modifying shape

For help with anything that CEGUI doesn't offer straight out-of-the-box, e.g.:
- Implementation of new features, such as new Core classes, widgets, WindowRenderers, etc. ...
- Modification of any existing features for specific purposes
- Integration of CEGUI in new engines or frameworks and writing of new plugins (Renderer, Parser, ...) or modules

modifying shape

Postby shimrod » Fri Jul 22, 2011 12:06

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to modify shape of some type of window.
Typically, I wish to create some circular progress bar, in the aim to show shield and hull state of my ship in a game.

how can I do this?

The point of attention, is that I am coding my game in python, so I am using the binding providing by Pypi (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyCEGUI/0.7.5).

thank you

as for all forums. I agree.
For my mind I already searched in this forum, and on google, but my topic appears only once, and the answer is not corresponding to what I wish.
the search you provide to me, is to create some circle shape, and it is not the topic.

I wish to have something like that :

Not a circle I filled. It is a bit more complex at my mind, it is why I wish to know if it is possible, and the way I can do it.

Thank you

This is why you need to provide all information up front, so as not to waste anyone's time. You should have linked that image to begin with; the only thing you said was I wish to create some circular progress bar.

Anyway, I do not think you can do this out of the box with CEGUI and/or the CEGUI Animation system. So for this clock-like progression I would probably just disable AutoRenderingSurface on the window, use Render To Texture to manually update the image, and then for each step of progress you want to show update the texture vertices in a Triangle Fan style.
