I’m building a game where I want the user to configure a map before starting. Part of the configuration is allowing them to upload an image that I then display on their screen when they start the level.
I have searched the forum and I can’t find anyone that has done this and provided a good explanation on how they did it.
This game is for desktop only so I can use the local file system to its full extent.
How do you want to do the “upload”? My suggestion is take a Panel Sprite object and apply the following
Is the “Set Image” method still a thing on the Panel Sprite? I can’t seem to find it
Ok I’m struggling to get this working. Does this already need to be in your resources for it to work? I’m using a Windows machine so also dubious about the absolute pathing.
I just get this error message in the console:
Unable to find texture for resource "C:\Users\Username\Pictures\Map Frame Demo.png".
The file exists and pasting this path in my explorer load the file.
Sorry, my mistake. I had this already in my resources and the name was the same. I guess this option only allows to change the image from the resources.
There are maybe workarounds for this. I will check later on. Maybe our last chance is to use a JS block to do this. Would like to hear some more from the GD experts here on this topic.
Ok I made some progress on this. I can load an image from the local drive by following this example:
You use the file:/// instead of a URL. For example I used file://C:/Users/Username/Pictures/Map Frame Demo.png for the url scene variable value of the example.
