The idea is class mask in GUI elements. This does mask the controls and controlsBackground elements with mask's Black-White balance. The white part in mask is opaque, while black part is transparent.
This will allow players to make more complex GUI elements.
Example code:
class maskDisplay
{
access = 0;
movingEnable = 0;
class mask //Just plain black by default
{
class logo: RscPictureKeepAspect //White logo
{
text = "a3\ui_f\data\Logos\arma3_expansion_ca.paa";
x = 0;
y = 0;
w = 1;
h = 1;
};
};
class controls
{
class BG: RscBackground
{
x = safeZoneX;
y = safeZoneY;
w = safeZoneW;
h = safeZoneH;
colorBackground[] = {1,0.5,0,1};
};
class logo: RscPicture
{
text = "a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\RscIngameUI\RscUnitInfo\gradient_ca.paa";
x = safeZoneX;
y = 0;
w = safeZoneW;
h = 1;
colorText[] = {0.5,0.5,0.5,1};
};
};
};And the result (top: mask image, middle: controls, bottom: result)
I'm not even sure about the possibility to do this in RV engine nowadays, but this is actually I wanted to see in the game.
