Is it me that is doing something wrong?
When E is pressed the second image should display to the middle of the screen.
This does not happen. The first image displays to the center.

+ Code Snippet

function startdisplaytest_init(e)

 LoadImages("Test This Image",000)
 LoadImages("Test This Image",001)
 end

function startdisplaytest_main(e)
     	SetImagePosition(20,20)
     	ShowImage(000)
		FreezePlayer()
     	Prompt ("Press E to Continue" )

      	 if g_KeyPressE == 1 then
		 SetImagePosition(50,50)
		 ShowImage(001)
		--HideImage(000)
		 end
end

(Custom) Intel i7 3.3 Mhz. 16 GB fast ram. EVGA Nvidia 1050 Ti 4GB. Dell US27 2560 x 1440. Dell 24 1920 x 1080. Awesome.
Next G. Card EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 Gaming 4GB GDDR5 PCIe3.0 Graphics Card.
Would Like EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X PCIe3.0 Graphics Card

the images system is bad, use the sprite system

but it might work if you move the position code

+ Code Snippet

function startdisplaytest_init(e)
 
 LoadImages("Test This Image",000)
 end
 
function startdisplaytest_main(e)
        SetImagePosition(20,20)
        ShowImage(000)
        FreezePlayer()
        Prompt ("Press E to Continue" )
 
         if g_KeyPressE == 1 then        
         ShowImage(001)
          SetImagePosition(50,50)
        --HideImage(000)
         end
end

p.s. with the old system you only need to "LoadImages" once

That's not the way LoadImages works.

Replace the LoadImages calls with LoadImage, something like this:

+ Code Snippet

local image1 = LoadImage( <path of first image> )
HideImage( image1 )
local image2 = LoadImage( <path of secondimage> )
HideImage( image2 )

function startdisplaytest_init(e)
end

startdisplaytest_main(e)
    if g_KeyPressE ~= 1 then
        SetImagePosition( 20, 20 )
        ShowImage( image1 )
        FreezePlayer()
        Prompt ("Press E to Continue" )
    else
        HideImage( image1 )
        SetImagePosition( 50, 50 )
        ShowImage( image2 )
end

LoadImages is the original version where it loads all images found in the folder named from 000 ~ 999 and you use the image commands to modify them
LoadImage is the new sprite version which doesn't work with the Image commands but works with the Sprite commands
IMO the LoadImages commands should be removed, they're just confusing users and not worth using anyway

I agree, very confusing.

I had assumed the LoadImage command works with ShowImage and HideImage but I haven't actually ever used them tbh.
