I have seen this in menus, and was wondering if I could use this to set the rect based on a dvar?

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#ifndef PC
			rect			-47 -40 54 27
#else // #ifndef PC
			rect			(WEAPINFO_X +116) (WEAPINFO_Y +15) 80 40
#endif // #ifndef PC

I want to so something like:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#if(dvarstring("test")=="yes")
			forecolor		1 1 1 1
#else 
			forecolor		.2 .2 0 .5
#endif

Which didn't work...

if you want to set a rect based on a specific condition, you have to create 2 or more itemDefs for each condition.

I've done that but for some reason I'm at some type of limit where if I add any more itemdefs, it crashes without the T4M mod. I don't really understand why, but I have randomly commented out 2 itemdefs and it works. So I am trying to consolidate some.

Not possible, sorry.

lolol, I said the same thing and after two days of testing, I cannot see any other solution. I've commented out itemdefs with the same materials, with different materials, in different menudefs, and same results. So I am not sure what is causing the issue, but I would like to use one item def for two purposes atm. I have found another way around the images issue I was having, but I would also like to adjust the forecolor.

#define DVAR_IS_TRUE ( dvarstring( "test" )=="yes ")
#ifdef DVAR_IS_TRUE
forecolor 1 1 1 1
#else
forecolor .2 .2 0 .5
#endif

Stuff like that worked very well for me. Don't see why not.

You can modify position using exp check main.menu for fog scrolling.

This behaved as if it was always defined.

sorry, I said rect in title, I meant forecolor.

I tried this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#define PERK_COLOR		1 (dvarint("powerswitch")) (dvarint("powerswitch")) 1

//in itemdef
forecolor		PERK_COLOR

but that didn't work for me either

I just went down to the compass itemdefs and commented them out, now I can have all the ones I wanted in and it doesn't matter anymore. Still don't know why, but its working with those commented out.

Yeah editing forecolor, besides alpha, I do not think is possible. I tried exp forecolor R, G, and B and also exp forecolor C for the whole color all together, and mod builder said only 'A' for alpha works. And you cannot use dvars on anything but 'exp' and 'visible when();' so yeah the only way to change the color is making different ItemDef's which is kinda limiting.

If you want to change the color you can do exp R,G,B,A which controls forecolor

Wait I'll check into waw later the colors should be supported.

No you cannot. I tried this and launcher gave me an error saying it expected only "A".
