Size and position of GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl

by Koen Van Baelen · in Torque Game Builder · 08/15/2007 (11:56 am) · 1 replies

I want to display a 1024x256 bitmap in a GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl object. My screen size is 1024x768, so the bitmap should be positioned at 0,256. When I set "position" to 0,256 and "extent" to 1024,256 the bitmap is first displayed with the correct size and position, but when I save it and run the game it always gets stretched to fullscreen, no matter what I try. My settings simply don't get saved! I am really getting tired of all the bugs in Torque.

Content controls will always get resized to the full extent of the canvas.

You can get around this, in your case, by "wrapping" the GuiFadeInBitmapCtrl in a blank control.
Here is an example:

//--- OBJECT WRITE BEGIN ---
new GuiControl(StartupGuiTransition) {
    // stuff here

    new GuiFadeinBitmapCtrl(SplashScreen) {
         // stuff here
    };
};
//--- OBJECT WRITE END ---
