    Hi All,

    I am making a game on Essentials BlackWhite version 17.2

    as with this we get two screens and I see the image for the bottom screen is called "clockbg" and housed in graphics , pictures, clock folder.
    easy to change this to something else,

    but does anyone know a script command that will allow me to change this to another graphic in game? Like maybe I want a different background depending on where the player is and switch it to say clockbg1 for example, a different image.

    I googled and searched here but cannot find anything :(

    thank you
     
    Also I found the code section from scripts BW_MapClock
    def clockRender
    @sprites= {}
    @fade=false

    @sprites["bg"]=Sprite.new(@viewport)
    @sprites["bg"].bitmap=BitmapCache.load_bitmap("Graphics/Pictures/Clock/clockbg")
    @sprites["bg"].y=400"

    not sure how to say use this in an event if that possible.
     
    Just a heads up. Essentials BW runs on Essentials version 15.1.

    Oh hey, things seem to be working so far, ive spent a fair bit of time making my game, should I expect some issues then? Ive not had any bugs or problems so far?
    unless im mistaken and im not using 17.2 been a long time since I did any download.

    as to my post, any thoughts at least on if my request seems simple or would require some brand new definitions and scripts to complete?
    thanks :)
