How do I make my code show an image from tables?

TeslaX

Does anyone have the project files form the 0.9.90 webinar? or know where I can get it? I am trying to do a picture game and pull the images from tables, but I have never displayed anything but text from tables before. In the webinar he did this very dynamically, I would like to use this same method!

Does this at the 34min mark:

This might help - it's pretty simple.

with change attribute you can assign an image name to the self.image attribute. The name of the image can come from a table cell (text).

with change attribute you can assign an image name to the self.image attribute. The name of the image can come from a table cell (text).

In detail:

Change attribute self.Image = tableCellValue(mytable,1,1) (Table Name, row, column)

Cell 1,1 in mytable = ImageName

Also, if your working with a prototype actor and have multiple images that are specific to an instance of that actor, and want to save a lot of time. Do something like this:

Place your actor instances in a layer that holds only that type of actor (for organization purposes only). Then rename each instance to a integer such as 1, 2, 3, ... Use the name attribute of that actor to link a cell in a table. ex: self.image = tableCellValue (mytable, 1, self.name). Now, list all of the image names that pertain to an actor instance in the column of the actor name.

Don't forget to add .png to the name.
