How to use Switches to change the bitmap of a CustomButton

[Jeshua]

I have 4x2 switch object that I want to use to change a CustomButton's bitmap offstate to four different symbols according to which switch is on.

How would I make this script?

Thank you

And what do you want to happen when no switch is on (out of the 4x2 ones) OR when more than two buttons are on?

here's an example with the modifier switches set to radio.....The first one "resets" the custom button to display text, the rest set to a few example bitmaps (out of the 14 range)....

you call up the 'bitmap' attribute of the CustomButton. Something like this:

Code: Select all

decl i=firstof(Switches.x);

setattribute(CustomButton, 'bitmap', i);

Thanks for the idea, I wasn't aware of this bitmap attribute.

Ups, Softcore was faster.

Answering posts like this = the best exercise for learning Lemur!

...or should I say:

On expression forum question, any

Code: Select all

decl learn, try;
try = make a sample project;

if (try==1) learn=1;
else learn=0;

Hi
getattributelist(object) is a handy one to just chuck in a monitor to check whats possible whilst coding . .
Or print out the appendix bits from the guide as well . . .
I keep meaning to post my attribute lister thing . . .

I keep going back to the manual for the attributes - just followed your advice and made a Monitor module with the getattribute script to have ready to drop in future designs and get the attributes of an object fast!

Nice one!

I wasn't aware of that one either.

Cool stuff, thanks!
