Add Image to Quest

[cruddish]

Hi Tony!

I was wondering if there was a way to attach an image to a Quest and have it displayed on the Standard Quest Log UI, the way you can define its Name, Description and Entries. I want to have unique splash art for each quests, similar to how Dragon Age Inquisition does it for theirs. I did try creating a custom field using the dialogue system to maybe slot images in, but I had no way of actually calling it in the Standard Quest Log UI.

Let me know and thanks!!!

Hi,

In version 3, this will be built in. Until then, you can put an image in a Resources folder and add the image's filename to a custom field in your quest. Then make a subclass of StandardUIQuestLogWindow and override the RepaintSelectedQuest() method. Also add a variable for the splash art UI Image that you can assign in the inspector. In the RepaintSelectedQuest() method, set the UI Image. Something like:

Code: Select all

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;

public class SplashArtQuestLogWindow : StandardUIQuestLogWindow
{
    public Image splashImage;

    protected override void RepaintSelectedQuest(QuestInfo quest)
    {
        // Get the quest's image name from the custom field "SplashImage":
        var imageName = DialogueLua.GetQuestField(quest.Title, "SplashImage").asString;
        // Load the image from Resources and set the UI Image:
        splashImage.sprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>(imageName);
        base.RepaintSelectedQuest(quest);
    }
}

Thanks for getting back! Once I've made this subclass, do I use this new component instead of the StandardUIQuestLogWindow? Or do I use both in tandem, simply using the new one for the Image field?

Use this one in place of the regular StandardUIQuestLogWindow. You can replace it in-place.
