Scripting / can you make a video play for each display.

« on: March 21, 2022, 06:07:00 AM »

Hello so new to coding in general and super new to squirril but having alot of fun with attractmode. so what i would like to do is have attractmode play a video clip when i move from one display to the next (im thinking console startup videos) so how would i do that.

my first thought was to look for the event handler that registers the click and loading the appropriatly titled display. but i cant find that in any .nut file i look at is that how attractmode works?

Scripting / Y value not affect placement in Layout.

« on: February 15, 2022, 03:21:41 AM »

hey,

so ive been making some small modifications to the Retrodiction theme found here: http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3199.0

ive added in a space above the games list for the game logo.

ive managed to freely modify every bit of the layout except the indicator circle. i can move it in the x axis but not matter how much i increase the y value its starting position never changes

i only started learning programming about a year ago for fun so its probably just me missing something small but any help would be appriciated.

here is the offending code as far as i can tell.

//Indicator Bar
local indicator_bar = fe.add_image( "images/indicator_bar.png", 21, 240, 12,730 );
local indicator_graph = fe.add_image( "images/indicator_graph.png", 23, 240, 8, 760 );
local indicator_position = fe.add_image( "images/indicator_circle.png", 5, 400, 42, 42 );
