 and check those documents, thanks :)
