hey i found an icon browser in beamNG (most of this icons are unused)

Where did you find this? I want to know if they are usable for UI messages somehow, it can make certain messages stand out in a mod

 

I figured out how to do it

Code:

ui_message(msg, ttl, category, icon)

Where:

• msg is the message
• ttl is how long to display the message
• category (not so sure what it does) just set to nil
• icon is the name of the icon (hovering over the icons in that UI @Lukas64 the dog showed will give you their names)

So for example you can do this:

Code:

ui_message("You are the goat :)", 5, nil, "goat")

 

Isn't the ui_message function deprecated? Last time I used it, it would spam the UI with copies of itself, then I checked that none of the vanilla LUA uses it, and they use gui_message instead which doesn't have this issue

 

Oh yeah it does look like its deprecated. And actually guihooks.message() takes in the same exact arguments so you can just call it like this:

Code:

guihooks.message("You are the goat :)", 5, nil, "goat")

 

This is very good news, the guihooks function is very fast so I usually use it, cool that I can add icons to it now!
