Using this entity based physics-active script at the moment for my hud but would like it to simply switch between 2 images by pressing "E" at anytime....get player distance not needed! Just 2 images like reading a note but whenever player chooses to!



appreciate any help....

Here's a link to a video I did on this. The script is also there.

I use the tilde key in this demo, but no problem to change that to any key you want.

After watching Dvaders tutorial I was able to wright this nice little script using the "F" key to switch Hud images but I must Hold the "F" key down to view the 2nd image! When I release the "F" key it automatically returns to the 1st image! How can I make it Lock onto that image until the key is pressed again

This is the template I use to write scripts which use keys to toggle something:



This one is for the J key, here's a picture of the keyboard scan codes, if you want to change it.

Thanks Belidos & smallg.....@ smallg!

I'm sure it's my limited knowledge of LUA but your code is not working ! 1 my end's and if's do not appear blue in my editor which I have shuffled around to fix and 2 when you say "image_number" should be using "ShowImage (0) or just the Image # as it's self?? there are only 2 images I am trying to shuffle between 000 & 001....

it's a variable like a counter so don't need to change it.
keep max images as 1 and it should already cycle through 2 pictures (as slot 0 is used as your first slot)
