Is there any 2d(GUI) functions built in?

[Tomas]

Hi. Im wandering is there any 2d functions built in the engine. I want to create a hud, cant find any 2d drawing functions, or maybe there are other ways to display huds (GUI's)?

You want to use the methods of the Context object.

 

See here.

E.g.

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/context/contextdrawimage-r721

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/context/contextdrawtext-r731

function Script:Start()
self.camera = Camera:Create()
self.camera:SetRotation(self.entity:GetRotation(true))
self.camera:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition(true)+Vec3(0,1.8,0))
end

function Script:UpdateWorld()
local context=Context:GetCurrent()
context:SetColor(0,0,0)
context:Clear()
context:SetColor(0,1,0)
context:DrawRect(0,0,100,100)
context:Sync()
end

 

When i use this 3d view is gone. How to combine 2d and 3d?

...figured out. Need to use 2d code in function Script:PostRender:

function Script:PostRender()
local context=Context:GetCurrent()
context:SetColor(0,1,0)
context:DrawRect(0,0,100,100)
end

Thanks for help
