Changing pictures
« on: August 05, 2010, 02:12:43 pm »


                 I'm looking for a way to display a character portrait as a picture in game, say as a hanging picture on a wall.
I want to be able to alter what picture is displayed through script, but I'm at a loss if it's even possible. The only way I know of displaying objects is if they are alreay defined in the 2da's, but then no way to alter the image placed upon it.

               Short Answer; It is not possible.



Work Around; Make an object that has that pic on it but that is a lot of placeable objects.

               I've thought of that. What I'm after is an ingame way to view and select character portraits easily. Not throught any messy conversation.

I was thinking of a picture that changed when you pressed a button, bit it seems there's no way to dynamically change the image on a picture. I can alter the portrait resref, but that required examining the picture each time it's changed to view the new image.

               Thats what I currently have. Each time it's clicked the Examine window pops up showing the next portrait. It's semi decent, but it would be far nicer if it could be done to a picture on the wall. No popus or anything.
