IconEditor

Description

An icon editor that permits a user to modify a SpawnIcon and re-render it. This is used by the spawn menu and is what is shown when you right-click an icon and select Edit Icon.

This makes use of the DAdjustableModelPanel element.

This panel is only available in Sandbox and Sandbox derived gamemodes!

IconEditor:Refresh()

Updates the internal DAdjustableModelPanel and SpawnIcon. This should be called immediately after setting the SpawnIcon with IconEditor:SetIcon.

IconEditor:RenderIcon()

Re-renders the SpawnIcon. Called when a user clicks the RENDER button, this retrieves the render data from the internal DAdjustableModelPanel and passes it as a table to Panel:RebuildSpawnIconEx.

IconEditor:RightLayout()

Applies the right side view camera settings for the model in the DAdjustableModelPanel. Called when a user clicks the Right (fourth) button (See the ). (Note: The icon for this points left.)

This is used internally - although you're able to use it you probably shouldn't. Sets up the default ambient and directional lighting for the DAdjustableModelPanel. Called by IconEditor:Refresh.

IconEditor:SetFromEntity( Entity ent )

Sets the editor's model and icon from an entity. Alternative to IconEditor:SetIcon, with uses a SpawnIcon. You do not need to call IconEditor:Refresh after this.

IconEditor:SetIcon( Panel icon )

Sets the SpawnIcon to modify. You should call Panel:Refresh immediately after this, as the user will not be able to make changes to the icon beforehand.

IconEditor:UpdateEntity( Entity ent )

This is used internally - although you're able to use it you probably shouldn't. Updates the entity being rendered in the internal DAdjustableModelPanel. Called by the model panel's DModelPanel:LayoutEntity method.

Example

Creates a SpawnIcon with model "models/props_borealis/bluebarrel001.mdl" and an IconEditor to modify it.

local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" ) -- Container for the SpawnIcon frame:SetPos( 200, 200 ) frame:SetSize( 200, 200 ) frame:SetTitle( "Icon Editor Example" ) frame:MakePopup() local icon = vgui.Create( "SpawnIcon" , frame ) -- SpawnIcon, with blue barrel model icon:Center() -- It is important below to include the SkinID (0 = default skin); the IconEditor will not work otherwise icon:SetModel( "models/props_borealis/bluebarrel001.mdl", 0 ) local editor = vgui.Create( "IconEditor" ) -- Create IconEditor editor:SetIcon( icon ) -- Set the SpawnIcon to modify editor:Refresh() -- Sets up the internal DAdjustableModelPanel and SpawnIcon editor:MakePopup() editor:Center()
