[Help] CompassNode

[velosong]

i get trouble in making Gunner view indicator for Gunner( NOT for pilot). I m still confused by some values of CompassNode.


for example

Code: Select all

hudBuilder.createCompassNode      Ah1zCoPilotHud Ah1zCoPilotGunnerBarView 3 272 110 123 16 1 0
hudBuilder.setCompassNodeTexture     1 Ingame\Vehicles\Icons\Hud\Air\Attack\Ah1z\ah1z_compasArrow16x8
hudBuilder.setCompassNodeTextureSize	12 8
hudBuilder.setCompassNodeBorder		0 0 0 0
hudBuilder.setCompassNodeValueVariable   PlayerAngle
hudBuilder.setCompassNodeOffset		0

i know "272 110" means XY position coordinate.Texture will be squeezed by "setCompassNodeTextureSize". "setCompassNodeBorder" set the space which wouldnt show in hud, PlayerAngle is type of compass which show the player`s view orientation.


But,
1), i cant figure out what the "123 16" is.
2), what dose the number 3...1 0 mean?
3), why dose it use "setCompassNodeOffset", what value here is correct ?




there`s another question

well,i have one question left,

hudBuilder.setCompassNodeValueVariable VehicleTurretAngle

i set the value to "VehicleTurretAngle" for my GunnerView indicator in CoGunner`s HUD, but it act in reversed direction: go left when i turn my turret right,
i ve tried other value like playerAngle, which has the same problem.

do you know the reason?

this are the codes in my file.the size of my texture "ah1z_compasArrow512x8.dds" is 512*8 pix

Code: Select all

rem ------- Gunner`s Orientation View (up) ---------------

hudBuilder.createCompassNode                 Ah1zCoPilotHud Ah1zCoPilotGunnerBarView 3 272 132 285 8 1 0
