overlay image

[gammasts 0]

Is there a way to display an image on top of a game window? For instance I want to create a script that will display an image saying enemy somewhere on the screen when the center of the screen point is a certain color.

Is there a function or something? An example would be nice.

I don't think a game would simply allow it.

For example Diablo II has to be the focus, you can't put anything over it like a splash screen or something.

If you can get the game in a window, and spit the information into a GUI I think that'd work well.

no functions to do that.. as far as i know your probably going to want to get your hands dirty with C or C++ or some laguage like that... i highly doubth theres a dllcall either to do this..

A gui window set with the extended style attribute $WS_EX_TOPMOST might work.

See if this works for you,it stays on top of all windows ive tested it on.

Havnt tryed it with a game though.

#include "GUIConstants.au3"
$Msg_Gui = GUICreate("Enemy", 100, 20, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
$Lable = GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Enemy here --->",0, 0, 100)
$Lable_Font = GUICtrlSetFont ($Lable, 9, 600, -1, "Comic Sans MS")
GuiSetState ()

while 1
   sleep (10)
