| ====== GUI Fixtures ====== | ====== GUI Fixtures ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | GUI fixtures are used to attach GUIs to models. | ||
| + | <clear> | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ http://www.cafu.de/images/gallery/cawe-model-editor/model-editor-3.png?252}} | ||
| + | GUIs are virtual computer desktops that the player can interact with to unlock doors, call lifts, obtain information, and much more. | ||
| + | |||
| + | They are created in the Cafu Engine Gui Editor and use scripts for their implementation and for handling events when interacting with the player. | ||

| ===== The GUI fixtures list ===== | ===== The GUI fixtures list ===== | ||
| {{ :modeleditor:gui-fixtures-list.png?|}} | {{ :modeleditor:gui-fixtures-list.png?|}} | ||
| + | The **GUI Fixtures** pane lists all GUI fixtures in the model. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For each GUI fixture, | ||
| + | * its name and | ||
| + | * the GUI fixture number | ||
| + | is shown. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A single click on a GUI fixture selects it, a double click opens the **GUI Fixture Inspector** pane as well. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Pressing the **F2** key or a single-click on an already selected GUI fixture allows you to rename the GUI fixture in place. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The “**+**” button creates a new GUI fixture and adds it to the list. | ||
| + | The “**-**” button deletes the currently selected GUI fixtures. | ||

| + | An RMB click in the **GUI Fixtures** pane opens the context menu: | ||
| + | * **Inspect/Edit** opens the **Gui Fixture Inspector** pane. | ||
| + | * **Rename** allows to rename the GUI fixture. | ||
| + | * **Add/create new**, like the "**+**" button, creates a new GUI fixture and adds it to the list. | ||

| + | The **GUI Fixture Inspector** pane shows the details of the currently selected GUI fixture. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Name==== | ||
| + | Shows the name of the currently selected GUI fixture. | ||
| + | The name can be edited in order to rename the GUI fixture. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Origin and endpoints ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The origin and the endpoints of the x- and y-axes determine the position and orientation of the GUI. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can enter and edit the mesh and vertex numbers manually, but it is much easier and faster to right-click directly on the model in the 3D view: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ :modeleditor:3d-view-context-menu.png |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Selecting one of the three **GUI fixture** menu items will fill in the related numbers in the **GUI Fixture Inspector** automatically. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Translation and scale ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Normally, the GUI rectangle is exactly aligned to the origin and the endpoints of the axes. | ||
| + | Using the translation and scale, you can move the GUI rectangle from its original position and adjust its overall size: | ||
| + | * The **Scale** values set the relative lengths of the axes. | ||
| + | * The **Translation** values move the origin in multiples of the scaled axes. | ||

| + | ===== Example video ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | This example video shows a GUI that is attached to an animated model and uses custom translation and scale settings: | ||
