Switching Expression Portraits

jamesfootlight

I get this error however:

Assets/Sleepytime Village/Scripts/CursorUtils.cs(10,62): error CS0103: The name 'Pointer' does not exist in the current context

This is path to .png:
Assets/Sleepytime Village/UI/Cursor/Village Cursors/Pointer.png

jamesfootlight

This is my code:

AC.KickStarter.cursorManager.pointerIcon.ReplaceTexture (Pointer.png);

Also,how do i change the cursor manager to UI? Mine only lists software and hardware?

The name 'Pointer' does not exist in the current context

You are attempting to texture's filename as a function parameter - this is not possible. You must create a public Texture2D variable outside of the function that can be assigned in the Inspector. See my earlier example.

how do i change the cursor manager to UI?

Update to the latest release.

So I’m ignoring the object:call action now and just dropping the texture into my prefab with script on? I don’t Really get it sorry. Especially as there are quite a few examples in this thread. Thanks

jamesfootlight

Also, will you have a Cursor UI tutorial soon, to show its advantages etc?

jamesfootlight

PS I have cursor swap sorted now! Thanks!

SO, I have a custom action script that changes Default Portrait Graphics, and expressions, however, it only changes the expression Index and not the Default Portrait Graphic - any ideas?

Your code only updates the portrait icon if the expression index is valid. Move it outside to make it independent:

using UnityEngine;
#if UNITY_EDITOR
using UnityEditor;
#endif

    [System.Serializable]
    public class ChangeExpressionsAction : Action
    {

        public override ActionCategory Category { get { return ActionCategory.Custom; } }

        public override string Description { get { return "This switches the expression textures"; } }


        public AC.Char _myCharacter;
        public int _expressionIndex;
        public Texture2D _newExpressionTexture;
        public Texture2D _newPortraitIcon;


        public override float Run()
        {
            int numExpressions = _myCharacter.expressions.Count;
            if (numExpressions == 0)
            {
                Debug.LogError("Trying to change expression on character without expressions");
            }

            if (_newPortraitIcon != null)
            {
                _myCharacter.portraitIcon.ReplaceTexture (_newPortraitIcon);
            }
            if (_myCharacter != null && _newExpressionTexture != null && _expressionIndex >= 0 && _expressionIndex < numExpressions)
            {
