## 1. Overview
Slideshow is a very powerful tool for mission makers and platoon leaders giving them the power to project images on some objects.
Slideshow is setup through a module or [function](#create-slideshow).
Important notes:
- Only objects with `hiddenSelection` `0` can be used as "screens".
- If you set a duration the remotes will be disabled (if the remotes are disabled `ace_interaction` is not needed).
- You can have multiple sets of images on different screens by using multiple modules/function calls.
- It is advisable images resolution sizes are powers of 2 (eg. 512x512) to avoid graphical glitches in them.
## 2. Scripting
### 2.1 Create Slideshow
`ace_slideshow_fnc_createSlideshow`
| Arguments | Type | Optional (default value)
---| --------- | ---- | ------------------------
0 | Screen Objects | Array | Required
1 | Controller Objects | Array | Required (screen objects are used if empty `[]`, none are available with automatic transitions)
2 | Image Paths | Array | Required (paths must use backslash `\`)
3 | Action Names | Array | Required
4 | Slide Duration | Number | Optional (default: `0`, `0` disables automatic transitions)
5 | Set Name | String | Optional (default: localized `"Slides"`)
6 | Texture Selection | Number | Optional (default: `0`)
**R** | None | None | Return value
_Note: Set Name argument added in 3.9.1._
#### 2.1.1 Example
`[[object1, object2], [controller1], ["images\image1.paa", "images\image2.paa"], ["Action1", "Action2"], 5, "My Slides", 1] call ace_slideshow_fnc_createSlideshow;`
| Arguments | Explanation
---| --------- | -----------
0 | `[object1, object2]` | Objects on which images will be projected on
1 | `[controller1]` | Objects with which slideshow can be controlled
2 | `["images\image1.paa", "images\image2.paa"]` | Paths to images projected on screen objects
3 | `["Action1", "Action2"]` | Action names for interaction menu if automatic transitions are not enabled
4 | `5` | 5s slide duration before change to next image
5 | `"My Slides"` | Main interaction point name, for easier distinguishing of multiple slideshow sets
6 | `1` | Uses texture selection 1 for objects with multiple options
### 2.2 Create Map Images
`ace_slideshow_fnc_mapImage`
```sqf
* Returns a procedural texture that will display a custom map.
* Needs to be run on all machines.
*
* Arguments:
* 0: Position <ARRAY> (default: center of map)
* 1: Scale (1.0 fits entire map in x-dimension) <NUMBER> (default: 1.25)
* 2: Markers <ARRAY> (default: [])
* - 0: Position 2D/3D <ARRAY> (default: [0, 0, 0])
* - 1: Text <STRING> (default: "")
* - 2: Marker Type or Icon Name <STRING> (default: "mil_dot")
* - 3: Color <ARRAY> (default: [1, 0, 0, 1])
* 3: Map Type (0: Normal, 1: Topographic, 2: Satelite) or any custom class (even mission config) <NUMBER, STRING> (default: 0)
* 4: Code to run on init (will be passed [_map, _display, _displayID]) <CODE> (default: {})
* 5: Resolution <NUMBER> (default: 4096)
```
### 2.2.1 Map Slideshow Example
```sqf
tex1 = [] call ace_slideshow_fnc_mapImage;
tex2 = [(getPos aWhiteboard), 0.5, [[getpos aWhiteboard, "you", "mil_start"]], 0] call ace_slideshow_fnc_mapImage;
tex3 = [[4000, 4000], 0.5, [[[5000, 5000], "target", "mil_objective"]], 2] call ace_slideshow_fnc_mapImage;
[[aWhiteboard], [], [tex1, tex2, tex3], ["Full", "Sat Start", "Sat Objective"]] call ace_slideshow_fnc_createSlideshow;
```
### 2.2.2 Map Slideshow Advanced Example
```sqf
private _initCode = {
params ["_map", "", "_displayID"];
// Add custom draw event handler (will only be called when display is actually updated)
_map ctrlAddEventHandler ["draw", {
params ["_map"];
_map drawIcon ["\A3\Drones_F\Air_F_Gamma\UAV_02\Data\UI\Map_UAV_02_CA.paa", [0, 0, 1, 1], getPos theUAV, 24, 24, getDir theUAV];
}];
// Live update the map
[{
params ["_displayID","_idPFH"];
private _display = findDisplay _displayID;
if (isNull _display) exitWith {
systemChat format ["%1 - removing pfeh", _this];
[_idPFH] call CBA_fnc_removePerFrameHandler;
};
displayUpdate _display;
private _map = _display displayCtrl 1;
_map ctrlMapAnimAdd [0, 0.3, getpos theUAV];
ctrlMapAnimCommit _map;
}, 0, _displayID ] call CBA_fnc_addPerFrameHandler;
};
tex4 = [nil, 0.3, [[getpos aComputer, "you", "mil_start"]], 2, _initCode] call ace_slideshow_fnc_mapImage;
[[aComputer, aComputer2], [], [tex4], ["Sat Follow UAV"]] call ace_slideshow_fnc_createSlideshow;
```
