Spring RTS Engine

How can i create a "window"? if would be alsow ok if its only a gray square.

Code above will get you a simple gray window, just replace left/bottom/right/top with wherever you want the window to be

It's not like a desktop app, you don't need windows. You can write and Draw anywhere in the Screen, anywhere in the World, anywhere InMiniMap.

windows.
in spring they are just grey squares.
---
if you want a window that can be moved around and maybe even resized you could use one of the many UI frameworks like RedUI, chilli, LolUI, IceUI and whatever their names are.

Thx, but is that right now?


Or have i to write anything for end? or to start?

function widget:GetInfo()
return {
name = "Blupp",
desc = "BluppBlupp",
author = "Karotte",
date = "2010",
license = "WTFOMG",
layer = 0,
enabled = true
}

function widget:DrawScreen()
gl.Color(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1)
gl.Rect(left, bottom, right, top)

end

Of course you need to define these values.

ok, and how can i aktivate my widget ingame? when im pressing F11 it doesn't appear. i have the plugin in Spring/LuaUI/wigets/ xxx.lua

Do i have to modify a file?

Read infolog.txt, especially the parts where widgets are loaded and initialised. Maybe you'll see an error message there.


You forgot an end:

function widget:GetInfo()
return {
name = "Blupp",
desc = "BluppBlupp",
author = "Karotte",
date = "2010",
license = "WTFOMG",
layer = 0,
enabled = true,
}
end

function widget:DrawScreen()
gl.Color(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
gl.Rect(100,100,500,500)
end
