Show Names on Hover

[Tutorial Bot]

Difficulty: 1/5

By adding this tutorial, player names will not be displayed unless you hover your mouse over them.

In frmMirage, change Private Sub picScreen_MouseMove to:

Code:

Private Sub picScreen_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
    Call EditorMouseDown(Button, Shift, x, y)
    
        CurX = Int(x / PIC_X)
        CurY = Int(y / PIC_Y)

End Sub

This change sets the CurX and CurY values (which will be added in a little bit) to the tile you are hovering over.

In modGameLogic, under:

Code:

' Game fps
Public GameFPS As Long

Add:

Code:

'Loc of pointer
Public CurX As Integer
Public CurY As Integer

This sets the CurX and CurY variables.

Now, in Sub Gameloop, change:

Code:

' Lock the backbuffer so we can draw text and names
        TexthDC = DD_BackBuffer.GetDC
        For I = 1 To MAX_PLAYERS
              If IsPlaying(I) And GetPlayerMap(I) = GetPlayerMap(MyIndex) Then
                  Call BltPlayerName(I)
              End If
        Next I

To:

Code:

' Lock the backbuffer so we can draw text and names
        TexthDC = DD_BackBuffer.GetDC
        For I = 1 To MAX_PLAYERS
              If IsPlaying(I) And GetPlayerMap(I) = GetPlayerMap(MyIndex) Then
                  If Player(I).x = CurX And Player(I).y = CurY Then
                      Call BltPlayerName(I)
                  End If
              End If
        Next I

All done!
