scope probs

[»SZO« Nutcutter]

Where can I find some info on drawing a canvas on top of another? For example why am I having so much trouble making a multicolored scope? Getting lost just doing black and white together

I had success working with HUDOverlay. For mutators that won't rely on a gametype specific HUD, it works pretty well. Some normal HUD functions are missed, but that wasn't too hard to overcome.

To find information on it, I browsed some Discussions on HUD pages at the wiki. Just search the wiki and you find them.

OK I got it working thanx a bunch! Now whats the best way to be able to use black and white together? Do they have to be two separate textures (canvas)? I was looking at "drawline" but it doesent sound like it moves with the view, cant find much on it though. I guess Id be happy with some sort of 'plus' in white set on top of the same in black (sort of) at least to start with. Do I need to go into ed and create a modifier there?

The further I go the behinder I get LOL!

Draw black, draw white over it. They don't necessary have to be separate textures, just different positions or scales. I used Canvas.Style, SetDrawColor, SetPos, DrawTileClipped and it worked fine.

"Moves with the view", meaning you want it to track with something across the player's viewport? Look into Canvas.WorldToScreen:

vector WorldToScreen (vector WorldLoc)

Okay 90% seems to be fine but I have one prob-when a player chooses custom scope opt they can still see the def scope also what gives? IE they see them both at the same time.

else
    {
        CX = Canvas.ClipX/2;
        CY = Canvas.ClipY/2;
        ZoomScale = Canvas.ClipX/1024;

        if (ZoomString != "")
        {
            tileScaleX = Canvas.SizeX / 640.0f;
            tileScaleY = Canvas.SizeY / 480.0f;

            fX = 2*focusX * tileScaleX;
            fY = 2*focusY * tileScaleY;

            SetZoomBlendColor(Canvas);
            Canvas.DrawColor = FocusColor;
            Canvas.Style = ERenderStyle.STY_Alpha;

            Canvas.SetPos((Canvas.SizeX*0.5)-fX/2,(Canvas.SizeY*0.5)-fY/2);
            Canvas.DrawTile( ZoomReticule, fX, fY, 0.0, 0.0, ZoomReticule.USize, ZoomReticule.VSize );
        }
        else
        // default reticule
        {
            Canvas.SetDrawColor(255,255,255,255);
            Canvas.Style = ERenderStyle.STY_Modulated;


        // Top Gradient
        Canvas.SetPos(200*Canvas.ClipX/401, 3.93*Canvas.ClipY/9);
        Canvas.DrawTile(ZoomReticule, Canvas.ClipX/401, Canvas.ClipY/1360*(90-PlayerController(Instigator.Controller).DesiredFOV), 167, 386, 3, 54);

        // Left Gradient
        Canvas.SetPos(3.94*Canvas.ClipX/9, 200*Canvas.ClipY/401);
        Canvas.DrawTile(ZoomReticule, Canvas.ClipX/1360*(90-PlayerController(Instigator.Controller).DesiredFOV), Canvas.ClipY/401, 116, 437, 54, 3);

        // Bottom Gradient
        Canvas.SetPos(200*Canvas.ClipX/401, 5.07*Canvas.ClipY/9 - Canvas.ClipY/1360*(90-PlayerController(Instigator.Controller).DesiredFOV));
        Canvas.DrawTile(ZoomReticule, Canvas.ClipX/401, Canvas.ClipY/1360*(90-PlayerController(Instigator.Controller).DesiredFOV), 167, 437, 3, 54);

        // Right Gradient
        Canvas.SetPos(5.06*Canvas.ClipX/9 - Canvas.ClipX/1360*(90-PlayerController(Instigator.Controller).DesiredFOV), 200*Canvas.ClipY/401);
        Canvas.DrawTile(ZoomReticule, Canvas.ClipX/1360*(90-PlayerController(Instigator.Controller).DesiredFOV), Canvas.ClipY/401, 167, 437, 54, 3);



       // Top Gradient

        // Bottom Gradient
        Canvas.SetPos(200*Canvas.ClipX/401, 5.07*Canvas.ClipY/9 - Canvas.ClipY/1360*(90-PlayerController(Instigator.Controller).DesiredFOV));
        Canvas.DrawTile(ZoomReticule, Canvas.ClipX/401, Canvas.ClipY/1360*(90-PlayerController(Instigator.Controller).DesiredFOV), 167, 437, 3, 54);

Isn't it just a matter of placing your curly brackets in the right place? (}) I don't see the end curly bracket for your "else" line.

Well there was more past that, I was just showing the main part-Unless I am completely blind(which has happened on more than one occasion!)
