I want to create a daily newspaper. I want it to show up as a notification that you could ignore if you like... and once you click on the notification, you'll get a pop up with text. Since a newspaper always has more than one story, I would like that pop-up window to show multiple boxes/stories.
I've learned through the documentation how to call to most of the functions that I'll require... I have even figured out how to call up a pop-up window. ...but that pop-up window has the generic picture of a rover landing on Mars. I think that's because (for testing purposes) I'm creating the pop-up as a result of the OnMsg.RocketLanding() function... but what I would like to do, is change that picture. Ideally, after changing the picture, I would load text on top of it, too.
1. How do I change the picture associated with a pop-up?
2. Would it be possible to remove that picture altogether?
3. Would it be possible, after inserting a custom picture, to draw my text on top of the picture itself?
The snag that I ran into is that while there's a ton of excellent documentation, I don't see anything related to choosing the dimensions or characteristics of a pop-up window. I can change the text itself, and the end-user options, etc, but I can't figure out how to change that picture.
The function that I'm tinkering with at the moment is shared below.
Which leads to just one more question.
4. How do I use 'Return' appropriately? The documentation states that Return will give you back an INT value, since 4 options are available, it should register as 1, 2, 3, or 4... but an IF statement doesn't produce the appropriate response for me. How would I use the information gathered via 'return'? If someone presses #1, or clicks the 1st option, I want it to forward them to another function, but I don't know how to access that INT.
Thanks for taking the time to help me figure this out!
(For the record: no, my name is not Mike... and yes, that gave me the in-game text of "More stuff, Mike". Yay for figuring out how to use variables within text!)
