Trackables

Post by Greenspawn » Thu Jun 10, 2010 10:46 am

Well I'm a beginner, but I've been playing one of ToadCop's maps TCX which I'm pretty sure uses trackables. Anybody know anything about them?

Yup, I made the TKoK Inventory system (similar to Toad's ones but not twinking impossible to read or modify :p) using them. What do you want to know?

I'm not really familiar with TCX though.

Wait, is this about using trackables to figure out where the mouse pointer is on the screen? I may have asked the wrong question.

That's what trackables are for. What're you trying to do with them?

What I want to do is have icons displayed on the screen, then if the mouse hovers over (or clicks on) one of them I can display information about that item.

So you want a full screen inventory?

Not exactly, I'm looking at methods for hero selection, and it was one of the ones I considered.
