Hey guys

I'm getting error 501 (RUNTIMEERROR_IMAGEILLEGALNUMBER), the scene is as follow:

I'm testing some idea i've about add some pic when player run into winzone.

For load image I'm using sprite system, instead of "ShowImage" statement.
I'm using lee code, just changing image and path.
Lee's code works, I've tried it before, in fact there is some vid in another thread.

I've attached script to an winzone market.
The image load, and prompt too. But suddenly it crash and GG thrown a error message 501.

This piece of code is part of script I'm working on. I've cut the code for isolate and find the culprit, but not to aval.

Thanks for feedback and watch the video.

its normally because the path is wrong, make sure you have the \\ in the right place.

So, why it upload img (diamond) in the video?

Tha's the script:

+ Code Snippet

local imgcounter
local imgWildcard
local myImage

function load_bmp_init(e)
	imgcounter = 0
	imgWildcard = "00"
	myImage = ""
end

function load_bmp_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)

if PlayerDist < 200 then
  --JumpToLevelIfUsed(e)
 --Prompt("Well done!, level completed, you get diamonds")
 
-- backdrop
g_imgBackdrop = LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\Diamonds\\diamond.png")
g_sprBackdrop = CreateSprite(g_imgBackdrop)
SetSpritePosition(g_sprBackdrop,50,50)
--SetSpriteSize(g_sprBackdrop,110,-1)
SetSpriteOffset(g_sprBackdrop,5,5)
--FreezePlayer()
Prompt("Well done!, level completed, you get diamonds")

if g_KeyPressE == 1 then 
    DeleteSprite(g_sprBackdrop)
	--UnFreezePlayer()
end

end
end

at first glance, script looks ok, but the error is saying the number of the image that it's trying to assign it to is illegal, meaning whatever the contents of the variable is either not a valid number or blank.
Try debugging the values that are being returned by the g_imgBackdrop and g_sprBackdrop variables, should both be numeric.

Both are numeric values.

The image are transparent background, does this make the difference?

Thanks guys for help me.

Try this version (edit - with your image file path of course - oops):

+ Code Snippet

local imgcounter
local imgWildcard
local myImage
 
function load_bmp_init(e)
    imgcounter = 0
    imgWildcard = "00"
    myImage = ""
	g_imgBackdrop = LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\Diamonds\\diamond.png")
	g_sprBackdrop = CreateSprite(g_imgBackdrop)
	SetSpritePosition(g_sprBackdrop,200,200)
end
 
function load_bmp_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 
if PlayerDist < 200 then
  --JumpToLevelIfUsed(e)
 --Prompt("Well done!, level completed, you get diamonds")
  
-- backdrop
--g_imgBackdrop = LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\msprites\\cross1.png")
--g_sprBackdrop = CreateSprite(g_imgBackdrop)
SetSpritePosition(g_sprBackdrop,50,50)
--SetSpriteSize(g_sprBackdrop,110,-1)
SetSpriteOffset(g_sprBackdrop,5,5)
--FreezePlayer()
Prompt("Well done!, level completed, you get diamonds")
 
if g_KeyPressE == 1 then
    DeleteSprite(g_sprBackdrop)
    --UnFreezePlayer()
end
 
end
end

cybernescence, mate you are great!, now it works, diamond appears and dissapears wueh hit "E" key as expected.
Thanks a lot dude.

Now the complete idea is run a gif file I had made.
Firts I made diamond model (Max)>animated it>make a video>make gif file from video.
Now I've all the 60 PNG images stored in right folder, and named such as "000.png/059.png", all they are the animation frames, and transparent background.

Unfortunatelly GG load the prompt but not the images, even the firts one either, just the prompt, and does not crash.

The script:

--local imgcounter
local imgWildcard
local myImage = {}
  
function load_bmp_init(e)
    --imgcounter = 0
    imgWildcard = "00"
    --myImage = ""
    g_imgBackdrop = LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\Diamonds\\diamond.png")
    g_sprBackdrop = CreateSprite(g_imgBackdrop)
    SetSpritePosition(g_sprBackdrop,200,200)
	
	for i = 1, 58 do

if i<10 then imgWildcard = "00" .. i .. ".png"	
 	else
		imgWildcard = "0" .. i .. ".png"	
	end
	
	myImage[i] = LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\Diamond\\" .. imgWildcard)
	img=myImage[i]
end
end -- load_bmp_init
	 
function load_bmp_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
  Prompt("img: " ..img) -- for testing, return numeric value
if PlayerDist < 200 then
  --JumpToLevelIfUsed(e)
SetSpritePosition(g_sprBackdrop,50,50)
SetSpriteOffset(g_sprBackdrop,5,5)
--FreezePlayer()

for h = 1,#myImage do
	SetSpriteImage(g_sprBackdrop,tostring(myImage[h]))
	img=myImage[h]
end
--Prompt(img) -- for testing , return numeric value too
 --Prompt("Well done!, level completed, you get diamonds")
if g_KeyPressE == 1 then
    DeleteSprite(g_sprBackdrop)
    --UnFreezePlayer()
end
end
end

+ Code Snippet

--local imgcounter
local imgWildcard
local myImage = {}
  
function load_bmp_init(e)
    --imgcounter = 0
    imgWildcard = "00"
    --myImage = ""
    g_imgBackdrop = LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\Diamonds\\diamond.png")
    g_sprBackdrop = CreateSprite(g_imgBackdrop)
    SetSpritePosition(g_sprBackdrop,200,200)
	
	for i = 1, 58 do

	if i<10 then imgWildcard = "00" .. i .. ".png"	
 	else
		imgWildcard = "0" .. i .. ".png"	
	end
	
	myImage[i] = LoadImage("scriptbank\\images\\Diamond\\" .. imgWildcard)
	img=myImage[i]
end
end -- load_bmp_init
	 
function load_bmp_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
  Prompt("img: " ..img) -- for testing, return numeric value
if PlayerDist < 200 then
  --JumpToLevelIfUsed(e)
SetSpritePosition(g_sprBackdrop,50,50)
SetSpriteOffset(g_sprBackdrop,5,5)
--FreezePlayer()

for h = 1,#myImage do
	SetSpriteImage(g_sprBackdrop,tostring(myImage[h]))
	img=myImage[h]
end
--Prompt(img) -- for testing , return numeric value too
 --Prompt("Well done!, level completed, you get diamonds")
if g_KeyPressE == 1 then
    DeleteSprite(g_sprBackdrop)
    --UnFreezePlayer()
end
end
end

Note: "img" variable are returning numeric values when testing, so teorically "MyImage" array are getting all the paths, anyway I was expecting string values (the image paths), instead of numeric values, even besides I'm using "tostring".
Ignore if this make the difference?

Thanks again guys, for the feedback.

Probably best to us the 'old' image commands if you've got png's from 000.png to 059.png:

+ Code Snippet

function load_bmp_init(e)
	LoadImages("Diamond",0)
	imgCount = 0
end
      
function load_bmp_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)

if imgCount ~= -1 then 
	if PlayerDist < 200 then 
		SetImagePosition(50,50)
		SetImageAlignment(1)
		ShowImage(imgCount)
		imgCount = imgCount + 1
		Prompt("Well done!, level completed, you get diamonds")
		if g_KeyPressE == 1 then
			HideImage(imgCount)
			imgCount = -1
			--JumpToLevelIfUsed(e)
		end
	else
		HideImage(imgCount)
		imgCount = 0
	end		
	if imgCount > 59 then imgCount = 0 end
end

end

Cool cybernescence! it does the job.

Thanks you very much.

I was thinking about it, in fact that was my firts thought, anyway I thought to try sprite system, as most avance system; perhaps in the future.

Post below some level I'm working on, in a video.
Well, the bad new is than the diamond is in the very end of the video, and the worst is that the FPS will happily falling down.
I did not put any bad guy yet, so you imagine if I put them.
Though perhaps worthwhile.

Thanks guys for help, and for watch the video.
