Solved HELP...Different pictures pop up when select different text from a drop down menu

Hi there, I'm a beginner just start learning KSP and I'm have a question about drop down menu, is it possible to make different pictures pop up when select different text from a drop down menu? How can I link them together?

For example:
$shoes_pic1_id show up something when drop down menu "shoes1" selected?
$shoes_pic2_id show up something when drop down menu "shoes2" selected?

Code:

on init
  
    make_perfview
    set_ui_height(632)
    
  declare ui_switch $Shoes_on_off_switch
    move_control_px($Shoes_on_off_switch,40,40)
    make_persistent($Shoes_on_off_switch)
    set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($Shoes_on_off_switch),$CONTROL_PAR_TEXT,"")
    set_control_par(get_ui_id($Shoes_on_off_switch),$CONTROL_PAR_WIDTH,60)
    set_control_par(get_ui_id($Shoes_on_off_switch),$CONTROL_PAR_HEIGHT,60)
    set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($Shoes_on_off_switch),$CONTROL_PAR_HELP,"Shoes On Off Switch.")
    set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($Shoes_on_off_switch),$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"switch_on_off")
 
    declare $shoes_pic_1_id
    set_control_par_str($shoes_pic_1_id ,$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"SHOES_1")
    move_control_px($Shoes_on_off_switch,150,150)
    declare $shoes_pic_2_id
    set_control_par_str($shoes_pic_2_id ,$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"SHOES_2")
    move_control_px($Shoes_on_off_switch,150,150)
    declare $shoes_pic_3_id
    set_control_par_str($shoes_pic_3_id ,$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"SHOES_3")
    move_control_px($Shoes_on_off_switch,150,150)

  declare ui_menu $ShoesDropDownMenu
   add_menu_item ($ShoesDropDownMenu, "Selection", 0)
   add_menu_item ($ShoesDropDownMenu, "Shoes1", 1)
   add_menu_item ($ShoesDropDownMenu, "Shoes2", 2)
   add_menu_item ($ShoesDropDownMenu, "Shoes3", 3)

     $Shoes_on_off_switch := 0 {$Shoes_on_off_switch is off by default, so hide $ShoesDropDownMenu}
     move_control ($ShoesDropDownMenu,0,0)
     move_control_px($Shoes_on_off_switch,40,40)
     make_persistent($Shoes_on_off_switch)
     make_persistent ($ShoesDropDownMenu)


    read_persistent_var ($Shoes_on_off_switch)
      if ($Shoes_on_off_switch = 1)
        move_control_px ($ShoesDropDownMenu,40,80)
      else
        move_control ($ShoesDropDownMenu,0,0)   
      end if
end on

on ui_control ($Shoes_on_off_switch)
    if ($Shoes_on_off_switch = 1)
      move_control_px ($ShoesDropDownMenu,40,80)
    else
      move_control ($ShoesDropDownMenu,0,0)   
    end if
end on 

 

You have to call a single picture that will be shared by as many Menu selections .

An example is present in the KONTAKT Factory Library with the Master FX selection menu.

 

You're going about this in a wrong way.

First, you cannot use set_control_par_str() on a variable that is not a UI control. Ideally you would have an ui_label on which you can either change the picture by using $CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE (and you would do it in ui_control callback of the menu, AND persistence_changed callback), or you would have one PNG with multiple frames, which you would then switch with $CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE_STATE.

 

Hi,

Would you mind make a code example please?
I'm still a bit confused how to make it work, but I would love to find it out and make more understanding that helps with my study.

Thank you so much!

 

Code:

on init
    declare ui_menu $Menu
    declare ui_label $Pic (1, 1)

    make_persistent($Menu)

    set_text($Pic, "")

    add_menu_item($Menu, "First", 0)
    add_menu_item($Menu, "Second", 1)
    add_menu_item($Menu, "Third", 2)
end on

function UpdatePic()
    set_control_par(get_ui_id($Pic), $CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE_STATE, $Menu)
end function

on persistence_changed
    call UpdatePic()
end on

on ui_control ($Menu)
    call UpdatePic()
end on

Of course use $CONTROL_PAR_WIDTH/HEIGHT on the label to resize it according to your picture. This code assumes all the pictures are in one PNG with multiple frames.

 

Thats kl lol Thank you so much for your help, cheers
